Money to Spend

[SnappingShark]

Got 300 bucks coming for winning Fantasy Football.
Won 70 bucks in a walking challenge at work.
got 250 in my pocket spare that I can spend.

so I have $620 I can spend.

Now, I need help.

Tattoo of American Eagle with Flag wrapped around it (but the English flag, because I'm English and my wife is American).
or
Photographic equipment, and what?

I am torn, yet I don't want this burning away and being wasted on take-out etc

How's your off camera flash set up?

 

[SnappingShark]

I have 1 speedlight (SB-700) - It seems to do the trick for now, although I was thinking of a couple of extra so I could do more inside my own home.

...can't just bury it for a rainy day?

 

[Bo4key]

I was thinking some triggers maybe and another speedlight. It could also be because I'm really interested in taking my own photography in that direction

 

[JacaRanda]

You could burn it in my pocket (hint hint hint). If you do speedlights, go Yongnuo. That cash will go further.

....ah,just get some spinner hubcaps!!!!

You could buy me the Med. format film camera I'm stalking on ebay.... just a thought, lol.
Otherwise, I'd buy a couple YN flashes, a few light stands and modifiers (softboxes or umbrellas) and maybe a roll of seamless paper.

WORD!

 

[SnappingShark]

Haha nobody for the tattoo then so far!

Looks like lighting setup is the leading contender.

OR ..... Just throwing this in there - model railway & village so I can do tilt/shift stuff with little people haha

 

[JustJazzie]

Add another vote for flash gear! I wish I would have invested in good lighting ages ago!

As much as I wanna push you to buy a Hassie (I can't help it, I'm obsessed), the model railroad idea is particularly awesome. Tilt/shift with that would be ridiculously awesome.

I just sent you a PM. Maybe we can talk or get together and talk gear.
