Thank you very much njw. What you are saying makes a lot of sense. Just one small point: I own a 420EX not a 430EX. The 420EX is all automatic, not manual, so I guess I will have to sell it and purchase a 580EX or 430EX instead. I really appreciate your comment, it was extremely helpful and probably the best advice I've received in a long time.

If I understand this correctly, you are using a third party replacement for the ST-2 on your body, and trigger wirelessly the other flashes attached to umbrellas/softboxes?

Thanks,
GTA

PS: your pictures look gorgeous.
