Hello, I bought a set of home studio strobe lights. These strobes are triggered by the built in flash on my Nikon D40. I tried taking pictures with and without the external strobe lights and did not find any difference.
The first thing that came to my mind is the synchronization of the shutter opening and the external strobe lights. As the strobes are triggered by the camera flash, is there a delay in lighting up the subject? Is the shutter doing its job even before the strobes are triggered?
Is there any adjustment required on the camera to get the full effect of the strobes?
