I have been looking through this forum for about and hour and half. I just purchased a 580ex2 to couple with my 430ex2. I have a 16' off camera shoe cord that I can use so that neither of my flashes have to be on my camera for me to use the ETTL.

I was looking at lots of pics using just one light. I would love to see the same here for 2 strobe setup - meaning where two are firing (I know a lot of people use their 580 on camera to trigger their other flashes so that would count here if it isn't firing).

I am trying to learn so info about the setup and pics would be great! Show off your skills!! :)

Two images of the same glass.

First taken with single 580 EX II tilted upwards, to use the reflection from the white ceiling.
The second with the same setup of the camera mounted 580 EX II, but augmented by a secondary 580 EX II slave, aiming directly at the back of the glass from the right side.
I don't remember the exact ratio between the master and the slave, though. That's not stored in the Exif data either.

I like the second one better.

The glass is nowadays empty...

Yes.... I definately like the second as well... a lot more depth and light. Makes that beer look even more appealing. :)
