new stuff - 50mm & flash

Yeah..I've upgraded.
BUT..it didn't really cost me anything :)
That's because I sold my 75-300mm super long telephoto lens. It was fun to use, but image quality was horrible most of the time...
The 50mm was only $80 off Amazon, and I love it.
Dunno if ya'll noticed, but all my recent pictures have much more bokeh (background blur) due to me using the 50mm prime only.

Taken in a pitch black room at night w/ the flash below...
EDIT: 50mm lens SOLD

Canon Speedlite 430EX

This was actually free. Long story... Still trying to figure out how to use it... Bounce flash is really useful indoors though :)

EDIT: FLASH SOLD
