Yesterday I purchased the Nikon SB-600, an external flash. I am looking to broaden my night shots with artificial light. Particularly, using the flash to light up subjects at various angles. Last night I practiced lighting up an old vespa that was mounted on top of some boulders. I set up my camera for 10 to 15 second exposures. During an exposure I went around the vespa and fired the flash several times at different angles.
Another cool feature about the SB-600 is that it can be triggered wirelessly. The flash came with a stand, which I can use to position the flash within 33 feet of the camera. This will be helpful for my night shots as well as portraits.

Love it, Teetz. Don't know if you know this website, but it's a goodie: http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the website, I'll check it out. Oh, and congrats on the J O B. I hear you guys will be staying there a little longer now. Right on!
ReplyDeleteNice shots - love the "rivers of light". Looks like you've got a pretty nifty flash, too. It sure made a difference in the Vespa shots. You can get fancy equipment over there? Sweet.
ReplyDeleteH- Thanks. Yeah, I found a few decent camera shops. They are literally within 100 meters from each other on the same side of the street:-) The prices are no better or worse than in the states though. Nikon and Cannon do a good job at fixing their prices globally.
ReplyDeleteGuess that's "Globalization" for you. Profit is the bottom line no matter where you're based. Funny that there'd be 2 camera shops so close to one another! Lucky for you, though.
