The series of photos was shot with 2 wireless Sb800s installed in the upper gallery on the lighting rails of the theatre. For some shots only one SB800 was firing – kept wondering what the problem was but I could not go back up to check. When play practice was done, and I went to retrieve the flash units – the problem was clear. One SB800 was on auto-standby, and it would go to “sleep”. Since I was using remote flash triggers, these will not wake-up a sleeping flash until one shutter release – after the one “misfire” the flash would be alive would work if the next shot was taken before it went into standby again… must remember to run through the check-list fully next time! Though, because there was sufficient stage lighting and the flash was only for fill light – this little issue was really a non-issue eventually.
