Day Fifty One Setup Shot

Not much to setup when you're only using one light. To those that have sent me emails and/or left comments about what the heck do I mean by: Triggered by 580EX II on camera. Much like Canon's ST-E2, I'm just using the flash on camera as a wireless trigger for the other flashes. Sometimes I'll actually use it in the photo as fill (usually with a ringlight) as well as triggering the other lights.

 

Also when you're using a 580 on top of a 1D the max sync speed is 1/300 rather than 1/250 plus you can adjust the power of the other flashes via the camera's menu instead of going to the individual light.

 

HTH!
