Tomorrow is the first NCPA event of the season here in the Midwest North conference, so I will be spending all day in Faribault covering the event. It’s going to be held at Xphere Paintball, which I hear is a really nice field. I have never been there myself, so I am looking forward to it. The forecast looks good as well, so I expect to get some awesome photos. Look for them to be online sunday morning if I am quick enough.

In other news, I picked up some new gear this week. It’s not quite as exciting as a new camera or lens, but I think it is pretty neat. I stopped by West Photo and National Camera and got a Bogen light stand, Wescott 43″ folding umbrella, umbrella swivel, and PC sync cords. This means I can now run my Canon 430EX off-camera, and have a lot more control over my lighting. I have been working my way through the archives over at www.strobist.com, picking up all the info I can get. I still plan to get some wireless triggers, 2 more strobes, and a couple more stands and umbrellas to give me more options, but this is a good start.
