Must you have the flashes attached to the camera? If you use the pop-up as a wireless controller, then put one or two or however many flash heads you need around your subject positioned as needed. E.g., put a couple of flashes on light stands to either side of your tripod.
Or, assuming you are using a tripod, just use long exposures, f11 or f16 for DOF. Take two or three shots if needed for extra DOF, then "stack" them in Helicon Focus or similar. stan On Oct 21, 2013, at 8:24 AM, CollinB wrote: > Periodically I have to go out in the field (to the tear-down area) and do a > quick shot of a transmission case. > But using an on-camera flash just doesn't cut it.
