haunted barn!
Yay for learning to use my flash when I needed it! I was in a haunted house to do a shoot for the PS and had my tripod, a flash I gotta use on manual cuz TTL doesn't work with my camera and my camera. (camera with a broken back screen so I can't chimp and see if my exposure is off) Before yesterday every time I shot without being able to look at it (back in the film days... freshmen year) I came up with either blank frames, or extremely blown out stuff... So yay! Yay for surving as if I was still using film! Happy halloween!
