p.1 #1 · How to trigger a remote camera from my camera with PW

Hi All

This weekend I am photographing fireworks at a wedding

I want to trigger a remote camera (camera B) via pocket wizards from my camera (camera A)

Since shooting fireworks will be on bulb setting with exposures 1-2 seconds

My initial thought is mount a PW on Camera A then have have the PW receiver attached to Camera B via the pretrigger cable

Do you think this will work - I'm in office at the moment so cant try out

Best
Jay

The triggering of the remote camera will work with the cable. Haven't done that personally but since "bulb" setting exposures require the shutter button to be held and released manually you may need to use pre-set slow shutter speed instead of the "bulb" setting on the camera.
