Splash series setup

It ain't pretty, and publisher I am not, but the image does show the basic setup of what was going on.

I might add that none of the flashes were attached to my camera, what I did was set a 4 sec shutter speed and let the flash light the shot by activating it manually (press the red test button on the 580 flash). The second flash at the right would fire simultaneously because it was set to go off as a slave, meaning it would fire when it saw any flash at all.

It's also worth mentioning that I turned off the room lights so I didn't contaminate the shot with the orange tungsten color they give off, I set camera white balance to 'flash'. A light in the hallway behind me was far enough away not to matter, and it provided enough light for me to work things.
