Well i guess when you can’t find help I often study and experiment with different techniques. I’m now proficient in using off camera flash. I’ve been working with two Nikon SB600 off camera with the Nikon D90 CLS. Its been interesting and I have developed a good work flow for a two light setup and sometimes a reflector. I’ve particularly become fond of night shoots, it completely keeps the background dark and black while bringing focus to the subject or i can use the reflector as a third light and use one flash to light the background. Awesome stuff I like it a lot and having a whole lot of fun.

Ive had the Nikon D90 for a few months now and I am sooo loving it. The increased ISO settings has allowed me to capture some awesome night shots. The video mode I’m still experimenting with but its really sensitive and awesome. I still use my Nikon D40 with the ML-L3 remote for some interesting [...]

Looking for some advice on using multiple flash off camera. Ive recently been using the Nikon cls to set different moods with my lighting. Is there any advice on using multiple strobes off camera.
My technique that i use so far is to meter for the the background using the zone system and use the flash as a fill on my subject. It creates a rich saturated look for the background while illuminating the subject. Its a tricky process that i have yet to perfect, but i guess with time i will discover what works best.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions for tried and proven techniques.

My Nikon upgrade will be the Nikon D90. Its great for semi professional photographers. Since I’ve pretty much mastered the Nikon D40 and out grown it, I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade to a more versatile camera that i can actually be more creative and have a lot more fun. Since I’m already established with [...]
