Getting ready for son's senior pictures. Had to check out the new 580 EX II. I can't wait to try this with 430 EX as slave. Hope I can produce some good pics before wife gets bill.

The reason to have a 580 is the wireless master features, or the ability to take a CP-E4 battery pack Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

I plan on doing a lot of portraits next year for my daughter's softball team. Want to try some formal individual shots. I am also getting ready to take son's senior pics. We have alot of remote locations in mind and battery pack will certainly come in handy. Think I'll wait on the battery pack until I break the news to wife about new Flash. Canon 40D, 5D MK II
