Haha so I was actually almost perfectly correct? Except my guess was 1d and 1 less speedlight up top(doing the same thing) that was a good guess

Prefer them for 2 reasons. They have sync ports on them so you dont have to use hot shoe adapter. Also at full power, their flash duration is much shorter than Canon ones. These ones are 1/1000 at full power.

Also , no the ranger was at very most half a stop down from full power. I usually use it at full though as it has it’s fastest duration at that power.

Whoa! Looks like I did use that lens haha. I must have been wrong. I don’t have it anymore so I forgot that I took it on that trip.

Interesting, your meta data said the guess the set up shot was shot on a 24-105… Yes I cheated on the guess the gear part but my honest guess was 5DMII on a 50mm(this was with out looking at your list of glass).

I could of sworn the key was your ranger but that was just because of the difference between the intensities between the rider and wall. I didn’t account for the dual speedlights. Even still, you must of had the ranger at what? 1.4th power?

Great diagram Dan. Curious though, I am just getting into using more then one off camera flash. Why use Nikon speed lights when the rest of your set up is Canon? Is it just what was in the bag our do you prefer them because of something technical?
