Thanks to my wonderful wife, I was able to pick up a LNIB SB-600 last night. I must have sat on the couch for 2 hrs messing with that darn thing :rofl: ....Now I just need to download the pdf manual and figure out how to properly use it lol.

Congrats.
Reading the manual? Isn't that sort of un-American? :rolleyes :patriot:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

That "male" thing is a myth spread by women. My wife never reads the manuals on anything. If she doesn't understand it, she experiments or calls our son :kiss:

Congrats on the new flash! Did you take the photo in your avatar? Did you use an automotive photography rig or take the shot from another car? :judge:

Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.
