As an adjunct to the Tangents blog, the intention with this forum is to answer any questions, and allow a diverse discussion of topics related photography. With that, see it as an open invitation to just climb in and start threads and to respond to any threads.
Mike Kelley has three excellent courses on architectural and real estate photography titled Where Art Meets Architecture, 1, 2 and 3. I have bought two of them and I am very satisfied with what I have learned with them.
Thanks Trev.
There is a TTL version, but I choose the manual version, although I have a question about my Interfit softbox, which I do not know what type of mount has.
I have understood that when a mode change is made in the E3-RT the next shot will be done with the new mode, but this is only displayed on the 600EX-RT after making the shot. This happens with both E3-RT, the Yongnuo and Canon.
After Zenon, Trev and Neil comments I decided to see the photo in a calibrated color monitor and actually the shadow is not red. It seems that it only looks red in the screen of my laptop.
Before shooting, I set the white balance to cloudy and shot…
To Zenon and Trev:
Thanks for your comments. I'll try again reducing ambient light one or two stops and increasing the flash.
The flash was ETTL, direct on camera.
And Trev, that cute little girl is my beloved granddaughter, whom I had to shoot b…
I understand what Neil did was the following:
1) With the camera in manual mode, using the camera's exposure meter took a measure of the girl dress, framing only the white dress. To the exposure achieved he added 0.7 EV using the aperture value, ie …
Neil,
I read your article about RPS Lighting Triple Flash / Umbrella Mount, which is fine with me, but I wonder how secure is the fastening of the flashes. You can change the fastening parts with Frio lockings?
To Trev,
Thanks for the link. That is the bracket to which I refer.
To Neil,
Thanks for responding. My interest in the bracket is because I have two flashes Canon 600EX-RT plus a trigger ST-E3-RT and I want to use them for shooting groups of 6-10…
Trev,
I found in B&H and Amazon some white satin umbrellas with removable black cover. These can be used as a bounce umbrella with black cover in place, and as a shoot-throught umbrella with cover removed.

I think I will be equally in both situations: home/studio and outside/location and also agree with you that Einstein-Vagabond should be better than AlienBees-Vagabond, although the latter is more expensive.
Thanks for your help Trev,
I now believe that my decision is between Cheetah 360 and AlienBees B1600 with Vagabond battery pack.
Based on your experience, what you recommend me?
Regards,
Thanks Trev for your answer, which leads me to wait for the CL-360, considering that this will have twice the power of the CL-180.
Also I'll wait for your opinion on the CL-360, after you try it.
