HS25 Review – Part 1 – The Arrival

The F770EXR is all packed up and waiting for pickup by FedEx. It was supposed to go out today, and indeed I spent 5 minutes chatting with the driver, who gave me a blank waybill and asked what my account number was.

Joe McNally comes to Ottawa!

And I can’t go to see his seminar. I love off board lighting, and there is simply nothing like watching a legend do his stuff. The price is right at 100 bucks, and Joe is actually coming to my home city, and then two other cities that are in easy driving distance. But I am on vacation and unavailable for all three dates.
