With the trigger mounted on my Nikon D40, sb-600 charged and wirelessly attached to the receiver I was ready to finally become a strobist. NOT!
Aperture mode didn't work for some reason and of course Shutter mode is useless, so the Manual mode I go.
Manual Mode right? 1st gotta worry about shutter speed. The D40 goes all the way to 500th. Aperture f/11, kinda middle of the road. Click!
Black screen. Change the settings and dark screen with figures. Pretty much after about 40 test shots, I like about 5 because the flash cannot be directly facing my subject, aka kids. I really get good shots by aiming the flash 90 degrees at the ceiling. But wait, I can still get that look from my tiny sb-400 without any triggers.
Obviously I have much to learn and lots of shots to experiment with.
And this is all regardless of my permanent flash the YN-460.

Next entry will hopefully come with some improvement and the YN-460 flash and umbrella.
