I have just purchased a new SB600 flash gun, and have been getting used to it, mainly taking pretty pointless stuff, but hey we all need to learn!
I thought others might be interested in how much difference a decent flash can make, so I took a short series of shots. Camera was D60 on Program. shot on RAW but no editing, just straight "save for the web"
Shot 1 using the cameras own built in flash:
mmm not very well lit, I'm sure we've all seen photos like that! so lets put the SB600 on, no adjustments just let the camera do it all....
Now lets put a small diffuser on the flash, (about £4 from ebay, similay to the stofen)
Better, more even light, but lets now try a 45 degree bounce off the ceiling, no diffuser:
And finally lets add the diffuser and bounce the flash:
Hope these demonstrate how much better the external flash is, especially when bounced. (and hope its not too basic for guys on this site!)
