Mason General Candy Cane Carnival

I photographed a charity event sponsored by Mason General Hospital.  I was not the Santa photographer but I took a couple of Santa pictures from the side anyway.  I broke my Nikon SB600 external flash and I had to buy a new flash, this was my first job with my new flash, it is a Yangnuo YN-568EX.

  It is a slight upgrade as it has high speed sync, a built in bounce card and a faster recharge time.  It cost a lot less than a comparable Nikon flash and so far it seems well built.  I also paid Nikon $118 to repair my SB600.  I had the SB fixed because it is smaller and lighter and that makes it better for hiking.
