but aside from that my parents got me a real backround stand to replace the closit rod contraption i have going on lol along with it a nice baby blue paper packround, my parents overdid it this year but also buying me my first small light set-up, i didnt ask for anything and they thought of this one on there own i was kinda blown away when i unwraped my gifts, it touched me more to know that they have an intrist in what im doing and can see my passion for photograpy i already had one flash and now i have some contiunious to go with it so i cant wait to get it all set up and start shooting, along with that my good friends and family got me a 1yr magizine subcription and gift cards to the place of all places....... chucke-cheese!!!yay!!no just playing even tho that have some good pizza! but no other better place then (Nycv) our local camera store. i cant wait to see what this next year will bring with photography for me and you guys!
Happy Holidays!!
nothing digital, lol...I got a Holga 120N film camera and a Lomography Fisheye 2 35mm. They will be fun to use in my film classes. I also got 4 rolls of film (2 35mm, 2 120s). I'm also pretty sure that I'm going to get Lightroom 2.0 as well because my mom said something about another gift coming in the mail and my stepdad let it slip that it was software...plus it was on my list, so fingers crossed! I really hope I get it because that's what I've been learning to use in my digital class and once I come home I can't work on anything further until the next week.
Well, rented it for a shoot yesterday that they bailed out on at the last minute and now get
to return it on Friday to the tune of $30 for the pleasure of being able to hold it for the day.
*mumble*
Oh well, was better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it....
I did actually only get one thing this year and came a couple of days ago.
It is a Thank You card from the Grandson of one of my customers. His Grandpa brought me a tire off his bicycle
that had a small puncture from a rose thorn (was actually two punctures) I plugged the tire and per my
usual, laughed at his offer to pay me. The payment came in the mail a few days ago:
Mom sent some Starbucks Christmas blend (bless her heart!),
And I made cinnamon rolls to go with my coffee. :-)
Hey - another 'Christmas blend' fan ! I love the stuff and am just trying to grab some bags to stock up before it disappears again. . . warm cinnamon folls should be perfect with that :- )
[quote=bobonacus] Hazel made me a grid converter from cardboard and straws. It goes over my speedlight to give a spot light effect, I think it is awesome :)
The grid converter is very cool. How long are the straws, about 3 inches or so?
I got a wireless remote...totally cool cause I got tired of running back and forth to the camera when the wife and I are doing pictures...get your head out of the gutter, not those types of pictures, ya perv. (by the way, I have two triggers for an old canon if anyone wants them. They are the type that screws in and you press the top down to take the picture. Both work really well but I have no use for them and they came with some other free gear...actually all the old canon 35mm gear can go to someone...pm me)
I also got a "lally Cap" . I've only tried it inside so far and it really takes a lot of red out, not sure if that is a good thing or not, still playing with it.
I got a new set of (3) stobes, a wireless remote, set of gels, reflectors, two umbrellas, a soft box, three stands...and a partridge in a pear tree! Happy Holidays All!
