Generally I was between 2-3 feet away (so pretty close) and the lens I was using was a Nikon 17-55 mm f/2.8 DX on my D200, at a variety of ranges but usually at the tighter end. The flash was always camera left, about an arm's length away. Glad you found it useful! Cheers!

I just purchased a softbox III also and am right into doing daytime portraits also. Out of curiosity, what kind of distances were you from your subjects. Also, what focal length (lens) were you using. Cheers! -Paul Great stuff, Good read. I just purchased a softbox III also and am right into doing daytime portraits also.

I believe Canon has something similar but I'm not sure! The pop-up flash itself doesn't provide any real light as it's just set to trigger the SB-800 with pre-flashes. You should definitely get yourself at least one good flash and check out Strobist!

Bearing in mind I have a 30D that I wave around and v v rarely use the built-in flash...I tend to control the light with the shutter but would like to get my hands on a decent flash to toy around with Good stuff, some excellent results here – what equipment would you recommend/did you use? ie, underneath the Softbox?
