The “L” Word

Well, I got lucky last week.  I decided to poke around eBay for some photo gear I’ve been looking for, and came across one auction that was pretty much everything I needed.  When all was said and done, I ended up winning the auction.  And today FedEx delivered the box from Wisconsin.  At nearly the same time, UPS delivered a box from B&H Photo with the one part missing from the stuff I got from eBay.  So tonight, I headed out to the NECR’s Willimantic yard to shoot a photo of one lonely car sitting in the yard.  Yep, I said night and photo…

If you haven’t guessed yet, I came across a great deal on a Lumedyne setup – large battery, charger, 200WS fast pack and head (less than $400 shipped to me!).  Only thing missing was the flash tube, which is what came from B&H.  Sure, it’s small at 200WS, but it did quite well.  And with the Lumedynes, I can get a booster pack, which will add 400WS to the mix, giving me a total of 600WS!  That’ll come in time…but for now, I’ve got my own little night shooting setup…  So here’s the first shot with the kit.

Not the greatest, but hey, not much to work with tonight…

Thanks for looking!
