@Clay: for this kind of stuff I always set my flashes and camera on manual. I mostly use an Nikon SB-24 and 3 Vivitar 285HV’s and trigger them with Pocket Wizards.

@Nick: I don’t remember the power setting, but I guess it must have been around 1/4 or 1/2.

hi,

just curious whether you had the flash on manual mode or if it was on auto, and what power setting you were using, i.e. 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, etc?

Thanks
Nick

i see that you are a canon shooter (like myself)….
what type of flashes are you using? i noticed that you are using pocket wizards to trigger them…..does that mean the flashes are not using TTL? manual power adjustments instead?

i like canon but have found the IR canon triggers to be problematic (line of sight, etc..)

thx

Bert,

Many thanks to you, your assistant, and the lovely Kim, for the entertaining and informative videos.

I’m just getting started in this off-camera lighting thing, myself. You are all helping to keep my inspiration up.
