I saw how they did that in a Nikon seminar. I'm pretty sure you have to have a flash go off on the camera to trigger the other one.

You just fit the camera on the tripod and shhot your picture. There must be a small hole for a stand beneath the camera. If you dont get it, go through the manual. If you dont have one, Search the Nikon site.
All the best

You have extensive directions in your SB-800 documentation, including illustrations for suggested set-ups.
Yes, you have to use the pop-up flash to trigger the SB-800. You have to have the SB-800 set on i-TTL.
Go here and click on the link to download the SB-800 flash shooting techniques guide.
