Using two camera flashes, what do I need?

[Little Mele]

Following my disappointment with SimplyElectronic's failure to come up with supplying me with a Canon 7D, I have now managed to get a good deal at Jessops and am now the proud owner of the magnificent 7D.

Anyway, I'm going to use my new camera for badger photography but would like help in setting up two flashes, one on the camera and another probably fixed to a tree with a Joby Gorrillapod.

The guy at Jessops said he had a cable just over one metre in length, but this would not be long enough for my type of work.

Can anyone advise what cables I need to buy to trigger both flashes simultanously. Tips and advice on flash photography most welcome and greatly appreciated. Badgers are difficult enough to photograph !! Many thanks. Little Mele.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I should have said that I have two Canon Speedlite Flashes, but they aren't wireless. Vaguely recall someone saying something about a "slave"

[cosmicma]

get one of these

Flash Slave Trigger Wireless Hot Shoe Sync Adapter for: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

attach it to the bottom of your second flash and it will fire the flash when the 1st one fires

Do a search for 'cactus wireless triggers'. I don't use one myself, but I understand they work well with non wireless flashes.
