How do you get the Dramatic Sky in an outside photo shoot?I am doing a Photo Shoot tomorrow around 2pm and 5pm (not very sunny) and wanted to know how i can get the fabulous dramatic sky behind my model?
Equipment I have:
- Nikon D300
- Nikon Sb-900 x 2
- Nikkor 50mm
First, you talk to God and arrange for the perfect sky... OK, seriously though you somewhat at the mercy of what the day gives you. Some things that can help bring out some drama in the sky would be a polarizer or a yellow filter. The yellow filter

As a longstanding (30 years +) Pro Nikon shooter, I always relied on the Nikon Speedlight to mate with my various Nikon cameras. I have never been disappointed by the excellent results.
The introduction of Nikon iTTL (intelligent through-the-lens) flash system is a major step forward for flash photography. I owned the SB-600 for over a year and it always worked for me. I use it as a flash Senior Travel (lighter than the SB-800 SB-900) with my D300 camera. It is also a secondary flash quality when used wirelessly with other Nikon flashes.With three or four flashes, I can make studio quality and lighting effects that rival my location strobe units pro and have total creative control over lighting.
If you are serious about photography, I recommend the SB-600 on the SB-400. The additional cost not only gives you more power, but many advanced features that you will come to use and enjoy.
