Didn't realize it was still on when I put it in my pocket for 2 hours. Pulling it out of the pocket jammed the lens so it will no longer focus.

I finally have my own flash setup. A Sunpak MZ440-CA on a light stand with a hot shoe. Triggering the flash through a set of PocketWizards.

I had a couple days to play with it before going over to a friend's to do portraits of his kids.

Yesterday was another Athens, GA Strobists meet. Like the previous meets, there was lots of talk about camera capabilities, radio trigger capabilities, working the camera within the flash synchronization speed, etc.

I did stand in for some shots while we waited on actual models to show up. I think I'll stick to behind the camera.

Caught this one when Katie's friend, Sara, said something to make Katie laugh.

As this was mostly at night, my Canon wasn't focusing, so I shot in manual. While the light was right, most were out of focus. Suggestions?

Yesterday I met with some other Flickrites to check out the Bostwick Cotton Gin Festival. There were easily a couple thousand people there, which is impressive for a town of 354.

(The photos I've posted so far at writing this post are just of Bostwick. Estimate I'll end up posting another dozen before I'm done.)

We didn't stay for the parade, but instead ventured over to the Nolan House (Evan's awesome photo of the house). There were some donkeys and mules next to an old store. Then we stopped at Rutledge, a fertilizer factory in Newborn, and Mansfield. It was a fun, productive day.
