Back to Basics : Using the SB-600 on Camera
It has recently occurred to me that while I have messed around a little with my Nikon SB-600 and I never leave home without it, I really don’t feel that comfortable putting it to use on camera. Lately, I have been noticing a lot of people using their speed lights in situations that I tend to bump up the ISO or open the aperture a little wider in order to compensate for not really knowing how to use the paperweight that I carry with me.
So, what I am going to do about it? Well, I am going to force myself to use it so that I can get a better grip on the ‘right’ way to use it. I know, I have started into Strobist techniques a bit with the Cactus Triggers that I picked up a few months back but I feel like I should learn how to crawl a bit before I run.
I am hoping to pass on whatever I learn as I make my way through this with some tips and some fun shots along the way.
Stay tuned !!
Hey Paul,
I’ve just ordered an sb-600 and can’t wait to start shooting with my very first flash. I look forward to reading about your development and experiences!
