So seeing some of the pictures its clear that some of you are using off camera flash techniques. what are you using for triggers? anyone try to pocketWizard mini/flex yet? Im worried about the range issues they seem to have.

ive got a 580ex2 and want to get into the off camera stuff.

pocketwizards. 1600ft range. :D
i just got 2 of them on ebay for $337 shipped. im kinda new at it, but i hope to make some progress this summer. i also ordered a lumopro flash, which has an optical slave. it can be triggered from the light that other flashes produce. it gets flashed, and fires at the same time. so it can save some money on triggers. might be something to look into. right now i only have my 430ex with a pocket wizard to fire it. havnt had much of a chance to really use it much. im waiting for my lumopro to show. 2 is better than 1. :D

but grant has 4 pocketwizards and 3 flashes. the shot of the beer bottle was lit with his new alienbee B800's. they have optical slaves built in, just like the lumopro. i'd imagine he used the PW's to trigger them though.

ttl is lame I'm glad my regular pocketwizards are obsolete now cause that means they will be cheaper. I'd stick with the normal pocketwizards if I were you that way you can learn to light with the flash manually and not let the camera decide what your shots look like. :thumbsup:
