    Testing new 64" parabolic umbrella - Comments welcome!

    Just fooling around... did a self portrait with my remote (you can see it in my hand). Testing a 64" Silver Parabolic (Flashpoint). Comments welcome!

    Nice, next time set it to 2 sec delay so you have time to hide the remote. I can do that on my 5D2, I'm sure you can do the same on D7000

    Maybe so, but then you were blunt ended with the devilishly-handsome stick. And be thankful, you could have been beaten with the stupid stick (or had the g@y stick rammed up your *** jk jk)

    Depending on who you talk to.. there are many who think the STOOPID stick is a distinct possibility!

    Great pic with your cat.I agree with Schewettylens that you must set up your camera so you can hide what you want to hide.And definitely it will look great.
