Hi all. I've got two SB-800s I use with a D7000. In the distant past I fired one flash using a wired cord with a pc adapter plugged into the SB-800 socket and the other end of the cord had a mini flash slave. I did this because the remote flash was hidden by a wall and could not "see" the on-camera flash so it wouldn't fire. I was able to hide the wire, placing that mini slave in sight of the on-camera SB-800.
The problem is it's been so long since I did that I can't recall what settings I used. Now I've tried many things and NEITHER of the SB-800 will cooperate. I switched the cords and switched the mini slave triggers but nothing is working to fire the remote flash with that system. I know it's rinky-dink but it used to work very well.
When I shoot conventionally the master and remote SB-800s work just fine. It's just when I use the hidden wire technique that things aren't happening.
Thanks, any clue?
