Playing with Sparklers and the SB800
Final one for tonight - we've been camping this weekend
Played a bit with the settings on the SB800 flash, and am becoming more and more happy with the results:

That's a great shot Sheepie - you've really nailed that SB800. The balance between the flash and light thrown by the sparkler is fantastic.
As a relatively new owner of said beastie, could you enlighten me ('scuse the pun) as to the settings you used? Simon

OK - this is a bit from memory and a bit from the EXIF (although the EXIF reckons it was with the built-in flash, but I'm sure it was the SB800!)... Shutter Priority, 1/2 sec Handheld, 50mm 1.8 D @ F/2.8 ISO 200 Rear Curtain Flash Sync Mode Flash Comp -0.3EV Pretty sure the flash was set to iTTL, but the EXIF has me confused. This is a crop of the original - the full frame has more of the background in it (which I tend to do on purpose - you can always crop, you can't replace something that isn't there!). *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Thanks for that Sheepie. It will be added to my rapidly expanding SB800 knowledge base.
 Simon
