PocketWizard's Mini TT1, Flex 5 and AC3

In this picture, I was shooting in open shade with a bright background.  I set my f-stop to f4 and adjusted my shutter speed (1/160) so the background was slightly over exposed at ISO 200.  This would have left the main subjects image to be dark, but to camera left by about 10-15 feet, I used an SB900/FlexTT5 slave to add light back to the subject.  In my initial setting, I set the slave to -1.5ev, but when I looked at the image, the subject needed more light.   I simply dialed up the light with my SB900/MiniTT1/AC3 so the slave was set to -0.7ev on my D700 and took a second shot, as shown above.   

You can see the catch-light in his eyes at about 11AM and the modest short lighting.

It is absolutely wonderful to be able to adjust strobe output with the MiniTT1 and AC3 in either TTL or manual mode without the large bulk of an additional strobe on the camera.  This picture was processed through CS5 and then Nik Silver Efex Pro
