Hi,
With my mountain bike photography, I use my D200 with an off camera SB-800. My main problem is when 2 or more bikers come past in quick succession - Basically, something in the set-up is preventing me to shoot quick enough to get all the bikers. I'm not sure if it's the pop-up flash, the SB-800, or something else...
It happens whether I'm using the pop-up to contribute, or not. And I'm not sure if the amount of time I have to wait, coincides with the beep from the SB-800 which tells you it has recycled, although when used on camera, the SB-800 will fire multiple times in very quick succession, albeit at a decreasing output. And I'm using the extra battery on the SB-800.
Presumably radio triggers would solve this problem, but what about other options, like using a 2nd SB-800 (or the new SB-900 ) ON-camera, or using the SU-800 Commander Unit???
Anyone got any thoughts???
Cheers
