A week or so ago I ordered a Nikon SB-910, and a couple of days ago it arrived. I had been looking at buying an external flash for a little while now and had spent quite a bit of time reading reviews online. I always used to buy my cameras and equipment from Jessops but now they have gone into administration I ended up buying from Amazon. This made me worry a bit as Jessops would provide you with help and advice on products which I found particularly useful. Every review I read was positive, particularly stating that any faults that had arisen with previous models (such as overheating) and been ironed out and improved on with the SB-910.
This week I have been spending time reading through the manual that came with it. I think that once I start to practise using it I will find it easier and the manual will make more sense as I will be applying the techniques mentioned. I am not very good with technology like this and a lot of the manual does not really make sense to me so I think that I may end up doing some further research.
I bought the flash mainly because I have been trying to gain more hands on experience and any 'jobs' that I have found have required you to own an external flash. I also want to be able to shoot in a wider range of conditions and experiment a bit more.
This coming week my employer would like me to photograph portraits of some of my colleagues so I may get to try it out then.
