Hey Guys,

Yes. These are using the strobes off of my Canon 580 EX. I was using one 580 in the umbrella and one on camera (aiming the light behind me to not interfere with the umbrella).

I am shooting manual flash because I found that the 5dii requires the 580 EX ii (Thanks, Canon) in order to get full E-TTL with it. As I just purchased the 580's prior to the 580 ii being announced, I was a bit cheesed. Shooting manually though is actually easier, LOL, as I get perfect exposures every single time.

It was essentially an 'standard' set-up, with the light being off at a 45 degree angle. I may start incoporating a 2nd umbrella and possibly a hair-light in the near future. I am really pleased with the results, and of course, I always have the urge to complicate things. :P

I got a call last night asking if I would be willing to help out with a couple of Huskys that got hit running by the road (and lived) the other night. Maybe we can raise some money.

James
