I'm connecting an Alien Bee light to my Canon Rebel, and it's really not working... I know that it's because the flash on my camera fires before the shutter, causing the Alien Bee to fire, causing it to be finished firing before the picture is actually taken.
I just wanted to ask what you all thought the best way to sync the camera to the light is (radio trigger, hotshoe to PC cord, etc). I have the sync cable that came with the Alien Bee, but it is not directly compatible with the camera, so I'll need a hotshoe adapter. This means that I would not be able to have another flash on at the same time... Would this be a problem? Does it make more sense to get the radio trigger or the hotshoe adapter? Could you all help me by sending a link to what you think I need to get on Amazon or Adorama or something? This is driving me crazy!! Thanks!
