TPF Noob!
I've done some research on the internet and this forum but haven't found a thread about this specific question. Apologies if it has been discussed before or if the answer is super basic and I am just unable to figure it out.
Basically I am looking for a way to set up a flash on a light stand and remotely fire it INDEPENDENTLY of the camera. I do a lot of long exposure shooting at night and want to figure out a way to activate the flash when I need it during the exposure. Preferably with a wireless remote of some sort. I have a Cowboy Studio remote flash setup but from what I can tell it has to be hooked to the camera and then used as a slave to fire the remote flash. I want to be able to fire the flash completely independent of my camera. If it helps any at all in the discussion I use a Canon 30D camera with Canon 420 and 580 flashes at my disposal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
