It also allows the light to travel farther and more directly so I can isolate the subject a bit better.<BR/><BR/>The radio triggers save your cameras battery life for one and I need my set to last 8 hours sometimes and it's just easier to push the wireless triggers. It also provides a little better range and I can do cool effects like placing the flash inside of things like speakers, boxes, behind the bar and the built-in wireless isn't as flexible, but is an option. Lastly, the Pentax built-in even set to commander only still puts a little light onto the subject in the form of a second catch light which I'm not fond of.Codiac2600https://www.blogger.com/profile/08729798108844660565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609941359154309752.post-75445457439524302792007-12-10T07:17:00.000-08:002007-12-10T07:17:00.000-08:00Hmmm, have you tried triggering it with the on cam...Hmmm, have you tried triggering it with the on camera flash? On the one hand it would free up the hot shoe for you to put the 540 on there if you feel like it, but it may also make the subject blink.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772713081196231557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609941359154309752.post-8545300959841151282007-12-09T21:30:00.000-08:002007-12-09T21:30:00.000-08:00Good tips and interesting videos.

I'm wondering why you open front (or back) flap in the Whale Tail - I found that it gives really harsh light and I don't like it in most cases... Could you tell me what is the advantage of using radio triggers instead of original wireless flash? I'm getting rather good results using camera in M mode and 540 in wireless P-TTL on rear curtain slow sync...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551606139450848575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609941359154309752.post-82870504604779522872007-12-09T15:23:00.000-08:002007-12-09T15:23:00.000-08:00Great photos and video commentary.
