Did you have a backup speed light ?

No I didn't, resorted to built in flash until the speedlight cooled down.

Lucky it was a casual wedding, but still a bummer for that to happen. How long did it take to cool down enough to be useable again ?

I thought you had a Nikon flash anyway.

It took around 2-5 mins to cool down.
I do have a SB910 but that has been playing up and will not work on the hot shoe for some unknown reason. Will be looking at new flashes in coming weeks. Trip to States has been confirmed for early November, so I will need it by then.

I'm really starting like this Australia. I would have loved to get married barefoot and in my shorts.:encouragement:

Nice shots Scott!

To me that is the best kind! :encouragement:

Hi Scott, I have the same overheating problem with my SB900's is there any way of over coming this? Or do I have to buy newer model?

Seems like the Chinese at Yonguo copied the SB900 down to the last detail, including the overheating issue.

I wasn't aware the SB-910 had an overheating issue. I thought the SB-900 had it.

I think the issue was fixed in the SB910 as I have never had an issue with that speedlight only my Yongnuo.

No issues with the SB910

no issues here with the Yongnuo 565

I've overheated my 568s when shooting TTL and doing a few rapid candid shots in quick order. I haven't noticed any problems with the 910s ... they're solid.
