Shiny
It's probably bad juju to have such a negative post up here for so long, so I feel like I'd better write something. Problem is, I have nothing much to say. I've been under the weather since last Thursday night when I woke up in the middle of the night feeling feverish. Friday, Saturday and Sunday all went by with an overabundance of naps, throbbing sinuses, and a bit of whining.
And now I'm at work and I've gone far too many hours without a nap, and I'm really tired. So, to cheer myself up, I have just ordered this:

It should be an adventure. Back in July I asked myself how long I could hold out before buying this. I'm surprised I lasted this long.

Is this a flash attachment for a camera?
I am so not camera savvy.

Yes, yes it is. I'm hoping this will allow me to take much better pictures indoors. This is not for my little tiny camera you've seen me with, it's for my big Canon SLR.

Few troubles there are in this world that a speedlight can't solve.
I hope you're already a fan of David Hobby, Strobist, because if you are not now, you soon will be.

I'm about to buy a Canon DSLR - which one do you have?

sgazetti: Yeah, I've been stalking the Strobist for months.
Simon: I have a really old EOS Digital Rebel (that's all it's called - no numbers or letters associated with this one). It came out in 2003.
I don't know much of anything about the new models. I'm still happy with mine, though. Assuming the new flash works with it.

You deserve that--whatever it is!
