This was my first real experiment with using my 580 EX II's
The lighting set up is simple. Three strobes
One to either camera left or rigt and two
on left and right slightly behind model
The biggest problem I found with the set up isconsistency. The strobes would not all fire consistently
using the ST-E2 Transmitter
The above photo was my favorite of the shoot,
although I'm not particulary happy with hand
placement
I'm confident with Pocket Wizards and external battery packs this set up would prove quite adequate

Love getting all that information on your blog post - thanks for sharing! Great photos too!
Cool post and images. And yes the pocket wizards will make that setup Rock!

cool shots scott. yeah i've played with 3 nikon speedlights, but found i definitely want to use some pocket wizards to fire them instead of line of sight....
Scott, PW's will definitely help get around the line-of-sight issues and will also allow increased distance between flashes and camera when working outdoors. Check out some of Bruce Dorn's lighting "gadgets" at www.idcphotography.com that can come in very handy.
