After purchasing a sb800 & sb600 me and my friend decided to practice with some off camera lighting. I think we did a good job for a first timmer with only a 2 hour photoshoot What are your opinions.

Other then #9 which kept my eyes wondering....I like the rest of the photos.
Very well composed, taken at the "right" time and good exposure.
Looks like you have made your money worth on the flashs!

that's some seriously good stuff!! looks like you two had a blast, too! That's the most important thing, in my opinion.

Sick photos man. So basically you just had your hot shoe flash on a tri-pod and just placed it in different places?

yeah man, i usually had the sb800 on full or 1/2 power to camera right then i would put the sb600 camera left usually infront or behind subject at 1/4 or 1/8 power

6 and 11 I didn't like, the rest are pretty cool. Either way it's a hell of a first attempt at off camera flash!

I really like them. Are you using pocketwizards?!?

Thanks, but no i'm not using pocket wizards, even though I do need to invest in a set. I was using a 9foot sc-28 cord and had the sb800 in commader mode and the sb600 in remote.
