I went to The Flash Bus tour in Durham, NC last week. Got to meet Joe McNally and David Hobby, two of the pioneers of small flash photography. I had a great time, learned a lot and got their autographs. They were both very patient for being rushed by 400 people during the breaks!
Converted to B&W in Silver Efex Pro.
I just realized, that I never tested two A-mode flashes (each flash has its own sensor). So, I just did this. My flashes don't have 1/2 or /1/3 stops in A-mode, so I used full stops (I could have cheated the ISO setting, though). The test shows, that TTL provides more accurate and more pleasant exposures IMO. Please note, that the A-mode shots show MORE FILL LIGHT, which is detectable if you look at the background. If I were to use A-mode, I'd probably decrease the fill light, instead of increasing the key light! One sensor in the camera is better than one in each flash (not a huge surprise :-) ) No editing was done (JPG's), except crop and resize.
I believe that the test furthermore shows, regarding the TTL samples, and compared to my previously posted image of the boy: Using a steep horizontal angle of the key light - towards a "rim light position" - calls for higher + compensation for the key light. This can be explained by the fact, that a key light in a steep position hits less of the background, thus reflecting less light back to the sensor. In the samples with the ball 0 or +5 looks good. The boy (almost rim light) needed a + 1.5 correction. SO the difference between key and fill should be somewhere between 0 and +1.5 (apr. 0% - 300%).

this was weird. my finger accidentally covered most of the flash bulb, so only the tip of the pylons had the light hit them. Then in photoshop I did a simple automatic levels correction (nerd talk), and this is how it turned out. It desaturated everything but the flash area.
Reminds me of a mountain range at dawn, the way the sun strikes the peaks with light.

This is how he was sleeping under the covers... he started off curled up next to me but he soon starts to "uncurl" and stretch out.
I feel like I may need to blur out his privates though!!

You can see where you can solder the trigger wire onto. This may lead to other interesting projects. Maybe a double flash or adjusting the auto off time.
Be sure to not touch the capacitor if you havent discharged it with a resistor or something.
