    Advice about su800 vs pocket wizard

    I have no idea what you are doing but this should work everytime. The thing I love about CLS is simplicity. If you go into your speedlight control menu on the camera and post a photo of your settings I'm sure it will be something really simple. Honestly, dont give up on CLS. I use it all the...

    Any Strobists Here?

    I was asked to take a speedlight class and this was my final shot. Used D300 with SB910 on CLS. 1/3200th, F5.0, ISO 200. The SB910 had a 1/4 CTO and snoot on it. I didnt have access to a studio at the time so this was shot in a classroom under normal lighting.

    Decided against an SB-700

    I guess by using speedlights i am keeping it compact and I am using nikon CLS which I would imagine would not work with monolights. As for the YN-560EX. So far I have had no issues with it at all. It works perfectly with CLS and syncs up to 1/320th. This is my first time trying out the...

    Decided against an SB-700

    CLS with the D300

    When moving to Nikon one of my reasons was the CLS. I have been using it on the D300 and loving it but lately have been noticing it not working correctly all the time. I have only one nikon speedlight, an SB910, so am using the pop-up flash as commander. Obviously i know there are limitationg...
