Scott .. it would still be the same approach – try and see how much available light I can have register in the photographs, and use bounce flash for clean open light.

What would your approach be if the ceilings had been low (~13 feet) and there was not enough available light? Hi Neil, you commented above on low ceilings with enough available light.

You also say you triggered the two Quantum strobes with a trigger. Then where do you place that trigger? I guess the hotshoe of your camera is occupied with the on-camera TTL strobe? Or did I miss something... Thanks, Jan Hi Neil,

Alvin, you’d still have a problem in that the angle of the light coming in on your subject would be too steep. This top-heavy light would mean dark eye sockets. That’s just not flattering.

A room this big needed additional lighting.

The sync is so frickin' slow that you *have* to seek the light. You’re supposed to use a Leica when you ’seek the light’! The sync is so frickin’ slow that you *have* to seek the light.

Since there is already a person named 'Raj' on this board, I will use my other alias Rajan. I would be very much interested in your configuration and wiring of these Quantum flashes. Particularly so with the TTL flash on camera and simultaneously firing the two remote quantum flashes. Neil,
