I've got full compatabiliy with the Nikon CLS on all my speedlights.. Now I have no excuse to get creative.. I just need a subject..

been looking on Strobist.com for inspiration.

How is it you always step in crap and come out smelling good??? send some of that karma my way will you!

LoL.. I'm always in the crap.. I'm just an optimist and prefer to imagine positive outcomes.. For example my first wife.. She was a real &*%(^£*&£*%*.... But if I hadn't married her, I'd never have got divorced, so I wouldn't have been moping around like a lost puppy with sad eyes, and my now life long partner, friend, wife, lover (delete as appropriate) would not have walked into my life and I'd still be living in crappy Southend trying to find somethign worth living for. Instead I found my wife, jacked in a very good job, took up a less well paid job, moved to Switzerland, learned to ride motorbikes, and found photography..

Don't get pissed, we all have our fair share of shite to deal with, it's just I take the shite moments as an opportunity to improve.. YN-560 for an SB-800 seems a fair trade. And if you take into account what I paid for the YN-560, the SB-800 was a reasonable price.

The dog's getting extra biscuits tonight!
