Angelo .. you have it right there. That should work with the ST-E2 like you describe it.

Can you please assist me with the following question about off camera flash, and more so RATIO’s and FEC.
At present, I am shooting with a 1DSMK3, 5DMK2, 2 x 580EXII (one in a soft box and the other in an umbrella) with the STE2 as the master.
I am a little lost in the set up but believe the below scenario is the same.
I set up my two 580 as slaves, the first as A (main) and the second as B (fill/hair etc).
Now, I can either use the ratio button on the STE2 for different outputs OR
I can manually adjust the FEC on each 580.
The advantage of the ratio button is when working alone, I can do this from the STE2 and not run around like a chicken with my head cut off.
Essentially, is it the same principal either way. This being, the ability to adjust the ratio from the STE2 or manually from each 580.

It varies:
Sometimes I use the older PocketWizard Plus II units,
I now often use the newer PocketWizard TT1 / TT5 units,
and quite often I just turn the Master flash to point at the Slave flash and use wireless control like that.

It varies, but I always mention in the text of each specific article, what I use.

Here is the link with the specific flashguns I use, and accessories like radio triggering systems.

With my Nikon D90 I have found that the SB-900 flash can be fired with the built-in camera flash, even with the signal line obstructed for up to two stone walls, according to tests I’ve done, where I placed the flash at about 30 feet from the camera. I’m thinking of buying the Nikon D700 and want to know if the built-in flash of this camera act the same way, which for me would be helpful.

I found your blog a couple of days ago and am absolutely addicted. Every single post is thorough, complete, and extremely informative. I especially love the articles about flash photography. I’ve read a lot of articles on flash photography elsewhere, especially off-camera flash, but none have come close to the clarity of your articles. Thank you for sharing this great information with us all.

Hi there Jessica! I hope you’re doing well? :) Drop me a note if ever you stop by here again.

Aaaah, I’ve found the link to the Pro Studio Supply page.
