Nothing like fixing photography gear and buying children at church…
So I have two SB600 speedlights. Unfortunately, I dropped one a while ago and broke the flash tube. Well, $25 later on ebay and voila, a new flash tube arrived in the mail.
Now being half azn, I should excel at photography AND… soldering, right? lol.
Here’s a middle of working shot (thanks to directions on http://photorojo.blogspot.com/2009/05/diy-nikon-sb-600-speedlight-flash-tube.html )
There’s me draining the capacitor with a multimeter.
Unfortunately, after the first test, I forgot to drain the capacitor when I resoldered one side of the flash tube. I was lucky that I only got blinded when the flash popped. Screw driver in one hand and 700*+ soldering iron in the other. *whew*.
Test shot after reassembly:
Yay! Both SBs at 1/64 working great! (with wireless yongnuo RF602s of course!)
Oh, and we had a guest speaker with M_____ on Missions (I can’t remember the first word!!) and some friends decided to get a kid! (So did my fiance!)
Tiff and dave are the couple on the left talking about a kid.
So yes, good weekend of fun times. 
Goodnight all!!
Where are the posts!? What did Wally do this weekend!?
xD
So yes, faithful two readers of mine lol. My weekend involved a photoshoot in DC by @DCPortraits, a gig playing with my band for my friend Dan Houtz’s ThynkVocally project AND finishing up the church worship pictures lol.
Would you like to see examples of all of this work!?
My brother (@DCPortraits) and his lady!!
My brother and my fiance looking at me like I'm retarded lol
Some weirdness in Dupont circle?
And a shot in the metro... par for the photographer's course, no?
Out of DC and on to the gig!!
Dan ThynkVocally Houtz rockin' out!
Focus on my drummer...
Focus on my crackheaded fifteen year old bassist next to his gf
One of the "Uncle Moldy's House of Socks" members
Tiff and Dave looking super excited... lol
That’s it!!! I’m not posting any more worship session shots, you got the idea from the last eighty posts lol.
Enjoy and goodnight all!!!
Last trip to OC for 2010
Hi all 
Today, Mollie and I visited OCMD one last time before the end of the summer (and more importantly before Mollie starts all her college classes). Definitely had a good time.
Stopped and saw the Jesus sand sculptures from Son Spot.
I didn't clone out the light above Jesus to show the irony of man using a light to light up THE light 
Mollie got on the sling shot with a total stranger named Cayla (even paid for her since they don’t allow single riders?!???).
Then we hit up Hoopers for delicious crabs and headed back to reality. Ahhhhh. Life is good.
Oh snap! Did I totally mention that I got video of Mollie and Cayla on the sling shot?? xD
(and a new on camera video)
Mollie and Tiff model shots… DONE!!!
Hi y’all! Er… Hi all!!!
Guess who’s done editing the handful of shots that he took this weekend!? I AM!!! The only weirdo photographer who doesn’t batch edit and spends time on each individual photograph…
From the handful of wedding dress shots...
Mollie doing her thing
Tinkerbe-, I mean Tiff, doing her thing
Tiff in a chair
Oh, the porch!
Here’s the link to the whole set: FlickR link for Mollie and Tiff (set)
I’ve got another friend who shoots photography that I’d like to mention in my bloggaroo so hopefully she responds back to my email to repost some of her work
Good night stalkers!!!
Two more from the Mollie/Tiff shoot
Here are two more from the shoot. I think my next couple posts will be from this shoot. I should be done editing them this week so a new project and new content are soon to follow!! (And I’m ordering my 24-70 this week!!!!!!)
Mollie looking spicy!
Tiff lookin' preppy!
Something about this shot screams "I'm a model!"
Enjoy all
Mollie and Tiff shoot…
… went really well! I set up my main on a 24″ softbox, my secondary on a 9″ soft box (though it makes me want to buy a strip), and my hair light up with a 15* snoot. Fun times!! Here’s a shot that I quickly edited so I have something to blog lol. The rest is coming soon!
Mollie and Tiff
I can’t wait to edit the rest!!
The Fiancés Birthday Party
Here are the latest edited shots from Mollie’s birthday party!! Unfortunately, I had to eat during the party which meant? A huge chunk of potentially mind blowing pictures NOT taken due to some Chianti braised short ribs!! (bangin’ by the way!)
Here she is with family members and a stolen gutamalen baby
Here are some more family members and the aleged parents of said gutamalen baby
The fiance with some ladiez
There are too many things that I can't explain in this picture
Future MIL and SFIL with the fiance
Fiance with more ladiezez
Yes, the whole back room
Um, it's not that serious, eh?
Spacin'?
I hope you enjoyed the pictures!!
SUPER Busy weekend
Two birthday party shoots and one impromptu ministry group shoot. *whew!!*
Here’s a quick edit from my fiance’s birthday party at olive gardens. Couple of friends and family members showed
Mollie's birthday party extravaganza at O. Gardens
I know these three sets will be fun to edit (since I actually know a lot of the people in them).
Sorry for the short post but you DID get a picture, eh? I might even make a video tomorrow!!
A new shot of the fiancé… right before I dropped my flash >.<
So HERE is a new pic of Mollie:
Mollie with red hair!
I totally dig her new red hair. It’s very different from her normal brunette self. It’s almost like meeting a new hot stranger lol.
I took this shot right before I dropped my SB600 on the ground rushing to get into my car 
Looks like $30 for a new flash bulb replacement and me soldering in a new one. I’ll try to remember to take pics for reference (and macro practice lol)
