 Details on Commander flash
operation and shooting procedures
Example F F-1
Single-light flash operation (off-camera
flash)
With a single off-camera flash unit used
behind the subject, distinct, intentional
shadows appear, emphasizing the subject’s
sturdiness. Usually, with an on-camera
flash, a sense of flatness is unavoidable.
However, in this situation, the position of the
SB-R200 can be rearranged with ease,
providing a variety of lighting and shadow
effects.
Flash setup
• Camera: D70
• Lens: AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
• Group A: SB-R200 (TTL)
F-2 example in “Close-up Speedlight Photography
Examples” was taken under the same conditions
as with F-1. F-3 was taken using a single built-in
flash.
Example G G-1
Triple-light flash operation
To create a more natural looking picture of
flowers in terms of colors and textures, one
SB-R200 from the top is used as a main
flash unit in addition to lighting setups from
the front and rear. Two SB-R200 attached to
the front of the lens eliminate harsh
shadows. Another SB-R200 bounced from
the rear emphasizes the subject contours
and brightens the backgrounds.
Flash setup
• Camera: D70
• Lens: AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D
• Group A: SB-R200 (TTL)
• Group B: SB-R200 (TTL)
• Group C: SB-R200 (M)
G-2 example in “Close-up Speedlight Photography
Examples” was taken using flash units in Groups A
and B. G-3 was taken using flash units in Group A
only.
