[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 544729, member: 11881"] Good suggestions from Woody. I'll venture into dusk night photography. If there is a budget, or this is a great opportunity to pick up some extra gear, come night you can get some cool photos and avoid high iso noise working in the dark. 1. Radio triggers: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-YN-622N-TX-RX-transceiver/dp/B00IVJ4J7M/ref=pd_sim_421_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=414BFcFy2sL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=09M4TW915ABBPGR13T87"]Amazon.com : YONGNUO YN-622N 1 x TX + 2 x RX i-TTL LCD wireless flash controller wireless flash trigger transceiver DSLR for Nikon D70, D70S, D80, D90, D200, D300S, D600, D700, D800, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D7000, D7100 : Cam[/URL] This will give you a dedicated trigger and two receiver transmitters. 2.
