It’s just me. I’ve got a new Canon 430 ex II flash. Thought I’d test it under different lighting conditions and such. So far, I love it. I can’t say the same about those who’ve fallen victim to the light’s flash. While amusing, I do feel bad for flashing a few people with it.

This could have been one of them, however, reports from venders claims that nobody was purchasing the goods which were up for sale and most of those who paid to sell lost money. That’s too bad.
