Canon Wireless E-TTL II

Received a few emails recently regarding my latest set of photos using Canon's wireless E-TLL II rather than my standard Gadget Infinity V2s. Some of them asked if I was leaving the poverty wizards behind or did I favor full automatic flash control.

 

Truth be told I still shoot my flashes in manual even when using the Canon system. Using Canon's system allows me to adjust the power via on camera controls. Which I think is pretty ace in itself.

 

I still use the eBay triggers but since my latest set has me indoors I just find easier to just mount one flash on the hot shoe and the rest on the stand and just control them on the camera itself.
