Using your shoe flash style speedlites in wireless TTL mode gets better and easier every day. Now it's possible to use smart and simple wireless triggering options to shoot client pleasing portraits and event coverage images using TTL exposure control, non-TTL exposure, and even BOTH on the same shot with no concern for "line of sight" triggering problems. The boundaries of using wireless TTL have now moved into the mainstream and allow you to expand your lighting skill by using the tools you already have in ways you may not have ever seen before.

Spend 60 minutes with us and learn all this great pro and emerging pro level info:
• New ways of using your shoe flash off camera with wireless TTL and
non-TTL exposure.
• Working two TTL speedlites - one on camera and the other off camera.
• Will's smart new two light TTL event coverage setup using two speedlites.
• How can you mix your TTL speedlites with non TTL flash and strobes?
• Shoot with Nikon / Canon TTL speedlites and Qflash without any triggering troubles.
• Building a BIG shot using TTL speedlites, Qflash and studio strobes all
working together.

Learning how to get your gear to work correctly is easy once you know how and no one is better at it than Will Crockett.
