From: Ken Durling Subject: EOS Interesting portrait setup
The pro photographer that has been doing the school portraits where I
teach has gone digital and showed up with what I thought was an
interesting combination. He was using a full radio-slave flash
set-up, and a D60 with the EF 35-350.
The radio slave is the most brilliant accessory thing I bought over the last twenty years, yes. While sync cords have long be replaced by various combinations of IR trigger flashes and Wein cells or similar, this is rather rsiky business if you want very sharp, accented light, maybe with the use of flags and gobos.
This also counts for Canons wireless E-TTL setup. With radio slaves, none of the units needs to be able to see you or another device, it simply always pops it's flash. In a crowd I have an assistant with a small battery powered unit run around in the background with a colored gel over it and create a colorful separation from the background that none of the competition will have. I can also tape this to a strut or so, if there's no assistant handy. The 35-350 on the other hand is not the sharpest lens in Canon's portfolio. It is rather versatile, but.... Hmm. Would I sacrifice quality for ease of comfort?
