[QUOTE="daredevil123, post: 110935, member: 11958"] One more thing to add... Since CLS needs line of sight, if someone stands in the way between your remote flash and your camera, reliability goes down. So it is really not the optimum solution for weddings where people move around a lot, and things happen fast. Going the radio way is the better way. CLS is better when you are doing setup shots like posed portraits etc... For my personal work, I most often use manual triggers or Pocketwizards FlexTT5/MiniTT1/AC3 combo when I need TTL functionality. THis is one I shot using CLS when I was teaching some folks how to use it. Shot with D700 popup as master. SB910 into small beauty dish gridded on camera right high, SB900 subject left as kicker. And in this case the popup flash power is set to zero ("-") so it does nothing to add to the flash exposure. [IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8035/7959822520_df2bb1c28d_c.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
