Last Easter John<\/a> came to visit and shoot in the part with us. The saberproject <\/a>were training and we went along to shoot them. As always John had some new toys to show me (he suffers from G.A.S, gear acquisition syndrome) and always tempts me with his evil new purchase...PIXEL KING for Sony.<\/a> Now I’m not a big fan of TTL flash so then he told me hay try these triggers with TTL support I was like “Jeap ok TTL blaa blaa blaa”. I was wrong its actually a cool thing to have especially HSS support. .<\/p>\n

I have a lot of non TTL kit, manual flashes and mobile studio flash with battery pack etc and never really felt the draw back to doing it all manual. My only real annoyance was sync speeds outside, with manual flash set up I’m limited to 1\/200th of a second. In the studio that has never been a problem as I control everything, but outside ambient light could force me to stop down a lot more then I wanted to.<\/p>\n

Our flashes were inside a softbox, on a boom arm. I simply told John where to stand with the boom and only have to concentrate on aperture and composition. It really did simplify thing and I really got into the shoot.<\/p>\n
