Happy Holidays!

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and also an awesome 2011. This is our mini Christmas tree. I recently picked up the Yonguo Remote Flash trigger (~$30). The flash is behind the tree reflecting against the blinds. It is probably a bit too strong, but I realized later that you can dial down the power of your flash. Most external flashes in Manual mode have the ability to change the strength of your flashes (Eg. 1/2 to 1/64th)
