Today's #onephotoeveryday is a bit late, as it's already long past midnight. I just spent almost three long hours trying to find out how to remotely trigger both the camera and the flash in a way that they both sync.
Seems I just can't figure that shit out.
Yes, it is a piece of cake if the flash is mounted on the camera, but if both the camera and flash are on separate receivers, and I try to trigger them via the remote transmitter, the flash will always go off before the camera catches up.
It also works nicely if the transmitter is on the camera, and the flash is set as a slave. But for the life of me I can't seem to be able to set them trigger simultaneously if both are on separate receivers.
Does anyone know how to work this out? Do I have to use the on-camera flash to trigger the external one as a slave? And how should it work if my camera didn't have an on-board flash, like most of the professional cameras don't? Would I need to buy a second flashgun if I upgraded my camera body some day?
Well whatever, I'll go with this nice photo I took of my fine subject: A Kit Lens, Canon EFS 18-55 mm. Since it didn't have that much colour anyway I made it entirely a black and white photo.

Btw. I dislike the 5 tag limit.
