Hot Shoe Tips! - Part I

Some valuable tips I acquired while reading my two new books...they are not in any order of importance or priority.

• Have your SB-900 Dome Diffuser on all the time unless you are long-lensing your subject
• Shoot at Aperture priority mode to dictate your DOF
• 3D Matrix Metering II is the way to go under normal circumstances
• Shoot at ISO 200 and RAW whenever possible
• Bracket when its an important shot
• Shoot rear curtain flash sync for shutter speed 1/30 second or slower
• Engage manual flash mode (disable i-TTL) if you want max 1/1 flash output on your shoot
• Shutter-dragging while in flash photography gives you more ambient/background details.
