Or a lightsphere diffuser on the flash? I'm so confused. Are you talking about a flash bracket that swings around? Or a lightsphere diffuser on the flash? I’m so confused.

I want to know more! Hubby and I need to get a new camera soon and we're going to splurge...mostly because I won't have it any other way (: I'd love to look into this contraption a bit more...do you know the real name?

It's something I need to get over more so because it's also mixed with me thinking those people around me are disdaining and sort of blowing off my camera and possible skills. But I shouldn't care about that. The proof is in the pasta sauce, right? I always like when there are accidental blurs. Kim and Maria, it's alllll accidental. I just focus on the person, I don't use flash, and the person stays very still. With luck:) Gabriel, I’m REALLY having a hard time with the jealousy part.

I used to show up at events with my press pass and Minolta 450si, so for two years I was surrounded by people with $10k worth of equipment bought and paid for by their newspaper. I'm pretty sure their camera bags cost more than my equipment. Not being jealous was something I had to work at... but I got there. I like the purple people in the far background, it looks like the light is coming from the magic flash. If you ever feel anxious about the size of your equipment again, I bought a pocket digital last year to see what the hype's all about. I haven't done any event shooting with it but I have nightmares where I have to... I don’t know what a “magical flash rounder outer” is, but it sounds very cool and very expensive.

Thats a good picture, I'm sure he'll be happy with that, even without a magic flash. I know that camera nod too, it must be an international sign as it works here.
