Wireless Flash Triggers

After having my eye on a set of Pocket Wizards for so long, I finally came to the sad conclusion that they were simply too far out of my price range considering the immediate use I would put them through. You see, whilst I'm an avid fan on off-camera flash, it is a relatively new area for me. It'd be similar to someone who thinks the photos they take with their point and shoot camera are so-so and then shelling out for the top of the line 1D Mark IV or similar.

So after messing around with camera cords (which provide ETTL, but simply aren't long enough) and getting rather frustrated, I finally went out and purchased a set of Cactus V4 Wireless Flash Triggers. Now, I'll get a review at a later date, but their quirks aside, the freedom from cords is fantastic! I've only a single flash setup, but it's so much more useful than having it stuck on the camera.

So my first day with them was spent chasing the dog and the cat around, both of whom became really tired of me after a while. Fun times and more to come!
