Nissin Di622 triggered by master pop up flash.

I think there were 2 white cardboard at the side of the car. Can't remember correctly.

Hello guys, I need some guide to use flash bound way. When I should bound to top and when should bound direct to object/person ?

no specific rules man, sometimes bounce on ceiling also not good idea, especially when it cast shadows under their eyes, nose and whatever.

it's really subjected to condition.

sharing a useful tip on flash here:

man..where can i find cheap third party flash , mine sb600 olredi blow aa...go nikon service center , it charge me bout RM 318, :-(

Mind to share how it blows...?

erm , i think maybe i use 1/2 to frequently in these one event....then i send it to nikon center
( and i thought it just only need to change the tube ) and last i found out that i need to change more than the tube , here is the decription

PHENOMENON : FLASH NOT FIRING

SOLUTION : REPLACE XE TUBE, FRESNEL LENS, TRIGGER PCB & CONNECTOR WIRE

PRODUCT: SB-600

REPAIR CONTENT:
-TOTAL CHARGE : RM 318.00
-DEPOSIT : RM 20.00
-LABOUR CHARGE : RM 120.00

Does this qualify as a strobist attempt?

PZ42X @1/4 Triggered w/ Phottix Aster, PP

Not easy learning all these stuff considering I'm kiamsap dun wan buy umbrella.

Was wondering where to post this coz there's a strobist thread already, but this seems to be the more active one, and ppl seem to equate flash photography = strobist.

strobist is anything to do with 'recreate light' onto ur photo. even bounce flash mount on ur camera is consider strobist, just the most boring strobe method

hmm.. got a question, when would you use a softbox, V cards (strip light), or umbrella? they don't exactly produce the same result right? if anyone has the 3 above, care to share some outputs using them? tq

any flash would be good? i heard sunpak and nissin aint that bad either?
budget around rm6++ which includes 50mm 1.8MII

just got my sb 900 and dont know how to use the modes. T_T
read the manual but my understanding power seems to be very low.

is there any links that can help me with this? already go to strobist, but i guess its for ameteur and above lol

btw, noob question, whats the different flash at 14mm and flash at 200mm? flash at 200mm will be more powerful than 14mm? ttl in sb 900 is like auto mode in camera isn't?

TTL is basically means auto it does a pre-flash to detect the power required to balance the ev on the photo.

14mm is wide. and 200mm is snoot. if u shoot with a 18mm lens, and snoot the flash at 200mm... go try it, and learn the result

any1 know DEMB is a good buy or not for a flash? what kind of diffuser you guys recommend the most for potrait, minus the big soft box XD

Demb is good. actually, all in the market flash modifier are good. just that, u must learn how to use it to your advantage

i always shoot with built in bounce card. that all i need.

thnks for the reply ieR!!! if lens at 18mm but flash 200mm the flash not gonna blow is it? loooool!...
