Back to the OP - I use reflectors and just go with whatever settings I want based on the ambient light. That way I'm not limited by sync speed.

But you can't lower ambient with reflectors like you can do with strobes..

Bobby, what ss are you using for both?

Can't check exif here at work but it should be present in the pictures. Most probably around 1/200 as I was using 5d for one shot and 1dmk2 for the other.
