Flash-Pose
Took Ashley down to the soccer fields tonight to play with flash at sunset. Wanted a sky balanced with front lighting on her, so, stuck my SB-600 shot through a Micro-Apollo on my tripod about 5' from her - 45? at about 10:00 high. I realize now I need a proper flash-stand.
Thoughts on this one? Too dark? Too bright?
Also, question for my fellow Nikon strobists - I am coming into some cash - so the SB700? SB800? SB900? or refurbished SB600?
Nikon D700 + Carl Zeiss 35mm
Strobist: SB-600 @ 1/4 power left 45? - through Micro Apollo

O-flash test
I got o-flash(ringflash adaptor) to test from my work buddy. This adaptor was originally made for 430ex(??) but the size of sb-600 is quite same.
...My first intrest was to test how enormous light loss this adaptor has.... quite big as you can see... even +4 ev in lr didn't help(not shown) . Maybe the grey cardboard reflector inside the adapter doesn't work so well :)
Camera: iso 100, f22, ca.35mm
Flash: 1/1, 35mm manual setting(sb-600)
