Time to Give Away Some PocketWizards
The votes are in, and the July winner for the PocketWizard / Strobist "Going Wireless" contest is...
Ryan Allan.
Congrats to Ryan who took a skateboarder shoot / lighting demo and turned it into art. Not that art is required to win, but it just stood out from the other entries and was the unanimous choice for July's winner. His was chosen from those videos entered before the end of July.
Several other vids stood out, and they (like all of the other videos) remain in the running for future months. Get those videos in and tagged, folks. We had a total of 24 videos entered in time for this month's judging. Them ain't bad odds for a free set of PocketWizard Plus II's.
Little hint, there are over a hundred Strobist-tagged videos in the system which could be in the running for the coming months. All you have to do is add the tag "pocketwizardstrobist". Don't strain yourself with the extra workload.
Already have some fun stuff coming in this month, too. The earlier you get your videos in, the more chances you have to win.

I saw Ryan's video in the Strobist Flickr discussion a couple months ago and was really impressed, and passed it on to a lot of other people. Looks like he just added some explanatory info bubbles to fit the contest. Great choice.
As a video editor myself, I really appreciate the editing. I'm sure if I watched 2 hours of the sexy slow motion I'd vomit but 2 minutes was very well done.
Is there somewhere we can see Ryan's final photo in closer detail? I've seen the "how", and need to see the "what".
I would like to know how Ryan can shot the PW whith a flash in the camera. How the PW are activated??
Thanks and sorry for my english...
two vagabonds, and three AB1600s with pocketwizards?
i thought this was strobist!
DWP-
Now, now - this site does not discriminate against light on the basis of brand. And FWIW, some ABs are cheaper than some SBs...

Everyone knows David's tag line: Less gear. More brain. But remember, the latter trumps the former...
Ryan, great job!

I agree with Joe. Show us the final product. Hopefully in future contests the winning photograph is on display rather than a video (although how the photo was made is nice to see as well).
Hey Thanks guys!
Just got off a turbulent flight to a rainy New York to shoot an event that most likely will be rained out.
Stoked you guys dug the video. More to come soon.
Here is the final shots from that day on my flikr.

if you use the cameras pc sync port into a PW you can still have the on camera flash too. The only difference is you then use the miniplug jack labeled camera/flash not the flash jack for the PW on your camera.

oh, i know that some ABs are cheaper than some speedlights out there...
but in the video, he pulls up to the location with a big van, and unloads a whole bunch of gear.
i thought the whole idea of the site was to show that you don't need that kind of gear to produce a quality shot.
Welcome to Strobist
This website is about one thing: Learning how to use off-camera flash with your dSLR to take your photos to the next level.
...
Why small flashes? Because that's all you really need take the plunge into high-end lighting techniques.
...
See? You don't need all that heavy, expensive gear.
Maybe it's just me.
@DW
The fact that you can light very well with speedlights does not invalidate using AB's. Why arbitrarily limit yourself?
Learn to light with what you have...
