Tea time

Another filler entry to my blog.  I’m still trying the caption style within the images. This image was shot with 50mm f/1.8, with ambiance lighting, with the aperture opened at maximum aperture. On the other hand, I have ordered new item from Shashinki.com, yet again.

This time round, I decided to expand on the wireless flash triggers. I have lost my previous one, a YingHe Cactus which is similar to this Phottix Tetra, while shooting one of my recent assignments. Instead of getting a replacement in Phottix Tetra, I have ordered Phottix Aster, 1 transmitter 3 receiver. The Cactus PV-4′s transmitter is somewhat compatible with the Phorrix Aster. However, I was not able to define which channel to trigger from the Cactus transmitter (NOT Phottix Aster’s).

While searching for this model, I came upon this new wireless trigger by Phottix. It is said that this model is compatible with Pocketwizard Plus II 433 Mhz. This model is Phottix Atlas Transceiver, which cost RM355.00 per unit at Shashinki.com. However, it’s cheaper to order 3 units a bundle per order at only RM1,015.00, which is about RM338.33 per unit.

I’m definitely interested to order a set of Phottix Atlas. It is a cheaper alternative to Pocket Wizard. No doubt about it.

I shall take that into serious consideration.
