Nice captures bro but hor some shots seem unexposed :think: Great efforts~!

 

[madmartian]

Good shoot! #2 could have fired the other flash from the front left of the js

Thanks bro! Still learning as I'm too used to single flash :bsmilie:.

Thanks Bryan! Yep, I realised that as well. 7D's pop up flash is not as powerful as 450D :sweat:.

Thanks bro! My other flash is the pop-up flash :sweatsm:. I'm looking to buy another 580EXII in another 6 months time.

Thanks glenn. Yep, you are right on the underexposure. I hope to get it right the next round.

Use the 580 as slave there & use pop up to trigger it

That's how I triggered my 580 flash together with the pop-up flash . With regards to #2, the 580 flash is on my left side (JS's right side) as the other side is blocked by leaves and branches, thus can't get good lighting if trigger from there. Maybe, I'm still too noob on dual flashes :embrass:.

Use a 3rd light, a torchlight:bsmilie:

Thanks Uncle James! Will try out with my Cree next round .

 

[loboclerk]

Use Cree Q5! heh.. should make a difference with 1/80s shutter.

Try to reduce the power of your slave, so it doesn't outpower your onboard flash by too much

Go buy a headbend one, 2 flash where got hand to hold torch. Got mine from NTUC about $22.

I'm not sure of my Cree torchlight model but I know it is very powerful. For my slave flash, it is at 24mm -4 steppings. I'll try to balance them the next round.

I have the Energizer headband torchlight. Bought from those shophouses which should be the same as the NTUC one . Really no more hands to hold torches liao :bsmilie:.

Tie it around the lens cause it can flip up, can be below or anyway position around the lens. Hope it help.
