Went out with some friends to do some night shooting and took some muzzle flash shots. Gear was Canon 5DMkIII, Sigma 24-35, two Flashpoint speedlights with wireless remote and a wireless remote trigger for the camera. The AR shots were done with green tip that provided a nice fireball.

Good stuff.
When you say 'remote trigger' do you mean something with a photoelectric cell that opens the shutter when it sees light? Forgive the newbie question. Sounds like something that could be used for lightning photography too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some folks do use light triggers for lightning, but the easier way is to just set an intervalometer (built in on prosumer and up bodies) and just set a long exposure. I typicaly use 5-8 seconds for night (wide open) and about 1 second for daytime (and crank that f way the hell down). This one was 2 seconds. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1797/43031773185_d542c94968_b.jpgLightning 20180808 by FredMan, on Flickr This one was 4 seconds https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1749/41646210105_12ec2e06eb_b.jpgLightning 20180601 by FredMan, on Flickr I hate that shit.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've never been able to get this to work. I set up a camera facing all the lightning, once I get it all set up, the lightning decides it wants to be elsewhere out of view. I hate that shit. |

Oh, I've got thousands of frames of no lightning. Success rate is probably well under 5%, but when it works it works! Quote HistoryQuoted:
