Flash-happy

Too long have I gone without the flash. Too long have I spent trying to capture the perfect shot, only to be foiled by motion blur. Too many moments have I missed in these last 8 weeks. Too many photos that could have been, if only I could get my shutter speed fast enough.

But no more.

Yesterday, I attempted the flash but to no avail. Nevertheless, I pressed forward completely undaunted, and have obtained the prize:

Well-lit photos despite the lighting dungeon that is my house.

Yes, today has been a beautiful day so far, and I have the pictures to prove it.

Ohhh, the ears!!

He's been sleeping a lot lately. I'm thinking 'growth spurt.'

The adorable 0-6 mos. Robeez that are just about too small for him. At less than 2 months.

And the newly-groomed Pippin, showing off his drinking-from-the-bathroom-faucet skillz. I'm in love with the motion-capture shown in this picture. Thank heavens for flash.

So I really have no idea what took me so long to try the flash. I was pretty sure it'd be terribly difficult and a frenemy relationship would ensue, but if things keep going as they are, this could turn into a beautiful, lifelong friendship. Or just one of those one-sided, disgusting adoration things where I idolize the flash and am constantly trying to figure it out, and it couldn't care less about me.

But at this point, I'm too flash-happy to care!
