Thanks Yanik .. You can of course also use the Nikon SU800 wireless speedlight commander (infrared) to trigger the other SB800. Advantage is that you can control the flash output of multiple remote flashes from your SU800 on camera .. So no need to go change output on individual flashes. I often use an SB800 as a rimlight or hair light. So light, that there is no need for a sophisticated, expensive boom arm. I use monopods with flash brackets on them (plastic stands come with SB800)

Hey. Great site, understanable for regular people. Just one question for you, could you put up some more pics of how the lighting setup is not just the drawings. And a littlebit more info on shutter, apperture etc etc on the different shoots.

I’ve learned quite alot from this site, so thank you very much

Yanik,
thanks for sharing this tutorial. I love the halo effect, and you have to admit, SB snoots and grids are sooooo much cheaper then studio modifiers.
For shooting small things I don’t use big seamless paper, I simply use an A0 sized paper, it is much easier to set up and cost very little.

@ Jim

I love it when I can learn something from my readers! Thanks for that! I never thought about the SU-4 option. That’s great to know and I’ll test it out.

@ Debbi

I just took the white lining from the softbox, folded it and clamped it directly on the round flash dome. Hope this explains it better for you.
