Borrowed a friend's Speedlite 430EX II for a few weeks, playing around with bouncing light etc. Getting the results I wanted was a little bit harder than I thought but I'm OK with how this shot came out. Still, think I'll stick to fast glass and/or cranking up the ISO for the time being though.
Oh and for anyone interested, the item in the photo is a Krell KSA-50 Amplifier.

PS Audio PerfectWave I2 Squared, Silver Conductors .5M approximately 20" long.
Current model Silver Top of the Line Reference HDMI Cable perfect for the P.S. Audio Perfect Wave Transport and DAC or any high quality HDMI link like Video monitors.
Reprinted from PS Audio Web Site:
Used as a digital interconnect, the PerfectWave I2S cables provide stunning performance between either the PerfectWave Transport, or the upcoming Digital Lens and the PerfectWave DAC. For best results, use the solid silver I2S12 in your digital audio or high-end video setup.
The more affordable I2S10 is also an outstanding performer, better than any high-end HDMI cable we have ever auditioned. Why compromise when you can have the best from PS Audio.
In the PerfectWave series, the best way to get the digital audio data between the PerfectWave Transport and the PerfectWave DAC is through I2S . Using the perfect cable to transfer the data is critical, and the new PerfectWave I2S series has been designed specifically to handle these sensitive signals.
I2S data is the standard jitter free data inside all CD transports and all DACS and CD players. Instead of converting the I2S data into a form that can pass through a single cable (a system called S/PDIF ), I2S data requires multiple conductors so the 3 clocks and the separate digital audio signals can pass through a single multi-conductor cable. Our research has shown that currently there are no better options than a well designed HDMI cable. HDMI cables have the perfect number of conductors for transferring both video and digital audio and for this reason, we chose the HDMI cable for our unique I2S interface between PerferctWave products.
It's not an easy task
To be an effective transmission medium, all clock and data timing paths must be meticulously maintained or the many advantages of I2S data transfer can be compromised. The new PS Audio I2S HDMI digital interface cables are specifically designed to maintain timing and waveform integrity up to 2 meters for I2S and over 50 feet for video applications (although currently we only manufacture up to 2 meters).
The PerfectWave I2S series of cables can handle clock rates to 340mHz, or 10gB per second data rate, which is significantly higher than the clock rates used in even high resolution digital audio.
Some of the key factors in maintaining excellent clock timing and waveform accuracy involve both materials, wire gauges, insulation types, shielding and construction.
Materials in this series are either 6% silver plated PCOCC (Single Crystal High Purity copper) or solid silver conductors. The vast majority of high-performance HDMI cables rely on silver plating over copper for their conductors. Even in PS Audio's I2S10, which is our affordable HDMI cable, we use 6% silver plating but we don't rely on simple ordinary copper. Instead we use the precious benefits of PCOCC single crystal copper , which helps the HDMI performance of both video as well as I2S in a way other cables don't even approach.
The I2S12, however, takes this one major step further buy using solid silver conductors for all 19 of the paths. There is not a higher end, better performing HDMI cable in the world than the solid silver I2S12 made by PS Audio. Currently it outperforms any HDMI compliant interconnect ever made. If you want the very finest in performance for either I2S connection or video, the the I2S12 is the way to go.
Between each of the 19 conductors in an HDMI cable you'll find a layer of insulation. This layer is critical to the cable's performance because insulation acts as a dielectric which can store energy of both the clocks and the digital audio or video signals. Storing energy is NOT what we want to do so great efforts have been made to use materials that have as little effect on the signals as possible. For this task, the engineers at PS Audio have chosen nitrogen injected skin-foam-skin for the dielectric . Currently, polythelyne skin-foam-skin is the best dielectric known for high speed digital transmissions and helps maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance between conductors even when the cable is bent.
Electrical interefence from outside radiated sources is a big issue to deal with in digital signal transmission and the better the shielding to keep these noises out, the better and cleaner the performance of the cables. In the new PerfectWave I2S HDMI series, we use triple shielding on both the I2S10 and I2S12 series. Triple shielding provides substantial noise reduction in high frequency interference. Video is nearly noise free and stunning in its clarity and threee dimensionality.
This is the cable to get
Regardless of whether you need the world's best I2S digital interface between perfectWave products or the world's best video interconnect, the PS Audio I2S HDMI series is currently unmatched by any cable in the world. If you want the best, at a high-value low price, go with PS.

