"SB-900 and SB-600 as slaves, underexposed Images ??"


Miami, US
          

Greetings to all,

The first 2 images I took were taken with a SB-600 0n the left side and a SB-900 on the right side. I was using my D300 at ISO 200 1/60th @ f 5.6 I was using both flashes in TTL mode and the master was my D300 set to commander mode with the built in flash set to -- with an IR shield. I tried different flash compensation settings and different aperture and shutter speeds but my results were mostly what you see in those 2 images. Could the sliding glass doors be causing this effect due to the light reflecting ? Also, When I placed both flashes directly vertical toward my white ceiling (Bounce), the images came out great. The 3rd image has that harsh shadow on the left. I had both lights at 45 deg to my model (Elmo) thinking that there wouldn't be no shadows, I guess I was wrong by what I see in my image. In this image the SB-900 is on the right side and the 600 is on the left side as you look at the image. Thanks to all for your help and tips in advance.

Sincerely...Joe
