Flash.

A few days ago I had every intention of using two flash units alongside the splashart kit. I have both Canon and Sigma units that would be fired by wireless transmitter. When testing both flash guns only the canon would fire. On checking both receivers all seemed ok with the battery level lights. It's been bugging me all week as what could be the matter with things and was even about to buy a couple of Younguo guns. Decided to have another go this morning. Put freshly charged batteries in both receivers and to my amazement, both guns fired. It appears that last week when the Sigma gun did not fire was that although the receiver was showing go there was not enough life in the batteries to fire the flash. I was chuffed to bits with the situation so got the splashart kit set up and got going using the two guns. Took around a hundred shots and came up with some great results. I liked the one in my gallery followed by this one .......
