So I learnt a few things shooting comic con at the weekend (for my own enjoyment)
Using YN-E3-RT with 2 x Canon 600EX-RT on Sony A7S
1) A beauty dish is much easier to manage in one hand when not on a monopod
2) I forget to increase ISO for small group shots, as this would be easier than trying to change flash settings manually
3) I forget to increase ISO for people with darker skin or predominately dress in black
4) Battery replacement, waiting for the odd flash recycle causes me to miss shots and bail out of some photo opportunities.
I've seen from profoto threads professionals might not be so much of a fan of TTL and call it a consumer gimmick, but I think it would be pretty ideal for what I'm doing.
It would mean having to use my 5DM3 though, as TTL isn't support on Sony.
The lighting system would also be a good investment for weddings, indoor and outdoor portrait work.
I love the look I get from my Kacey 22inch Beauty Dish, but bigger and better is good too!
So other than Profoto B2, are there any other suggestions for me to look at ?
Cheers
