I currently have in my possession a 580EX flash to accompany my 580EX II as I contemplate buying it. I originally wanted to purchase a set of Elinchrom Skyports to get my flash off camera and I still may do that, but I really am enjoying the Canon wireless flash system. Some of the benefits to it are the e-TTL, which I'm not using much, and high-speed shutter sync, which I have used. It didn't take long to figure out how to control the 580EX as a slave to my 580EX II master.
The following is a result of my playing around with a toy my mom bought me for Christmas a few years ago. Yes, I'm 32 years old and yes, I still ask my mom for toys like this for Christmas! I thought it only fitting that I incorporate some Christmas lights in the photos of a Christmas present around Christmas time!
The lights in the background are supposed to be star shaped. Unfortunately, the star I cut out of a piece of foam craft paper didn't work out too well. I'll have to try again with card stock. If you want to know what I did, check out this link.
Have a Merry Christmas! And don't forget the Reason for the Season!

Hi, nice to see a new post:) Looks like none of us have to come up with excuses. (I actually was so inspired by the fairy dust entry that I wrote a new one today. Wow:))
I like you mother. She clearly understand that the physical age differs from the mental one. I've wanted this kind of toy myself, but haven't dared to buy one yet.
BTW, I love the contrast. An scary robo raptor accompanied by hearts. Very cute. I'm looking forward to see your next attempts with shaped bokeh/vignetting (or whatever critics like to call it). Good luck.
John its looking very cool! Even if the lights did not come out as stars in the background, I still think it added a cool effect in separating the dinosaur from the background. Very cool!!

Interesting background.
Me. :P
The background lights really make the shots work.
