what is that (0:44) blue tape looking thing on the transceiver?  and what is it for? i almost always see it when i see behind the scenes photo shoots even with other photographers

[Brandonw365]

I've watched all your Confessions vids, i like ur photography style, especially your portraits

[ThienVNguyen]

u are a pro when it comes down to flashes!!!

[mathieuemi666]

@uuuaaahhh2007 Well, if you've got time and a model, you can simply set everything by hand.

I know a lot of photographers using old flashes from different brands, and of course they can't trigger every setting on camera but set everything manually.

Photography with strobes doesn't allow for changing angle and subject position every 2 seconds, so...

BUT, (E)TTL is vital when using the mounted cobra flash in social photography, photo journalism, etc.

Reflectors are also very useful in daylight!

[uuuaaahhh2007]

Looks as if you didn't use ETTL - is that right? I guess "the helping hand" has made all the flash adjustments manually .... is that correct ?

By the way, if i am outside and am shooting using the flash as you do without having a helper with me, i would tend to use ETTL solutions. Do you agree or do you have another great tipp&trick for me ... for us .... ???

Thank you all the way for your sharings.
