Cowboy Studio remote trigger

I finally got around to trying out the Cowboy Studio NPT-04 remote flash trigger. Here are some photos I took. I set my flash (Canon 430EX II) to manual mode and tried different flash output levels. I used the diffuser panel on some of them. All in all I think the NPT-04 does a good job.



I plan on shooting some more when I get a chance.

Trees in fog

I woke up this morning and noticed how foggy it was. I thought the trees looked kinda neat in the fog. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots.

Macro Lens

I stopped by my camera store yesterday after work. I bought a UV Filter for my Canon 50mm lens. I also put a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens on layaway. Here is a photo I took with it.

Photos

Here are some photos I took a few days ago when I was playing with my Canon Rebel T2i DSLR camera.


I shot these Photos of ice crystals on our front window of our entry. I thought they looked kinda neat.
Exposure Info: ISO: 100; Shutter Speed: 1/320; Lens: Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6; Mode: Creative Auto.

These 2 photos were taken thru our living room window into the back yard. I was just experimenting with the exposure.

Wireless slave trigger

I ordered a wireless remote flash trigger from Amazon the other day. I got the Cowboy Studio NPT-04 4 channel unit.
It came today, now all I need to do is figure out how to use it. Here is a picture of it. I was hoping it came with at least 2 recievers. Guess I should have looked more closely at the ad.

About Me

I have been interested in photography for a long time. I used to have 3 Pentex SLR camera's with all the goodies. When they came out with the Digital SLR camera's I decided to get one. I liked being able to see the photos I took right away, which was a disadvantage with my other camera's.
I will be posting photos I have taken here as well as other things. If you have any questions just drop me a line.
