Last night I was out with a mate trying out our cheapo Cactus radio flash triggers and then going on to shoot a fairly recent Glasgow landmark, the M8 Horse:









These are a couple of the wireless flash trial shots:





For those of you who are interested, the V4 version of the Cactus triggers is far more reliable than the V2s than I have.

Really like the shots of the horse - I didn't know you could get up close to it like that.

Is the flash remote-mounted on a tripod then, or what?

You have to go into the industrial estate but you can park quite close and walk the rest.

The do have a tripod thread on them but we were using the flash on a monopod as it's easier to play around with the height, angle, etc.
