currently I really start to consider buying an umbrella and light stand to improve my portraits.

cost for umbrella system:

- umbrella 15$
- clamp 15$
- light stand 30$

which tops out at 60$ in total which is not to bad, but on the other hand I decided to not buy any stuff this month except some gaffer's tape. I need this to build some lightning mods like you can find here. But I still try to figure out why black duct tape doesn't do the job, I mean I can't find anywhere this gaffer tape.

oh I manage to sell my vivitar flash, I should have gotten an SB-600 in the first place now I have only one flash again and will some day find the cash for a second SB-600, only 90$ to go.

maybe I overdo it a tiny bit...


...but the list of stuff I want to have get's short and shorter, why does everybody I know has to use canon :(
