Who here use either the ST-e2 or the Pocket Wizards to trigger off camera flash for wildlife photos (birds etc.)? I've been researching those systems but it seems pocket wizards as issues working with the 580exII. Can you provide the following info.

1. What's your setup? (RF or IR triggers used) Picture would be nice

2. How is it working for you?

Thanks...Al

triggers work great.....have seen mostly done on humming bird shots, but depending on layout can be used for almost anything.

if you go to PW site...it shows a new setup for solving some of their issues on the 580

Thanks Ironically, I have been investigating the PWs since I have acquired another 580...looking to do more creative things with lights.
