Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

OK - at the very end of the day, when the real models had had just about as much of cameras in their faces as anyone could possibly handle, I wanted to try something I've been wanting to try for a long time - Multi SB800's in remote mode.
One of the many really cool features of the D200 is it's ability to remotely control two banks of Creative Lighting System flashes (of which the SB800 is a part), plus still use the onboard flash - all independantly of each other! This means that each bank can have it's own individual exposure settings, all measured via the camera's metering system to provide a balanced but completely controllable exposure.
For this shot, we had my SB800 with a silver reflector to the right, another SB800 slightly forward of that, the onboard, and another SB800 to the left. OK, it's not a brilliant shot, and there are definate hotspots from a bit of harsh lighting - but this was within 3 or 4 shots of starting to experiment. Imagine the potential (albeit reasonably expensive) of a lighting setup such as this - and it's extremely portable!
D200 with 50mm1.8, f5.6 1/250th ISO100
Flash bank 1 (right) +0.7EV, Flash bank 2 (left) -1.3EV, Overall flash -0.3EV
And as an example of what great value the 50mm1.8 is, have a look at this 100% crop...

Im surprised with the results 
3x SB800 (3x$450), value of $1350, this could have gotten into nearl full studio setup already.
But then, portability outdoors, this is greatest thing you can ever have in your bag.

Excellant!!!
The original looks a bit over sharpened on my monitor?, unless of course it really is grey hair?

Sheepie, nice results from using multiple SB800s. They certainly give you great flexibility with the d200.
Cheers
John
