Beauty dishes have a deflector plate, so there will inherently be a shadow area. As you move closer, the more noticeable this shadow will be. Further away, the less noticeable it will be, if not ...

Do you have any other wireless communications running near the light, like a wireless file transfer device? This could be causing interference at close range. Also, Canon flashes emitted an RFI ...

Sorry, I don't get the anger. First, I despise Apple, for a variety of reasons. However, They are not out trolling for iPhone images and snagging them unbeknownst to the photographer. The...

The race cars, one is a type of car that has not been raced in over a year, neither has the listed driver (#88 Dale Jr.) The other car, has not been raced by the listed driver in over a year (#20...

So are the race car photos 1.5+ years old, or are they retired and at a "racing experience" event?

Surely they could have afforded a gradual ND to get better exposure of the asteroid and earth. Does the internet have to think of everything?!

I had one shipped next day air, so I guess they can.

I'm not 100% sure they are (all) taken on location, at least not without a background. There appears to be a variety of lighting in use, and one set of catchlights suggests a narrow and long ...

Pretty much any single pin remote will work (assuming it functions, and not a dud). With that said, the latency may be longer with the ultra cheap remotes, which will slow your effective sync ...

I would have been OK, if it was 4 different images (or more) to capture each of the four seasons. But as one image, manipulated into four seasons,...meh.

The inverse square law refers to a point source of light. The smaller the light source (bulb as opposed to a softbox), the more it will follow the inverse square law. As distance increases, the ...

This is what happened with Wolf/Ritz cameras

Ideally, with a meter. The problem with GN is that it is modifier based. A single studio light, for example, will have different GN depending on the modifier used. A high output sports reflector ...

Were you in cordless mode, or were you triggering the flashes some other way? Also, this will largely depend on the types of light at hand. Not all Fluorescent lights will flicker, and will vary by ...

The flash meter would only not work in cordless mode, where it waits to meter until a flash pulse is detected. I guess it may throw off ambient vs flash ratios as well. In corded mode (where you ...

I have noticed Canon center pin contacts tend to be a little lower than other brands, making them more prone to contact issues with remotes and hotshoe adapters. One other thing to keep in mind is ...

The meter has "cordless" mode (which is different than "wirelees" which infers a radio). Set the meter to cordless mode, then press the meter button, and the meter is "armed" for 90(?) seconds. It ...

Yes, that would be correct. Unless the flash is dedicated, Canon cameras cannot trigger in rear curtain sync (like all others I am aware of). This allows for a work around for rear curtain sync.

Some of this is reiteration of what others have said, so take any repetition as such. It does look like you are using two sources of light with varying color temperature. With the camera settings ...
