SB-600 question

I'm having issues with my flash really washing out skin tones. I'm losing all my warmth. Not sure why I can't fix this problem, any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Are you shooting with a more narrow fill like 55mm versus a 28mm setting? Are you using a different type of exposure compensation like +2 or +1?

These are my first guesses...
 
"losing warmth" would make me think a color temp issue. Are you shooting on the wrong WB or custom WB? Any examples?

I know a lot of people prefer to shoot flash on daylight WB setting VS. the flash setting. Sometimes the flash setting comes across a little blue.

I wouldn't think of this as a problem with the SB600 as much as I would consider it a camera setting.
 
Nikon flashes are set at 5600k. Definitely check your camera setting.

Also, put a CTB on it, put your camera on tungsten and see if the whites are still white.
 
Um, I think mcgee meant to say put a CTO. A CTB would make it more blue and putting in on incandescent WB to boot would make someone look like a smurf. :D
