Flash for Action Photography I use a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. Recently I have started shooting a lot of horse shows both indoor and out. I need a bigger flash... What do you all think of the SIGMA SUPER FLASH? It says it reaches 165 feet. I don't want to have to deal with a lot of bulk. So I was considering the Sigma or the Canon 580 flash.

Hi Jamie, You might want to consider the Quantum T5D strobe. Expensive, but TTL automatic and very powerful. Thanks, John Siskin

Before getting a more powerful flash, ask if t would be allowed at the horse show. I shoot highs chool sports and there are restrictions about using flash. I'm cluless about horse shows but is there a possibility that they may say No because it could scare the horses?

Flash is allowed. I just started doing Horse Show Photography this year. But I have been showing Tennessee Walking Horses for 12 years.

Meant to add, I would ask the other Horse Show Photographers for advise on this but they are rather snooty and afraid someone might take there business. I made the mistake of asking two of them for advise on my website earlier this year.

If the others are worried you will take their business, They are probably not very good. Your only option is to TAKE THEIR BUSINESS ! and become the best.

I've been trying to build a good portfolio. But the last photos I took, unfortunatly the WB was still on flourescent so the pics do have a little bit of a blue shade to them. http://photosbyjamie.photoreflect.com

Did you shoot in RAW? If so, the WB won't matter.
