Hoodsport 2005 Cab-Sauv
I always enjoy wine from the Hoodsport Winery. It's one of my secret finds. They offer great case prices so I pick up two or three cases when I'm there.
This particular bottle had a little too much tannin for my tastes-- that didn't stop me from drinking two thirds of it.
Now, if I could control the flair from the flashes, this would be a great photo.

Lake Washington
We tried to spend an afternoon at Seward Park-- it started raining hard so we left early.
This photo shows the lake from the Park all the way to Renton.

I am suprized how much a flash can completely transform lighting. A flash is very brief and very bright. For one one thousand of a second it is as bright than the sun. Room lights don't register at that speed.
Armed with this knowledge, you can use a flash as more than another light. Set the camera to high speed and the image is all flash. Lower speed-- your image is a combination of flash and ambiant.
