New Flash toy

For the holidays, I recieved a Gary Fong lightsphere, which has modified the quality of my flash photography - portraits and group shots have taken on a whole new atmosphere. I'll be heading back to the Botanical gardens soon to try out some flower shots with the new flash device as well!

Sabres game!

I was lucky enough to go to a Sabres game this evening. I read on Sabres.com that cameras of any size are allowed as long as you don't bother your neighbors, so I grabbed my E3 and 50-200mm and off I went! I was in section 121 for most of the game, looking downice. My friends Kerri and Nicole turned out to be at the game, and had seats right at the glass - so I was able to sneak in and get some really close, ice-level shots near the end.

Here they are!
