Hardwood floor nuisance + flash for the wedding

Finally the other day we finished installing the hardwood floor in the house. I am personally not a huge fan of emptying my room of absolutely everything, storing it in the basement and then sleeping in a very dusty place during the few days this summer when the weather is too cold to sleep with an open window.

Well, all these being over with, here's the comparison:

Also as I have a wedding shoot this saturday, I got myself a large flash for my camera. As all wise people I know that a big flash doesn't make you a great photographer ...BUT, a big flash will definitely make it clear, even to the most ignorant, that you are one. Also it helps getting one out of tricky low light situations where even cranking up the ISO and putting up with evil photographic noise won't help much. So here it is, the Nikon Speedlight SB600, the pride and joy of Nikon corporation.

And here is a photo taken with it of my friend Marko who is the actual owner of the flash and kindly let me borrow it for the occasion! Marko is a photographer himself, but having more or less dedicated himself to photo-journalism ...let's just say it is not easy to get a smile out of him sometimes. Luckily he is quite on the photogenic side of the people spectrum.
