I've been itching to try it out. Mike, would you mind posting your flash setup? I seen the technique that Mike used and yes he uses a monopod.

Funny you mention that because that is what I wanted to do and my client said he liked it this way. I showed him this and told him I was going to add a really cool sky and he said 'I don't want anything taking away from my home, and like this my home is what stands out the most.' I may do it just for myself. 1Ds Mk II, 1D Mk II, 50D, 40D, XT (for my son), 17-40L, 24-105L, Bigma 50-500 EX DG, Sigma 150 Macro EX DG, Tokina 12-24 AT-X, Nifty Fifty, Tamron 28-300 (for my son), 580ex II, 430ex II

I was just thinking, to get to those hard to reach areas to pop a flash would it be possible to somehow connect a flash to one of those remote controlled helicopter things that cameras can be attached to. Sorry, don't remember the name of the device and too lazy to look it up right now. I guess it depends on how hard to reach. Without the grid, I could stand at the street and light up a large portion of the house with my 580ex II (I didn't use any of those but I wanted to see how it would come out) I used the grid more for the plants and no grid for most of the walls. I was anywhere from 10' to 20' from some of the walls when I popped the flash. Then, in PS, I took the flash frame and used is as a layer. Then I used a really soft brush to shape the light effect as if I was standing closer. I would assume that you could do the same even on a two story home, just get back further, pop the flash over a larger area than you need, then shape it and adjust the opacity on that layer to make it look as if you were closer to it. It think it would be easier than trying to fly a helicopter with a flash attached....just my opinion. 1Ds Mk II, 1D Mk II, 50D, 40D, XT (for my son), 17-40L, 24-105L, Bigma 50-500 EX DG, Sigma 150 Macro EX DG, Tokina 12-24 AT-X, Nifty Fifty, Tamron 28-300 (for my son), 580ex II, 430ex II

I want to use this technique on a house next week. I just have on Honl 1/4 grid. It slides right on to the end of the flash and like I mentioned, I just hand held it. I used a wireless shutter release and two Cactus V transceivers. One on the camera and one on the flash I was holding. The wireless shutter release allowed me to walk around and hit all the areas without having to go back and forth. I did the first few and checked to see how they were coming out, then after than I just went through and lit up everything I thought needed it. Then, I did a quick scan on the camera of the images to make sure I got everything. I didn't do any kind of setup and shoot from the camera, that would take way too long to go back and forth like that. 1Ds Mk II, 1D Mk II, 50D, 40D, XT (for my son), 17-40L, 24-105L, Bigma 50-500 EX DG, Sigma 150 Macro EX DG, Tokina 12-24 AT-X, Nifty Fifty, Tamron 28-300 (for my son), 580ex II, 430ex II
