Another great shot. I'm curious - what type of film are you using?

No I used it at 3200. That's its native ISO rating. Has a bit more grain and contrast than 1600 ISO film.

Oooooo.....Fire. I see charred wood on the right. Is there a lot of that around the place? That may be an indication of why they closed.

Surprisingly there isn't as much as one would expect and that's probably because this place is 90% concrete and steel. No they closed because they moved south where labor and taxes were 1/3 of what it was in New York. I'm not sure which southern state they moved to yet. For some reason I think South Carolina or Georgia.

Sounds like every other business. Only when labor and taxes get to high here, they move to Mexico.

oh boy i'll make sure you know when you're licked all over!
btw can i ask you something random? my company's flash suddenly not working while i was using it (i swear i didn't lick it!). it was the TTL function that's not talking to the camera, but when i use the manual mode, it works. so mr, any idea what could have gone bonkers?

Hmmm it seems odd to me that it would work in manual mode and not in the others. I suspect the camera settings. I think on Spot Metering it won't go TTL or repeating mode. I have never had this problem. I have burned out the capacitors by shooting too many images rapidly without giving the head time to cool off...but nothing like you are experiencing. And fried capacitors would result in no flash at all. Take the flash off the camera. With a pencil eraser clean the contact on the cameras hot shoe and the foot of the flash as well. Double check that you have set the correct mode on camera and the flash. If you are using an off camera sync cord..that cord could be faulty. Good luck..and let me know if anything works or if you find out what is causing this so I learn with you.

well Rich, i think you're gonna scream at me if i were to tell you what happen to the flash...haha...it was due to my stupid mistake. i felt like a fool, seriously! so yeah, nothing really happen to the flash, just some setting gone wrong accidentally. i'm not used to nikon's interface, there's like a lot of hidden things. in canon, they show everything on the screen like the ISO, exposure...whereas the nikon i was using you have to press this button to show you, for instance, the ISO. i apparently accidentally dialed...something without realizing it haha...not gonna reveal that to you coz i think it's just plain stupid!
sorry for the misunderstanding Rich, but i do learn sth from you though that the capacitors can be burned due to constant firing haha...i'll take note of that. i tend to shoot continuously, coz i like the sound

Exactly as I told you...check settings. I didn't know it was a Nikon flash. Which one?
