Radio Poppers

RADIO POPPERS are HERE!!  Muahahahahaha!!!!!!

Seriously, the Radio Popper flash controllers I ordered the other day arrived, and quite speedily too.  If you haven't heard of them, they are small units you add to your on-camera and off-camera flashes which convert the visible-light TTL control signal to a radio signal, then back again.  Sounds kinda geeky (my middle name) but it allows you to skip worrying about having you off-camera flash "see" the flash on  your camera so it can get its control signal.  This allows you to do things like hide a flash in the roof of a gazebo, or put it behind someone to back-light them or put it inside a box or cupboard and have the light shining out, the list goes on and on.  C'est tres cool!  I'll post a few pics once I get time to start playing with them.
