I shot in aperture priority mode and used exposure compensation (-2 stops) to control the background.</p><p>You can also use manual mode on the camera (leave the flashes on ETTL) and then just underexpose the background a bit. The flashes will automatically throw the proper amount of light on your subject.</p><p>Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!</p>SnapFactoryMon, 15 Jun 2009 02:09:08 -0000http://blog.snapfactory.com/on-location-with-pocketwizard/#comment-10905816<p>I feel like I am making this harder than it is, (and I did buy a pair).</p><p>If I want to recreate this, would I put the flashes in ETTL (no ratios, etc?) and then as far as the camera, I guess I can expose for the background in Manual? or are you using another manipulation of the camera (i.e. exposure compensation)</p><p>I like to do the whole "drop the background 2 stops" and light the foreground....</p><p>So can I do the camera in manual and use the flashes in auto?</p><p>I am embarrassed to ask...</p>JoeSun, 14 Jun 2009 22:12:45 -0000http://blog.snapfactory.com/on-location-with-pocketwizard/#comment-10820694<p>Mark, I was directed over her by the Pocket Wizard blog re your post. I've subscribed to your blog -- looks great, look forward to catching up with your work through it...</p><p>My feedback is similar to Pete's. I thought it was a great vid on a PW two-strobe set up -- thanks for sharing. But, without Pete asking, you didn't mention anything about how the PWs were set up to talk with the camera using E-TTL... I thought maybe you were shooting them on manual...</p><p>Look forward to our next installment...</p>Greg BeneteauFri, 12 Jun 2009 19:25:47 -0000http://blog.snapfactory.com/on-location-with-pocketwizard/#comment-10785848<p>Yes, that's correct. Just left everything on auto. No tweaking.</p>SnapFactoryFri, 12 Jun 2009 01:21:41 -0000http://blog.snapfactory.com/on-location-with-pocketwizard/#comment-10488210<p>Is this example shot with "simple" E-TTL extended via PW wireless gear, i.e. both flashes are firing at equal intensity?</p>Pete TemplinThu, 04 Jun 2009 12:26:08 -0000http://blog.snapfactory.com/on-location-with-pocketwizard/#comment-10436969<p>If only it actually was that easy with those things. My personal experience with them has been somewhat different.....</p>DanWed, 03 Jun 2009 13:24:48 -0000
