Pump Cups
No, its not a new kind of bra.... its a cool little tool I learned about when I shot the New Year's Eve wedding with David Jay in Santa Barbara. The Pump Cup will allow me to position my flash on a wall so that I can use my Pocket Wizard to fire it off-camera. It is much smaller and easier to bring to weddings than a lightstand. I can ALSO put another camera on it and either fire it simultaneously with the camera I'm shooting or fire it separately by pressing a button on the Pocket Wizard.
And who do you suppose got to play test subject? I love this shot of Ms. Olive - we did it with the 580EX on the Pump Cup behind her to create some lovely rim lighting, and a gold reflector pointed directly at her to fill in her cute face.
Here's the set up with my Canon 580 EX...I plan to also use this for my Q-flash and 20D. Its gonna be a fun year!!
