[QUOTE="Revet, post: 222668, member: 17612"] OK, I think we may have found a solution. We have 3 nikon camera's and three speedlights coming. We have my D3100 which I know very well, we also have an A50 and a D90 coming (both owners of these only use the Automatic setting on the camera). We will have 2 SB 600's and one SB 700 for the flashes. I believe the D90 can command the 600's and 700. Is that correct? I'm not sure about the A50. If neither can be commander and send out an infrared signal to trigger all the flashes, not need to reply. However, if we can use the D90 or A50 to trigger the flashes off camera (without purchasing a radio transmitter) give me your best scenario for placing the 3 flashes in relation to the large group. I can also try to bounce the three of them if you think that might be feasible. I can get them as high as we need with a camera unipod or tripod held up in the air. The camera can be high using the step ladder or a tripod on chairs or a table. The more I think about this shot, I think it needs me at the camera instead of in the group with a remote trigger. Thus i can rapidly get a bunch of shots. Then I can add myself in latter in photoshop (of course leaving room for me in the picture with each shot). Let me know what you think [/QUOTE]
