Is there an actual technique to blackout the background like shown using a flash?
Last but not least, I have been wondering how the white balance works, when shooting in broad day light using a flash: why do we need to set the WB on Flashlight and the day light is not taken into account?

Thanks for your help,

B0ss.
Both light sources need to be off camera to work:

Ambient(daylight) is controlled by shutter speed-flash by aperture. Out doors you could use your sb 800 and the sun as the two light sources.Ken
