Congrats.
Reading the manual? Isn't that sort of un-American? :rolleyes :patriot:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

That "male" thing is a myth spread by women. My wife never reads the manuals on anything. If she doesn't understand it, she experiments or calls our son :kiss:

Congrats on the new flash! Did you take the photo in your avatar? Did you use an automotive photography rig or take the shot from another car? :judge:
