What I got my boyfriend for Christmas
11:22 AMI gave him a camera flash as a gift. After the Facehunter event, we took the time to take some more photos to test it out.
I like that it is actually very helpful for night photography. Plus it has a built in or attached diffuser (and light panel to bounce off the light) to maintain the image's natural look.
Even though the flash isn't attached to the camera, it still works. In the first photo, JR holds it while I take his photo. Cool effect noh? (1. The anonymous effect, 2. The "I found a treasure" effect) Haha.
Sometimes I feel like it's unfair because JR knows that all he has to give me are either shoes, bags, clothes or accessories as gifts. For over two years that we've been together, thinking of what to give him has always been grueling simply because he has everything. JR dislikes shopping and is not so much into clothes. He wears any shirt, polo, pants, slippers or rubber shoes as long as it fits him comfortably. One time I gave him a tee from Roxy, which I truly knew was in his size, but didn't fit him. Oh that was such a heartache.
Well I know he loves techie stuff. But damn, they're expensive! Hahaha. He owns a kindle (e-book), gaming gadgets, a DSLR, and so on and so forth. And so, aside from giving him a sports watch (way back during our first year), what else is left for me to give him?
When I found out he intended to buy a flash, I didn't mind shelling out a few pesos (it's not a few! hahaha). At least I didn't give a gift for the sake of giving. I'm happy knowing that it was what he really wanted. Plus, it was a good way for him to save up anyway.
