So I pre Ordered this Camera. I had originally thought I was going to get the D90, but I saw that this, lower but still good quality model will be out at the end of this month, so I went with it. Shoots 1080 @24, where the D90 shootin 720 @ 25 frames. I think its decent for the price.

From what I have read, it still has the quality Nikon parts and I look forward to owning my first DSLR. been waiting a few years for one.

if any of you listen to hardcore, my cool brag for the day is that the guy singing along on the right is the vocalist for shai hulud.

i guess while we're on band photography here's 2 that i took at burning love and coliseum the other night. my camera and flash were acting all weird i think probably because the flash batteries are low, so i didn't get anything that amazing...

Turn the white balance either to flash, or manually up to a warm temp, and bounce it off the ceiling or use ttl.

Setting up your camera and flash to commander mode is usually the best since the on camera acts as a fill and the SB-600 is the main light source.

Hitting the subject straight on from the shoe is also good if there is enough ambient light and you're not at a high aperture and 1/250 sec.

For more ambient and less flash in the shot lengthen the exposure time.

ive shot with an SB600 in dark places and the photos suck mainly because ive had a hard time learning how to use it either of you have any tips on how to use the flash in dark places?

 

What Mercer said, basically. If you're shooting things that aren't fast moving- bounce that shit. If you're shooting bands or whatnot, aim that head on. What I've seen and had suggested by a few other users, at least for live band shots, is to use your flash wireless and hold that in one hand and your camera in the other to get more interesting light effects.
