Into deepest Derbyshire to Higger Tor to meet with Catherine.
Weather was, let's say "challenging" windy, and occasionally wet.
Thankfully I had an assistant again today to hold the flash with the soft box otherwise it would have ended up in Castleton!
I shot on the Canon 5D2 bodies with the 16-35mm f2.8 L, 24-70mm f2.8 L and 70-200mm f2.8 L lenses.
Today flash was triggered not by the Canon ST2 but by Yongnuo YN622C and YN622C-TX radio flash triggers, these give all the TTL/Manual control that the Canon wireless kit provides but work with my Canon 430EXII Speedlites, which Canon's kit does not. And they cost £100 for two triggers and the controller. These units are not crappy reverse-engineered copies of the Canon kit, but well made innovative units in their own right and work beautifully, far more reliably outdoors than the optical triggered ST2.
I used the Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the the 12-40mm f2.8 PRO for a few images towards the end of the session, triggering the flash in manual mode with the Ebay wireless triggers, which work really well if you don't need TTL.
Again, really impressed with the OM-DM5/12-40mm F2.8 PRO combination, it is so easy and fast to shoot with.
Images processed in Lr CC as usual.
