[QUOTE="Revet, post: 223777, member: 17612"] Not sure if I have a wall to use yet plus with this large group I am going to need flash power but I will see what I have in the hall when I get there on Sat. With all your help I feel pretty confident about this shot (that might not be a good thing!! lol). I still have 2 easy questions to make things run a little faster when on site. 1) If I can't figure out the D-90 with the little amount of time I have, can I use the SB-700 on my camera in commander mode using all 3 flashes on manual instead of TTL. I know it is still sending a signal but is that a signal that will cause blinking issues?? If it is, I will spend some time this week studying the B-90 manual. Also, I will put a new camera body on my wish list!! 2) With the sb-700 being used for fill, is it worth it to try a diffuser first or is that going to screw up my line of sight to trigger the 600's and/or not give me enough flash power. I'll see how this works out in the practice session but a little info beforehand can't hurt. Thanks to you all I have learned a ton about flash photography and I look forward to spending more relaxed time with it after the new year. I bought the camera a few years ago and have gradually added lenses and the flash through the years. At the beginning of the summer I ordered 3 e-books via Digital Photography School and I have found I have a real passion for this, I just can't get enough. I love art but I can't create it. With photography, as I look through the lens, I can see the image and know if it's a an interesting shot in most cases. It's a perfect fit for me! Wish I found it earlier in my life but there is still plenty of time left to drive my wife crazy with my obsessions!! Thanks again to all who helped me here.
