I am a photographer on the side in addition to my day job. This weekend I shot a concert for charity and mainly because I have a few friends in one of the bands that was playing. So I spent yesterday afternoon shooting the event, and last night "making" the final edits to the photos and getting all the post processing done.

Also it was a sad day, upon opening my gear bag at the start of the event I found my SB-900 (Nikon strobe) battery compartment had white crust all over it, a battery had exploded for whatever reason. I normally empty it out after every shoot, but apparently I left them in there, and left the thing on like an idiot. Cleaned it up, tried some new batteries, but she wouldn't fire up. And since it wasn't a wedding or paid gig I didn't bother to drag my backup gear along, so I had to shoot without a flash. Not really a problem as non-flash shots look the best at concerts, but the strobe is good for the safety shots if the lighting of the venue is piss poor. Stupid mistake from a shoot I did the previous weekend seems to have cost me my main flash. :(
