Maybe I should have spent this time working on my taxes, but naaahhh!

I Have read a lot of posts lately about the 550EX, I know the basics about it, but since it's raining and no Harley or boat riding this weekend, I decided to really get to know my 550EX, Here is what I came up with. If I spent half as much time looking for a job as I do setting up a shot, I would be rich! But now I feel like me and my 550EX have finally bonded!

Wow no kidding.

Thanks for giving me the inspiration to better study my own 550ex.

As for going to Vegas (baby!), you needed to know your strobe before you went, so this was time well spent!

Me? I've been using my 550ex as just a standard flash, knowing that it has a lot more capability. However, I figured I was better off getting to know my camera first.

You know the last time I spent so much time with my nose in manuals I was coding in Assembler! yikes

Hey BC, These shots are GREAT! I really like the first shot where the dice are caught in the air. Very inspirational.

Ahhh...Nice. I love those rainy-day indoor shoots. Amazing what you can find around the house. Very nice shots.

Very very nice work, they would look awsome with green felt of black velvet in a seemless background.

Thanks for all the nice comments eveyone, and GenEOS, I agree about some green felt. I'll go buy some so I will have it next time it rains. :)
