My little photo room is only around 4m X 5.5m. I don't plan on needing big powerful full studio flash - however, I am still keen on experimenting with the wireless 550EX system - bouncing, softboxes, reflectors etc... I've shot a few rolls with my 2 550EXs, one on camera, the other on a tripod and used the flash ratio function. That is pretty impressive, working via the E-TTL system. I spoke to my CPS representative, and it is possible to use an infinite number of flashes in any given flash group (!) so I figure that even if I get a big softbox and it isn't bright enough, I can always stick a second or third one into the softbox.
Has anyone on this mailing list tried something like this? I'm more than interested in hearing of your experiences...or opinions.
