I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to finally be the happy owner of a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight. I have had my DSLR camera, the Nikon D40x, and its close relative, the Nikon D40, from June until September. I have been lusting after an external flash for quite a long time!

So, the flash is finally here. I purchased it this afternoon, around 3:15pm. It’s now 9:15pm. I mention times because here I am, with a sexy flash in my possession, and I haven’t even opened it yet! But, real life responsibilities to my children and home come first, so play time will have to wait until a little later…

9:14pm
