Flash setup advice for photographing badgers

[kilbey252]

Hi all

I'd love some advice about a flash photography setup which is great for photographing badgers at dusk/night. I'm shooting with a Canon 40D and already have a 580Ex Speedlight. Also have the much older 540 EZ speedlight which I don't think can even function as a slave unit - I can't seem to get it to do anything at all other than non-ttl flash when mounted on hot-shoe.

So, if anyone can advice on equipment needed and a rough set up I'd be v. grateful!

Cheers for now

On page 33 of the Sun, I said 33 not 3 a chap has photographed bats coming into his pond for a drink. The photo shown is something else, spot on focus and frozzen in action as sharp as you like. Theres abit on his set up serious money I should think but worth a look.

There's an interesting feature on photographing badgers on the DVD produced by wildlife.tv I think
