I’ve been shooting a lot of manual mode off camera with manual flash settings with my radio triggers and tonight I’ve gone back to my ST-E2 and ETTL and I’m loving it. I don’t need to worry too much about compensations, f-stops and flash power. It was as if it was a point, forget and shoot. After saying that, it is still useful to know what your lights are doing and how you would control it.
In an interior environment it is pretty easy to make things work. But when you are on location with the light changing all the time its a nightmare. I think that’s where ETTL from the ST-E2 shine (no pun intended). However, when you don’t have any walls to bounce your signals across to your flash, its not going to happen either. What’s the solution. ETTL radio triggers.
