@ongdandy ,

you are using TTL mode ? should try manual adjust the flash power .

wow..heaps of ppl at bon odori

yea i use ttl mode.. still not very good using manual on flash yet.

I would suggest to use available light.. Cause shooting with flash only comes under extreme condition.. Portrait lighting will require much more speedlite rather than one... and this is merely my own opinions...

And regarding the SB900 speelite, how far the flash can reach is 18-200mm(rated)... Not too sure about the real life... Lol..

even it can reach 200mm , the background still will be dark too .

Is flash recommended when shooting in the street ?

I think many of us here misunderstand the 18-200mm zoom feature of the SB900. Basically, at 18mm 1/1 power the flash probably only light up maybe 3-5 meter? (I don't know the exact number). at 200mm 1/1 power it probably could light up 20meter away or so. Basically it means the flashgun is capable of adjusting the light concentration so that you don't waste any outside of your frame.

Example if you use sb600 or sb800 and a 200mm telephoto. Some power would be wasted as the flash is lighting up a wider range.. (105? 135? can't recall) thus lower range instead of the SB900 which is capable of lighting up just 200mm view.

i see.. my d3k really poor in low light. always have abit of yellowish and red sometime. dunno why.

@Celciuz: Yes, the zoom features is about the focus of the light, nothing much more than that.. Power to light up background, u gotta look into strobist group and from there, u can learn lotsa stuff..

@Fabianz03: Flash during street photography is depending on how creative u goin to use the flash, there is no restriction with using flash under any condition.. U can see Joe McNally's work.. He is one of the portable strobist, using plenty of Nikon Speedlite, mostly SB800 and SB900..

@ongdandy: u still can find a way to play with ur flash, ISO800 isn't that bad, even my D40 is performing well under such ISO speed.. Yellowish or red might be your WB settings, try to play with it... And btw, u can solve ur flash problem by using

DFD Pro -> good stuffs .

how to bounce the flash when we are shooting vertically . for potrait .

if straight , we bounce up to the ceiling . if change to vertical how ?@@

Vertical also can bounce to ceiling what, just twist the head?

alright.. thanks seng.. i only have the flip it diffuser (fake).

Haha thanks, my purpose is just to light up dark areas only...
Thanks for the link !

thanks =='''



seldom change the direction of the flash ...

Using SB600 ?

nop . using di622.
