I love a mystery. I thought I had this one. The diffusion may or may not work. The strobes would fire either way. If the diffusion is an adequate they will fire too soon.

Modeling lights are a constant light some strobes project so that you can predict the effect of the flash on the subject.

Let us know how they turned out.


GUY?? Doesn't look like a guy to me.


you look like a well camera. kind of square aren't you?

A few posts ago someone mentioned disabling the red-eye pre flash. If the slave flashes are triggered by the camera flash wouldn't the red-eye flash pose a problem, it being the first flash to fire?


That was my point; you should be able to disable the red-eye flash, leaving only the main flash to trigger the slaves, which would be instantaneous.

You should have seen the one they made me take down. Actually I think this one's hoter, but don't tell anyone or they will make me get rid of her too. it's an odd sight. It's a family site, no kids or nudes allowed. Seems like you could have one or the other.

Champing, cute I had never heard that before I had to look it up. You've probably by now realized that you take on the ISO is reversed. I don't doubt it was happening we just need to figure out why. Were you shooting in manual mode? How are you triggering the flash? I'm not familiar with the 5100 but I didn't think it has a plug for external flash. You have to be careful if you're using a slave. The camera's preflash will trigger your strobes prematurely. if you were shooting in some kind of auto mode, Lowering your ISO may have extended your shutter speed, and those overexposed photos were the only ones actually taking full advantage of the strobe's output. If your strobes have modeling lights the higher ISO photos may have been made using either those or the overhead lights in the room.

On my z980 you can disable the pre-flash; I would assume the high dollar dslr's would have the same capability (the main reason I got the 980 instead of the 981 or 990 is that the 980 has a hot shoe; my zx7590 has a sync cord jack)

most of the entry-level Nikon DSLR do not have a PC sync. Also most of them will not allow you to disengage the pre-flash test pulse. That shouldn't be confused with the redeye pulse. The pre-flash test pulse is almost instantaneous with the main flash, hardly enough to notice. Just enough to screw up your slave's sync with the shutter.

Yeah hey my daughter has one of those Kodak point and shoot cameras that has a PC sync. I don't remember which model. Blew me away it was the only point-and-shoot I ever saw with one.

OK everyone I made it through the shoot and I feel I have some acceptable pictures. I ended being up most of the night with a painful tooth ache so between the shoot and dentist and bed, I have not really had time to get anything done with them. I will hopefully have a better day tomorrow and can continue with this. thanks to you all for your comments.
