Good to find a thread like this biggrin.gif although there's a separate thread on strobist, this one is more general.

anyway, i got a few CLS shots, need some C&C. just started trying, so still beginner on how to setup, position the flash and everything.

they're taken using Nikon's CLS, using D80 built-in flash as commander mode, controlling 1 SB-600 fired from the ground level towards the subject and 1 Nissin di466 with lambency from the top, like a giant spotlight biggrin.gif

I see, cool... biggrin.gif

Since there's a thread about flash, don't mind if I ask something. biggrin.gif
Can I place my external flash just beside the camera if I wanna use slave mode ?

Been using the Di622 for almost a week now...
A powerful flash it is... But i-TTL kinda sucks...

Anything besides that is great. Worth the money... thumbup.gif

success rate is pretty low, 5% out of total photo usable. out of the hundred i took, around 5 only.
Thanks, yes only 1 flash was used
wait until u need to do burst shot to freeze the moment, like object dropping into water, u'll see that Di622 not fast enough
get a new charger 9hrs is too slow
*
I did some water dropping shots, well, I can't expect a very good speed since it's only RM440...
Wait till I have the $$$ first... brows.gif Time to save again...

The type of battery determines the recycle rate (how fast the batteries can supply electricity to the device).
Actually the battery's internal resistance affects how fast the electrons can move in the battery.
