It's Dark, and we're wearing sunglasses

So the stag-do went really well. St Johnstone won some kind of cup and there was a pitch invasion by the fans. Peachy!

To combat my off-camera flash problem I decided to invest a massive £20 in some equipment that attaches to the hotshoe and the flashgun to wirelessly trigger the thing. For the price it's pretty awesome - the 'real' ones are £300 as they incorporate the TTL metering from the lens. What use that is if the flash aint anywhere near the lens is beyond me.

Got my ex-bosses, son's wedding coming up soon and I am meeting the couple on Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Blues Brothers

Rather conveniently, we went to see the blues band "Radiotones" play at the Twa Tams last night. Tomorrow we are on a stag-do which has a Blues Brothers theme - scary huh?

This shot was taken with off camera flash. The D200 uses it's built-in flash to remotely trigger the SB800 flashgun, allowing you to get some funky lighting effects,

Unfortunately the on-board flash has an awful habit of lighting up the scene as well, so a hand over the camera flash is needed. I'm looking into some kind of remote trigger to go on the hotshoe instead,
