Lightbox Product Shots Using Canon ETTL Wireless

[billrhea]

awesome video. Thanks this was a big help

[stanrose2]

you did not mention the aperture and shutterspeed settings...iso

[ctangtwn123456]

Thanks for showing me how to use the st-e2 with the canon flashes. The AB function on the st-e2 is cool.

[chiffyboo]

well, you've gone and convinced me to get a 430 EX II and an ST-E2 to go with my 580EX II

[gaiatezul]

Yay! If only I got paid to sell them ;)

[kvibetv]

what would i do without youtube =)

[imperialh8]

I love how you have about $3,000 worth of equipment...but a home made $0 of a light box.

[gaiatezul]

Oh it wasn't quite 0 more like 1 or 2 which is infinitely more expensive than zero! :)

[fallyhag]

Thanks for taking the time to post your video. Very informative.

[constadinos73]

Very good presentation

[RipBlock]

I just thought it's worth mentioning that the infrared signal is very unreliable in direct sun light and they have limited range.

The A-B balance functions look cool on the ST-E2, I'm tempted to get one.

Thanks for the demo :)

[gaiatezul]

Hey RipBlock -

I've actually not had the terrible issues that may people have with the Direct Sunlight issue.

[thehouseofnothing]

great tutorial!

[editorpc]

cool thanks

[jbrecording]

Very well done. I'm going to pick up an ST-E2 tomorrow! Your video explanation was exactly what I was looking for, something clearly indicating how it works in action.

[delasvegas]

just six words: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[gaiatezul]

You're Welcome!

Thanks for the hard-work brother. It was very helpful. I am planning to buy one flash for my 40D, and I will use it only off-camera. After watching your video I have decided that I need not buy the 580ex, but will buy the 430ex with the ST-E2 transmitter instead. If I feel the need for more flashes, I can always buy a 580ex later, or just buy another 430ex to use as a second slave!

Please let me know if you have anymore advice for me. Cheers!!

I have 580 2 and a 430 2 also, should i go a nother 5802 or a transmitter?or a 430 2 and control from 580 on camera?

Nick.

great video BTW

[gaiatezul]

Hey Nick!

Thanks for the comment. The 580 will do the job, but is much much more expensive. So if cost is not a problem go with the 580 as it can control 3 groups of flashes instead of just two. Let me know if that clears things up for you.

[whiteanthurium]

i want that reindeer. awesome how to video. :)

[gaiatezul]

It's just a Starbucks Christmas reindeer - It's now my defacto testing object for all my camera gear hehe.

[Metromadman]

great work, Question about the st-e2. Can you adjust the power output of the flashes using the transmtter? ie maybe using exposure compensation on the camera will tell the flashes to either boost power or reduce.

[gaiatezul]

Yes you can!

[echo1er]

LOL... Great! I just got my rechargeable batts.

[echo1er]

cool thanks for the reply.

one thing... what I never see on youtube is photographers using flash with a big group only a single subject. Would you like to to do a video on that.

[gaiatezul]

I'd be glad to, I have a number of people coming over for diner next week, I'll stick them in front of the lens for a while and record it for you :)

[echo1er]

Great Job on the vid. Question for the 580 can you use rechargeable batteries for the flash

[gaiatezul]

Thanks for the comment! Yes I just use Duracell 2650's in my flashes, they work just fine :)
