I'm thinking about getting one for outdoors. Tell me how you are using yours.

As of right now, I am using them in full manual. I just used them for the first time the other night when I was shooting in a parking garage. I did a quick set of test shots at different power settings. I used one in an umbrella, and another one behind the subject for some backlighting. For some reason I have not even tried it out on camera yet, which will also be amazing I'm sure. But If you do get one, I also suggest you get the remote triggers for them for placing them around your subject....

I use mine for wildlife photography and I use it in ETTL mode most of the time. When the subject is farther away I use a Better Beamer with it. It really helps with back lit subjects and will get a catch light in the subject's eye.

that is pretty much the only option for Canon, I haven't seen another flash that could compare to it =)
