today I read a new article at one of my favorite sites, strobist.com. Vivitar just introduced a cheap all manual flash which I promptly ordered.

I want to try to work with several flashes since a long time, specially related to macro stuff. But i just refuse to pay 320$ for a Nikon flash which would allow me todo this...

...so i paid 80$ for the vivitar which does the same and just looks ugly and is 100% manual. So i gonna learn something and don't have to toy with this fancy i-ttl from nikon. I use the i-ttl with my nikon SB-600 which is nice but not really needed.

now it just needs 7 - 8 days till its delivered. So I gonna play with it at the weekend afterward. I also ordered some color filter samples which where free of charge (0.01$)

to the left is a picture taken with my 50mm f/1.8 lens of ceasars palace. Like always its not straight. Some day I will invest 20$ for a bubble level...
