Catching up on pics and this caught my eye, not sure if anyone corrected yet.
The SB-600 can do off camera fine. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/ittlslave.htm
oh, and Freebooter - great pics as always, macro is not my style, but I love the colors you get.
And Epicwelshman, the thistle and bee reminds of a Andrew Whyeth painting, great composition.
Not freebooter, but still...

Regarding the off camera flash thing: I think I need to clarify my previous post. I didn't say the SB-600 can't do remote in auto-ttl commander mode--which is what KR is talking about--but rather that it hasn't a SU-4 mode which allows one to do manual wireless remote flash with a camera (like the D70/50/40/40x) that does not have a flash commander. To do auto-ttl wireless remote with either a SB-600 or the SB-800, the owner of one of these cameras would need an accessory hot shoe commander (SU-800?) or another SB-800 on camera. To do manual remote flash, an SB-600 owner needs a wire or an accessory flash slave, but the SB-800 has one built-in.
Here's a post from DPReview that says it in a different way.
Not the best picture, but I thought it was cool how you could see it's tongue!!

Nice work! Acadia National Park is one of my favorite places in the world! I'll bet you got some great pictures..
Are the blurry areas a result of expert DOF control or is there post processing at work? I only ask because I am constantly in awe of your work and am trying to reach your level (one day)!
I would guarantee that it is expert dof control. That nikkor macro lens is very good quality.
I absolutely love the colors you get in your photos? May I ask how you get such great blues for the ski? What kind of camera accessories/post processing do you do?
P.S. Keep up with the amazing photos!
