Why did you buy them if you don't know what they let you do? Serious question....

On another note, have you tested to see if they work with your flashes?

Maybe you just misspoke, but you need three in order to fire two flashes.

If you know how to use them, what are you asking?

LOL! This thread is like some sort of English comedy. Dunno why people just don't understand you. I do.

Creative? Look through the 'Two strobes' thread and see if there's anything you like. Think about one flash inside something (the fridge, a car, a closet) and one on the outside illuminating the scene.

I guess it's actually "Multiple Strobes" but there might be a Two Strobe one buried somewhere.
