HI Guys,

Finally, after putting it off for so long I've finally indulged myself and got me a wireless trigger. I know some of you read and replied to my previous posts regarding wireless triggers' features and specs. I finally decided and got me the Phottix Odin. It's ETTL and HSS capable. It's actually very simple to use as I just attached what needs to be attached and snapped a few pictures at ETTL no less. Though, admittedly my pictures are far from what SEAN and the other strobists are posting I do somehow feel satisfied with my purchase and am excited to learn. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a focus assist beam.

Anyway here are a few pictures for you guys to critique. I especially need tips on how to position the light from the subject and how to soften the light.


here are a few of my shots:

So what do you guys think??? all were set to +/- 0.0 EV.

Thanks for viewing..
