Playing with SB-600

i've been itching to find a flash to add to my camera

 arsenal for sometime now. Flash photography is probly one of the most important part of lesson for budding photographers so i'm itching for 1 to "experiment" and learn. 

i finally manage to find a "deal" for SB-600 after some searching , so i waste no time to went to pick it up asap after work !  tried a few test shots and was really "wow" by it.

noticed the sharpness and details off the watch? if i try to attempt w.o the flash unit or use a pop up flash , normally it's a disaster  . 

 

here's another pic with my DS controller

belows are some of my kinda bleh shots of hdb flats hehe

hehe... when i was waking back from sunset broardwalk , i chance up this "kelong"? and the super long reflection from extending down.. cannot miss chance !

there's another photographer doing this shot as well. but he's out at the rocks outside the railings ( plus it's super dark with the next lampost veri far away) humm... i think that i should inculde the railings and jus do a few snaps and adjustments ( no enough light to see camera controls) then i left....

the results are suprisingly good :)
