Re: Nikon SB800 - How to reduce flash output without undrexposing shot ?
How about a bit more detail as to the ambient conditions?
When working on indoor portraiture for instance, I could not get a shadowless illumination without using two studio flashes and the on camera flash diffused.
The long and the short of it is, light will not pass through solid objects so, will cause shadows.
If you are snapping away indoors you really should bounce the flash off the ceiling or the wall but even then you will see "under nose and chin" shadows.
Given your set up, I would tripod mount the 800 at a fairly obtuse angle to your subject triggered by wire or some other remote method and then use the on-board flash, diffused, as a fill light.
