My 11th & 16th anniversaries with WonderWife are coming up this weekend. What did I buy her? Nothing. Yet. We had previously agreed not to buy each other anything, but my wife broke this embargo. How do I know this? Because she also can’t keep a secret!
I came home from the TechMixer late last night and she was giddy with anticipation on my reaction to her gifts. Plural. “Open them or I will return them” she says. I called her bluff. She called mine. Damn.
First up is the Nikon Speedlight SB-400, a light, compact attachment to my Nikon D50. This would have been handy on any number of portrait occasions and highly desired. The idea is that the flash swivels up so light “bounces” up and reflects off the ceiling/walls as opposed to the subject’s face. Initial tests were very pleasing. Photos not provided because I was exhausted and looked like ****.
Secondly was a Nikon lens hood that reduces glare/light. Neat!
Thirdly, the ASMP Professional Business Practices In Photography book.
You can tell she really loves/supports me even though I haven’t been as attentive to her during the entire month of April (PhotoCamp, 1040 Fest, Art Connection, IPSA, TechMixer, etc).
Damn.
