Lucky break! Over the weekend I picked up a used SB-800<\/a> for about $240. I’ve been keeping my eye open for one for awhile now — close to two years since I got my smaller SB-600 and read Joe McNally’s book<\/a> and began to long for a second flash. Now I get to play and learn some new things. It’s fascinating and sometimes quite counter-intuitive stuff.<\/p>\n

Daniel was a willing model — since he couldn’t really go anywhere — and I’m happy enough with the picture. However, I do wish I would have taken another shot of him with the flash backed away a little bit more or at a reduced power. It seems a little too bright. But you know, it’s really hard to see the picture on the back of the camera in bright sunlight, and to be honest I was more interested in making sure that I didn’t have any clipped highlights. <\/p>\n
