New Cheap Chinese Pocketwizards

Well got some new cheap chinese pocketwizards to do some off-camera flash work, and just as I am praising the good people of China for making such a valuable and much-needed device, the thing breaks. I'll have to get a tiny screwdriver, crack it open and fix it, or send it back. Anyways here are the efforts of the day with the new toys:

Up high in the sky, Ferries, and Stanley Park

Well Saturday was a busy day. After doing a job shadow with Darren Stone of the T-C on Friday afternoon, I woke up at 7 am to get out to Victoria International Airport to take a ride in a Cessna over to the mainland and back. It was a great flight. After that, we took the ferry back to Tsawwassen, and went into Stanley Park for a walk. Took a few hundred photos on the day, and here are some of them:
