Hey guys, wanna ask your comment. Does Sb600 has better i-TTL metering compared to Di622? dunno y I cant use my Di622 well with TTL mode, I usually need to use manual mode. I cant get the correct exposure. I thought of selling my Nissin and buy a SB-600, any suggestion?

Haha... I have not use a SB-600 before, so now asking for advise frm u guys. If there is not much diff btw Di622 and SB600 den not worth buying it rite. I wanna buy it is coz I think in future if I wanna play with CLS then I get a SB900 can link with SB600 but not Di622.
QUOTE
I would say, if u think it's worth it then go for it.. Afterall the decision is in your hand.. If u have the budget, just keep the Di622 and buy another SB-600..

try it yourself lol . normal near range, i use 2 or 3 power .

I prefer to have some real fact advise rather than trying out.... I saw frm some article ppl use the Nissin to light subject from the back instead to let the Subject has a more 3D effect.

You don't expect got flash sure have good portrait photos. Flash is not an easy task in photography, because it's related to lighting here. Later you will discover harsh direct flash prob, harsh shadow, over/under exposed, etc...
you will learn as you shoot more, don't worry =D

BTW u said nissin got that function "3D effect", i think it's rear slow sync, every flash also can do one.. there's no such special function, it's just how u control it. Reviews are not as good as your experience...
*
Ya... tot of goin for Nikon workshop to learn, lol.... coz lighting can make a real big difference to a portrait. Ya u r right, experience really makes the difference, but now I'm empty, I doesnt know how to do at all yet.... looking around in google for flash techniques to learn now

got this thinking around in my head for a time...to get 55-200mm VR or 50mm? but as i noe d5000 cant af with 50mm sad.gif
*
Previously I also headache with options like yours, either a zoom or a prime. But for prime I advise u better dont take the one without AF-S. U will b frustrating manual focusing when u wanna shoot some shot within seconds (unless u r very pro la tongue.gif ), get the 35mm instead with AF-s. In the end I've chosen the 55-200, coz travelling I will need that to cover details of ancient structure or watsoever la... 35 and 50mm drops within your kit lens coverage, it's just the aperture for low light n bokeh shot. My flash will solve the low light problem meanwhile biggrin.gif

it's quite hard to completely light up the entire background like that unless you use something like a demb diffuser and a slower shutter speed... i think..
*
Yea Kenji.... I think slower shutter speed did the job. I use A mode then the shutter speed tends to b 1/60, this second pic I used 1/20, then it turns out better....

Kent3888, higher ISO and slower shutter will fix this. Show the EXIF of first and second image?

How you paste the EXIF here? I'm using Opanda EXIF 2.3

Anybody can answer me this? If I'm using a SB600 with my D5000, I just need to buy a single piece of cheap wireless trigger to trigger it rite? How much does it cost? Can it do CLS after having the trigger? Thanks a lot for your reply in advance....
