Bounce flash operation

You can tilt or rotate the SB-900’s flash head to bounce the light off the ceiling or walls, providing more natural-looking pictures of people with softer shadows. Also, you can soften the shadows even more by using the Nikon Diffusion Dome.

tSetting flash head tilting/rotating angles, and choosing the reflecting surface

• Good results are generally obtained most simply when the flash head is tilted up and you use the ceiling as a reflecting surface.

• Rotate the flash head horizontally to get the same effect when you hold the camera in the vertical position.

• Take care not to let light from the flash unit illuminate the subject directly.

The effective distance between the flash head and the reflecting surface is approx. 1 m (3.3 ft.) to 2 m (6.6 ft.) depending on the shooting conditions.

In color photography, select white or highly reflective surfaces to bounce the light off of. Otherwise, your pictures will come out with an unnatural color cast similar to that of the reflecting surface.