These AZ-Two speakers replaced my Audio Note AX-One speakers several months ago. I love the AX-1s. In particular, the vocal coming out from these lowest end of Audio Note line up is unbeatable. I have never heard female vocal is so beautifully reproduced through these tiny AX-1 speakers. However, since I listen to many types of music, including rock and hard bop jazz, the Absolute Zero-Two speakers with 93 db have replaced the AX-1s. It's been several months now, and it’s been burned in about 200 hours more or less. So, it’s time to write some impression on these black ash speakers. These speakers are very ugly looking. If your wife has some opinion on furniture sets at home, then these boxy looking speakers may be a great challenge for you guys to persuade. It may need a cross of Albert Einstein and George Clooney to persuade your wife to love the look of AZ-Two. When laymen see these speakers, they would think that these are made in Glodok. Or, they might think that these speakers are some school projects from your neighbor’s son. I am not kidding. If there’s some robber breaking into your house and looking at these two black boxes, they would definitely skip these things. In particular, if you do not put the AN labels on, the robber would think that these are made by people in Cikapundung – an electronic market in Bandung.
OK, they are ugly, so how is the sound? Nah, I have not finished yet. Let me finish it. The speakers are boxed with one layer carton boxes. A regular sedan will be hard to carry a couple of these big boxes. After opening the boxes, I took out the AZ-Twos. They are quiet heavy. Even though Audio Note provides good quality spikes inside the boxes, I use Soundcare Super Spikes on these speakers. Now, this is another ugly thing. When I tried to wire them and tighten the binding posts, I realized that the binding posts are so hard to grip. They are really pains in the butt. The binding posts are very high quality indeed, but they are just so awful to tighten. You should use soft towel to help your fingers grip the slippery binding posts. Another point that you should know is that these speakers are not equipped with jumpers. I think bi-wire is in PQ’s mind when he designed these.
After wiring them, I put each of them about 40 cm from the back wall and 50 cm from the side wall. By the way, I power these speakers using 4.8 watt Almarro A205A mkII. I played Just the Two of Us, by Grover Washington, Jr. It was nice, but I felt the sound was boomy. I knew that Audio Note instructed to place the speakers on the corners or close to the back wall. The manual states that the speakers may sound boomy if they are place too far from the walls. Funny, eh? Conventional speakers are the opposite. They will sound boomy if they are placed too close to the walls. So, reluctantly I place them on the corners. Voila! The boomy sound is gone. They sound so wonderful. The bass goes lower and tighter. Now, after about 200 hours burned in, the speakers are flexed a bit, and they produce very musical atmosphere. Rock and fusion jazz are their bread and butter. I love listening Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd. Oh, boy! These AZ-Twos can create picturesque or panoramic 3D stage. The sound stage is very wide. I feel like the sound does not come from those speakers. The source of the different instruments seem coming from certain point locations on stage. The speakers are just gone or hidden. It is excellent. I have never had this experience before. If you bass freak, these black boxes can give you plenty of quality bass. The highs are transparent and smooth, not edgy. This is the type of versatile speakers. They are all-round speakers for all kinds of music. However, if you are vocal fanatics and have mostly vocal jazz or easy listening albums, such as audiophile CDs played in audio shows, I think AX-Ones would be better choices. They are unbeatable in vocal reproduction. AZ-Twos cannot compete with AX-Ones in this area. Moreover, the price of AX-1 is very reasonable. The AX-1’s price is more or less in the range price of popular bookshelf speakers in Indonesia. I believe AX-1s would be the best choice for most two-channel systems. On the other hand, if your CD collections range from hard rock to world music, from mainstream to hard bop jazz, then AZ-Twos should be on your must-listen list. The sonic of AZ-Twos are softer and more likable after 200 hour running. Now, when I listen to Marcus Miller Live album in late night and dark room, it’s like I was there in the same room with Marcus Miller. It is very alive. Another incredible thing I experience with these AZ-2s is when I play Kind of Blue CD (The Definitive Version), by Miles Davis. This must have album was made in heaven, Bill Evans said in the liner notes. They made this recording without actually practicing it first. They learned the notes right before the session. In this album, there are three horns. They are Miles’ trumpet, John Coltrane’s tenor sax, and Cannonball Adderley’s alto sax. Through AZ-Twos, one can pinpoint the exact location and height of each horn on the stage. Amazing! Scary!
Conclusion: The only good thing about AZ-2s is their musical sound.
