Nikonian Academy - Basic To Intermediate :May 17, 2008

We had the largest group ever in this session, 15 participants! One of the participants, Faisal, came all the way from Brunei!
Here's the class photo:


It was a cloudy day then, all the participants had a blast trying out fill-in flash techniques.
With Nikon's SB600 and SB800, make sure it's on TTL and BL and adjust the flash compensation to optimal negative value. The correct value is dependent on ambient light. We just need the flash to minimally "touch" the subject. Another guide is to make sure that there are no shadows created by the flash.
