As per signature, I already owned 1 SB600, been reading up strobes, indoor and outdoor shoots, ps for my simple drawings, hope understandable. I'm putting aside a performance lens like 70-200 due to $$$ and rather make use of additional light for creative play,
current post is to point out the doubts I had, if I additionally purchase another SB600 / SB900, which be better investment?
I suppose since my D90 can be commander, using SB900 to mount on the cam and as commander would be silly ba.
need comments from strobist, expert in lights
illustration 1:
question 1: standard setup of using 1 flash with umbrella outdoor with 1 reflector for fill. for the flash, should it be overhead of the subject or directly leveled?
in another situation, if the environment was cool and sunny, but the sun was behind the photographer or somewhere else, lighting is sufficient under normal outdoor shoot, using illustration 1 above,
question 2: the flash act as a fill?
illustration 2:
instead of using a reflector, if own 2 flash, flash in B position can be used as fill with lower output right?
ok apart from the above..
currently my SB600 served me well for normal situation, which so call as fact, the flash allow lights to reach 85mm far, sorry as this part I may not understand fully.
question 3:Given additionally SB900, will I benefit for greater reach say to cover event?
question 4:heard SB900 given in a big hall, is able to provide longer fill of the surrounding compared to a SB600, is this true?
