First "proper" outing with Pocketwizard Flex transmitter/receiver

[HIMUPNORTH]

After losing my old PWs I invested in the new Pocketwizard Flex transceivers.

It took me a little while to adjust to shooting in ETTL mode with remote flash and I kept thinking manual however once I gave myself up and trusted the camera/flash judgement and placed my preferences upon them things started to get good. A definite recommend if anyone is considering them.

Some shots from the day:

Looks good. Do they also give you high speed sync?

Fantastic series Gary I can really see the benefit of ETTL here, just the right amount of flash to add a little light to the scene, helping to freeze the action and emphasise dynamics. Quality stuff sir

I'm convinced a hotshoe could even be unnoticeably rigged to a vicars lapel.

Yes, they have this thing called Hypersync which allows you to shoot at faster than sync speeds then move on to High speed sync a la Canon. I could see being useful for wedding togs and portraiture. I am not sure it would have the required recycle time for sports. This said I did not move too far away from my comfort zone - maybe next outing.

Thanks for the kind comments. I have already started to think about buying a second set as ratios can be dialled in "on the fly". Perfect for situations where access to the flash may be restricted/limited. "wake up" functions work so you could set your flash up in advance and leave without fear of killing battery or not working when needed.
