Bounce flash Anonymous
Anyone use it much? Ordered a SB-400 from the US last week and received it this week. Still have to work out how to use it successfully with non-white ceilings.

I can't tilt the whole flash, just the reflector at the front, will have a look at it though.

For Flash - tell her to lift her top.
For Bounce - tell her to jump up and down.
For great profit - film, upload to youtube and post link on 4chan.

The sb-400 doesn't have *that* much more kick than your internal flash. Up the iso if its giving you the blinky flash light.
I wasn't really sure what nikon was thinking with this flash when it was announced and I'm still not sure now. The only thing I could see myself using it for is a stronger and less-chance-of-red-eye direct fill. As the primary light source, inside... and bounced? It's too small mang.

bouncing the flash is one of the best things you can do with it, the pictures come out great as long as you angle it right
You have to make sure the light actually bounces onto the subject correctly otherwise you'll wind up with stuff like dark shadows under they eyes if they're too close

the 400 doesn't actually tilt, so it's tough

on flashes that do tilt to bounce just use an elastic and a white business card attached to the flash to give a little pop to the face
