      Thank you!
      Before ordering my Elinchrom Skyports I wasn't that happy with them when shooting outside. The range of IR is pretty limited, especially in broad daylight and you always have to have intervisibility between the units. When shooting inside, they are pretty reliable, but nothing compared to wireless remote triggering. But since I've been using my skyports, I'm very happy with my sigmas, they have a lot of options for adjusting flash output and zoom ability. Hope that helps you ;)

      Hi Vikram, I placed them one on the lefthandside behind the tree and the other one on the right side in the grass. I think the one on the right side was on a tripod, therefore the shadow of the rider coming from the left side.
      But this is an older picture so I am not absolutely sure anymore.

      Really awesome photo. Found it on DPS website article on using flash with action photography. This set with the mountain biker spurred a lot of ideas I'd like to try with my two remote speedlights.
