Experiments with a Nikon R1

[ortega]

this shot is with just one SB-R200



still getting the hang of my new setup
finding out what it can and cannot do

Will post other experiements in this tread later

[eikin]

compared to the last test, this looks more like it

[Sjourn]

ooo hooo...nice lighting. no regrets getting that toy right?

[ortega]

still figuring out how to get the SB800 to control both SB-R200
for different intensity

yes no regrets, as you say "cannot go wrong with a Nikon Speedlight"

[ortega]

and this is with 2 SB-R200 for a more even light

Nice pics. Clear and sharp.

I like the spider one.

You need 1 more R1

interesting first pic. Pin sharp on the eyes.

For #2, the thing below the wing, appears abit too white to me on my monitor. Its more of a greyish white colour

[tltan]

I like #1. Wow, R1 is interesting! And espn is spreading his BBB in here as well? hehe.

2 SB-R200 looks better.

How about 1 SB-R200 with 1 SB-800?

Great shots!! Are you using the entire R1C1 system or just the controller?

It uses the CR123A batteries right? Do you know if there are any rechargables for it? I wonder how long each battery lasts. It is a real pain buying these.
