Thread: Flickr: Discussing Thought my CLS triggering flash wouldn't be picked up on pictures... in Strobist.com

Here's another one where you can clearly see my trigger flash being captured in my subject's eyes: Can't wait for my Yongnuos to come in - though max sync speed of 1/200th on my D90 sort of blows...

I originally bought one of these ( www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/410445-REG/Nikon_4905_SG_3... ) but decided to get an SU-800 a couple months later so I don't need the IR panel anymore. if you want it, Bryan, I can throw it in a padded envelope and mail it to you, it is just taking up space here.

I used to think Nikon said that if you set the Master flash to -- then the flash from that camera will not show up in the photo. However, I actually read the manual for the SB800 (first time I've ever done that), and Nikon specifically states that the light from the flash when set to -- can show in the photograph. I would suggest you aim the flashead away from your subject in the future.

Yeah, it happens sometimes. Luckily, there's a $12 solution. It's an IR filter called the SG-3IR: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/410445-REG/Nikon_4905_SG_3... EDIT: apparently it's out of stock at B&H. Check around though, you can probably find it somewhere.

I've heard you can put exposed and developed B&W film over the pop up flash.

Exposed film works. Cut out a small piece and use it like you would a gel.

Added bonus of the SG-3IR is that it helps with "blinkers"

Two options that work: 1) SG-3IR, as Tim noted. 2) Push the shutter speed over the X-sync limit to force the camera into FP Sync. The pop-up flash won't show at all, as it'll trigger before the shutter starts to open. On a D90, the X-sync limit is 1/200, so setting the shutter to 1/250 will force the issue.

Another option: SU-800 Commander
