I finally got the time to shoot some pictures in the lab and like always I'm surprised how much I like my macro lens and my ultra wide angle.

For example the picture on the left was shot at 10mm with a SB-600 Flash + Blue Gel from the left and the onboard flash to highlight the microscope.

The second picture is a part of an Agilent auto sampler and uses an orange filter in front of the SB-600.

To say it short I really start to make progress with my flash photographies since I got the D80, it's just wonderful to have a wireless flash.


Tonight we are going to go out for sushi, again, to celebrate the good bye of Mercedeh, which is leaving tomorrow.

By the way both pictures are more or less straight out of the camera. I just applied some curve management.
