There are times when you really have to play around with the kit that you have bought. Sometimes, things come off other times not. I'm mostly happy with these, I've been meaning for a while to really start playing with my flash ala http://strobist.blogspot.com/ style. At the same time I wanted to use the Mamiya. That was scary flash and film. I needed to test the 135mm lens too, and this is what came out. Thanks to the instructions and information on strobist, things came out kinda well. Some technical issues, but I'm happy. More to come soon.

So we spent another weekend climbing. This time the rain didn't get us but the wind did. It was mighty windy, gale force in fact. Still it was fun to be able to climb outside again. It's nothing like being in the gym, the only way I can describe it is that it feels real.
The realness of it all came back when Rob feel a millisecond after the above photo was taken. By the time the shutter went, he was dangling in mid air. I didn't even see the fall. Just like that acceleration due to gravity occurs. It's amazing how quick you fall when you fall. Not that I've fallen leading... yet...
Someday I will fall. Knowing I'll have good belayers when I'm leading, this doesn't bother me. When it comes, not having to worry about that part makes a difference.
