Flash - Light Day 2

I went on a little field trip this weekend and bought this: My very first flash! It's a Nissin Di466. Nissin makes the internal parts for Canon and Nikon digital flashes, which Canon and Nikon throw their plastic over. So, they decided to start selling their own equipment. At least, this is what Sean, at the camera store, told me.

It's pretty nifty, especially since the built-in flash on the Canon 20D always yields a shadow on the bottom third of my pictures. It also has a slave function so that if I set it to the side, as I did when photographing Owlie above, and use the built-in flash, it'll go as well. I predict much fun and excitement with this new toy in the near future. I'm going to carve out some time later this week to read through the instruction manual and see what my new baby can do. It is the most basic quality model they had at the store, but for me, it's a perfect start.
