But at least you still have your last dollar for the diffuser................... :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
 

Wow, Nice series ah...
 

Nice series!
 

Nice set NJ. The apparent light size from your DIY Diffuser seems very small judging from the catchlight in the JS's eyes.
 

Wah! u catch so many in one day? All good shots.

Thanks bro! The first hour there was almost no subjects, they only came out when I am about to leave SBG :sweat:.

Nice series!

Nice series, bro! Important is to enjoy the new toy :) Payday is coming soon, no worries.

Thanks bro! Yep, I enjoy my new toy. Now using Ang Bao money to suffice till payday. :sweatsm:
