Hi Folks- wondering if this group can help with what went wrong- I took my D7000 and SB600 to take a quick night time group picture of neighbours - When I took the pic, I put the camera on Auto- (did not have my glasses and did not want to be fiddling with settings) I proceeded to take several shots- but every one was totally dark, and useless. I could see the flash going off; but still *DARK* pictures.
When I put the flash on the camera, I am pretty sure I had already turned it on; so plugged it live into the hot-shoe.
I have attached 2 pics, one that had the issues I describe above, and then one where within a minute I took another one- but no clue what was different between the 2 - aside from one was correctly exposed, and one is clearly not - seemed like the flash was out of sync with body somehow?
I have no idea what went wrong or what I did to solve it - looking to a community that may have some insight -
Thanks in advance!
James
