Multiple Flash Photography — Using More Than One Speedlight
If you have another flash unit, you can use it as a secondary
light source for multiple flash photography. When you use
only one flash unit in front of a subject, harsh shadows may
be produced or light may not reach the background. Using
more than one flash unit helps you solve these problems.
To perform multiple flash photography with the SB-26,
there are two methods, (1) cordless multiple flash photogra-
phy with the SB-26 used as a slave flash unit (pages 128 to
131), (2) multiple flash photography with flash units con-
nected via cord(s) (pages 131 to 133).
In multiple flash photography, carefully consider the num-
ber of flash units to use and their locations. For better
results, position each unit so its light can brighten a shadow
created by another.
Also remember that the effect produced by using more
than one flash unit depends on the lighting ratio or balance
of illumination between flash units. In determining the role of
each flash unit, first decide which will be the main and
which units will be secondary.
For example, to eliminate shadows, control lighting ratio
so that the illumination from the main flash unit is a few
times brighter than that from the secondary.
Caution
To avoid damage to flash units
or incorrect operation, never
mix Nikon Speedlights with
flash units of other manufactur-
ers.
