Hi, I have a nikon d90, and I love to shoot indoor with natural light with my 50 mm 1.4.
I am doing some preschool pictures so I want to use my flash (sb600). I also have a softbox, and an umbrella. However, I did not get the instructional DVD with this used purchase.
I am so frustrated trying to use these lights. My pics are either too dark, or the light is harsh, and the child has a terrible shadow!
I have tried googling, you-tubing, reading everything possible online. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use a soft-box (for dummies). Should I use just the soft box? or both that and the umbrella? What should I have the setting on my camera be? Should I use the sb600 to trigger flash? I just want a soft, professional looking image!
Thanks,
Jess
