Hello,
I have a wedding to photograph which is pretty dark so I expect higher ISOs than normal etc but the problem I have is how to approach the wedding with the equipment I have. I have invested in pocket wizards (TT5s and the mini TT to control my 580ex and 430exs) off camera but should I leave a flash on my camera and lose the ability to quickly change the power output from my pocket wizard device on all the flashes? or keep all the flashes off camera and position them where needed for each shot?
I shoot alone so the thought of moving the flash on a stand off camera all the time seems a bit much but does offer the better light. I can then control the output of all the flashes from my camera which I love. I just wonder what other people are doing or if they have overcome this issue in some way. I shoot with a canon 5d mmii and 1 of my flashes will have a rogue flash bender attached to soften the light.
My main thoughts are on the ceremony itself if all the lights are off camera - will I lose a precious shot while moving a light?
Any advice much appreciated
Thank you
