Off-camera flash with 2 flashes

I thought one flash was great, two is amazing!  I setup my wife's 580EX with a Lumiquest LTP (thank you Lumiquest!) and my 550EX with the Lumiquest III.  Set both flashes to manual mode and dial the power till I got what I wanted which took about 5 test shots.  That's it!  It's actually pretty simple to do.   I need light stands.  I was limited to placing the flashes on the table.  But for now I'm very happy with the setup.

Chris, those are awesome shots! They could be straight out of a magazine or catalog.

Tahnks James! I have to practice some more.

BTW I find a constant light source is still easier to use for watches or for anything shinny object. With the flashes there's a lot of trial and error and repositioning to reduce glare and reflections. You see all of this right away with a constant light source and can correct this much easier.
