Alien bee has arrived - silly question time!

Actually, the pic was done with somebody else's camera and lens. I own the more modest ($380) Canon 85mm f1.8. A little slower, but about 1/4 of the price.

The vagabond is a very nice little unit. A little heavy, but the operative word in lead-acid battery is LEAD. However, it'll shoot for a surprisingly long time as long as you leave the modeling lights off. It's worth the cash if you want to shoot on location.

It's also handy when the power goes out. I've used it to run a lamp, or a small TV or radio rather than just sit in the dark.

I sometimes miss out on the acronyms. Does DOH mean "Department of Health"? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Seriously, though, what does DOH mean?

DOH! is what one says upon realizing one has done something stupid, or has overlooked the obvious, etc...

By watching many hours of the Simpsons cartoon, one will naturally intuit the meaning of DOH in highly nuanced context.

DOH is similar to "duh", but far more complex, expressive, and utilitarian.

Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usu. mildly derogatory): implying that another person has said or done something foolish (cf. DUH int.).

Hey Kurt,
There was a second vagabond unit for sale of FredMiranda buy and sell forums the other day. The first one is sitting here on my desk. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The other unit was the bigger unit for $425. Might still be there if your interested.
