[QUOTE="Revet, post: 223010, member: 17612"] Thanks, I think I'm ready for this. I'll look at the D90 the night before and see if I can easily figure it out. It worries me because when you are under pressure, it is best to know your equipment. I'm not too worried about blinking, I am going to take multiple shots and I can photoshop a few blinkers out and replace with non-blinking shots (except for my daughter who is a chronic blinker!!). When I use the SB-700 as the commander, what type of signal is it sending out to the 600's?? (infra-red, small flashes) The manual says you can turn the commander flash off so I thought it was infrared (I guess that would still be line of sight). Would the commander function of the D90 be all that different since it is using the pop-up flash to emit a signal?? One other question I thought of. I understand that the further I move the flashes back, the more depth of coverage but decreased power (by a squared function if I remember correctly). Does this hold true if I bounce them?? In other words, if I try a bounce here, can I move them in a little closer to the group vs a direct flash. I will try TTL first but if I don't get enough light, I will switch them to manual mode and crank them (1/1) and move the zoom to wide angle. I was playing around last night with one flash at about the distance I think I will be shooting and I had to use a wide aperture and ridiculously slow shutter speed to get a descent exposure, so I understand the difficulty of this task I have before me. Next post will be the final product. Wish me luck!! [/QUOTE]
