I am relatively new to flash photography. Im currently using a Nikon D80 with a SB800 on the camera and a SB600 as a slave and shooting action sports. The subject is usually very close and Im shooting with a wide lens. My problem is that both these flashes seem to work only half the time. The SB600 hardly fires half the time. Ive tried different modes, iTTL, manual etc and had little luck getting any consistency. Sometimes on the first shot the SB600 will flash and then beep 3 times (over exposure?) and then not fire again. Im not over exposing but maybe the camera thinks I am? Even today the 800 directly on the camera would only fire about half the time. The batteries are fresh. I usually am shooting in Aperature mode.
I have alot to learn about flash photography and I understand your guys arent here to give complete lessons but if anyone has a link to a video that can help explain the basics of this setup Id be grateful.
If not than I have some Nikon gear for sale but it may be slightly damaged from hucking it out the window.....
