Custody of the new toy

This afternoon begins a LONG weekend, it’s a nice day out, and I have custody of the law school’s newest toy until Monday. It’s a Canon EOS 40D, which is a nice step up from my Digital Rebel.  It also has a Speedlite 430EX Flash, which I’ve been eyeing for my own camera.

Now, I just have to find something interesting to shoot and some time to do it.  And we have to hope that the weather stays nice.  And if that’s not enough to hope for, I have to figure out how to use it.  There are more buttons on just the flash than I have on my entire camera!  I do need to learn it since I’m the “unofficial photographer” here at the law school.

Then again, I guess I could just use my camera with the Speedlite . . .
