Working with off camera lighting: Canon 5D Mark II, Cybersync, and various Nikon and Canon Flashes.

So I received my new (used) nikon sb 24 flash  (yes I know I am a canon guy), and the Cybersync transmitter and receivers , the light stands and umbrellas etc so last night I had some time to work with them and try to get the whole package working. 

To my surprise, it was easy to get the Nikon firing with my canon 5D Mark II.  I even was able to fire the Nikon light with my light meter hoocked up to the radio transmitter. 

BUT and it is a big BUT is I could not get my Canon flash the Canon 580ex hooked up to the system.  Of course canon does not use standard connectors to connect things to the flash so I had to go online and fine some kind of adaptor that would do the trick.  I found and ordered the adaptor from flashzebra.com

There will be more to come when I get all this working as I imagined. 

Stop by and keep in touch.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions.

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
