I'm experimenting with my new Pocket Wizard mini and Flex rig at the wedding dances just now and loving the results. Here's my favourite shot from the double weekend photo sessions. 580EX II with mini on-camera (Canon 5D MkII) triggering Flex with the 430EX II on the remote stand. (looking at camera). Just love those shadows and hi-lights.

This is actually really cool. How was the 430EXII pointed?

THe flash is on a lighting stand, angled down (facing at the camera). The camera has a 580EXII mounted on it. (On top of the PW mini)

I like the shot too but you're right! the people in the foreground want you to look at them.

With the right framing, it could be great.
