More New Stuff

I received a gift certificate with limited trade-in selection online; after browsing a bit I chose overstock as my recipient. For a while I considered another Rokinon 2AA bounce flash, which I believe I bought for my Sony via gift certificate.. but I knew how little use it got so I reconsidered & looked around a bit more.
I finally settled on a tripod that can spread itself wide enough for macro imagery and low-to-ground perspective shots, something I'll get more use from. I could not find anything online about Bell/Howell Xplor tripods, other than shopping sites.. so we shall see just what it can do. I also grabbed the $8 charger for the LI-90 battery, which includes a car-charger cord; that could prove vital on a long trip!
