Shopping ~ Hospital Visit ~ Eating
A New Flash for My Camera!
This morning we had an entire Saturday before us, without any appointments. Cerwin needed to go to Home Depot for some items for the chapel, and asked if I wanted to do that today, then visit Ted (one of his key construction volunteers) in the hospital. It sounded good to me!
Then he surprised me and asked if I wanted to go to The Photographer’s Corner for a flash for my camera. (My birthday is coming up.) That sounded REALLY good.
After purchasing the flash and getting the items at Home Depot, we visited Ted, who had heart surgery on Wednesday. Keep him in your prayers. He doesn’t look quite as good as he did when I took the above photo. He is still in pretty much pain and will probably be in the hospital a few more days.
After our short hospital visit, we went to Chili’s. It was the middle of the afternoon ~ so I am not sure if it was lunch or supper. Actually it was a combination of both.
In case you are checking up on me. I did choose a healthy meal. 
I could hardly wait to get home, put batteries in my new Nikon SB-600 flash, and experiment.
Now I can take mirror photos ~ because I can aim the flash toward the ceiling.
Look at the difference. The left one was a straight-on flash. For the picture on the right, I aimed the flash toward the ceiling.

Then I experimented with the bird feeders.
I took several – through a window – and was not keeping record of what I was doing with the flash, but liked these two pictures.
I really liked this one. You can even see the tiny feathers under its beak!
