I'm having a hard time hearing what you say about the optical slave sync solution with the Broncos. How and where did you put the slave and did you use only one SB-800 as main light?

Great pic's and nice bts by the way.

@pixeleraproduktion thanks.

The optical slave is in the water. It's plugged into a sync lead which runs to the pack which is dry side and "waterproofed" using a plastic bag and some duck tape. It's held underwater by some small weights.

There was one flash on camera triggering everything and 2 more SBs in the water for fill. As the shoot went on there was more and more makeup in the water and the slaves didn't always fire.

Ok and thanks for your answer. I'm going down under first time next weekend and starting out with a large backdrop and the existing light. Have you ever done this with some kind of constant light solution?

Sorry for the late reply btw.
