Don I'm just trying out what can be done, don't you never experiment?

And to be honest what if you want to have your model brighter then the ambient light on a clear sunny day, you would need a lot of flash power

Why does it look weird?
These are taken with High Speed Flash sync and they look pretty to me.

Does anybody know if when you use a second P-TTL flash to trigger another P-TTl flash if you get a trigger flash or not?

Just thought about that I could use a F5P cable to trigger the AF540FGZ and let that one trigger another flash and all in HSS

£126.82 for a cable

hmm why is this cable only $67.45 in the US?
the funny things is someone wrote that's a high price on Amazon

Of course I experiment.

and yes, studio strobes have the power....

I wasn't putting you down, was just wondering why and what you were trying to achieve.......
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

You weren't putting me down Don, don't worry.
I was just sad I didn't had the flash power to do it.
Studio strobes would be a great solution but it's too big/heavy to carry around to be honest and portable versions tend to cost a lot

For €60/€70 (found a cheap shop) in total I should be able to get cabled flash set-up running with one flash, I would simply get a Metz 48 besides my current flash and that should do it.
A good thing is that you can control the overall flash power from the camera which could be helpful.
Also I ain't cheating the system so when I do get a 645D I could use the flash as well (keep on dreaming).
