142/365. Everybody look at me 'cuz I'm sailin' on a boat ~ Saturday Night Live
(view it large! so worth it!)

As part of our anniversary weekend, Erin and I went on a boat cruise. We waited, waited, and waited long enough... and the infamous pink skies never came. But I was determined to get a photo anyway simply for the plain fact that we were on a boat!

Funny story though, we almost had a near strobe death experience. Apparently I didn't tighten the flash as much as I should have, and it fell right off the adapter and 'almost' into the ocean! The batteries did spill and we lost one of the AA rechargables (we are now awful tree huggers). But as usual, I always carry extra batteries in the SB-900 case (I love these cases!!).

Anyway, enough with this sappy story, I have wine and cheese that must be eaten — you strobo junkies, do your thing.

setup, camera, strobist info: see here. Thanks to this gal for holding the light
