When photographing weddings or events lighting is key! I typically alternate between the single strobe 580ex mounted on the camera or the offshoe flashes triggered by pocket wizards. I came to a conclusion that both are great in their craft, but both lack what the other needs.
Forexample; the offshoe flashes are stationary, so if your subjects not moving your in the clear! Unfortunetaly this hardly happends at any event or wedding!
The hotshoe flash is great because it travels with you everywhere! It's draw back is the light can be very flash and pretty boring!
What if you can use both! Well now I can
Here's my ghetto setup so far. I tried it around the house and it worked well, but I think it needs to be put through a real test.
**Works really really well if your lens has a tripod collar, but not all lenses have one
