Canon’s new 470EX-AI flash may be just the right solution

Canon 470EX AI Flash

Miggo Pictar Plus iPhone camera grip review

miggo pictarplus review 1

I fashion myself as somewhat of an amateur photographer. I’ve been fascinated with photography ever since I took Mr. Bunton’s “Intro to Photography” class way back in the ninth grade.

I’ve been a gamer for years, though in the past few months I have taken it more seriously by tweaking my mouse sensitivity, which required me to get a bigger mouse pad.
