Honey...eerrrr I flushed the Flash!

I have been using the Pocketwizard Flex TT5 and Mini TT1 for a while now but for ETTL only. When PocketWizard came out with the tutorial on how to use the Flex and Mini manually I was so happy as I wanted to shoot as well with full control of the light and this tutorial helped me.


Here is a sample of my self portrait using two 580 EX II.

For the set up I used 1580 EX II to light the back of the toilet bowl with full CTB gel and one 1/2 CTB gell at half power and inside the bowl I used 580 EX II bare at 1/16. I prefocused using the toilet brush and put the lens on manual and mounted my camera 5D MK II on a tripod.

Here is the shot





Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100
