Good morning! I apologise if this subject has been beaten into the ground, but i wanted to be sure before using it tomorrow.

I’m syncing some profotos with some pocket wizard plus II transmitters to my rz67 pro II, 110mm lens.

I’ve got the pc sync cable and lens is set to “x” instead of “m.” Is it just as simple now as mounting the trigger to the hotshoe on the camera body and firing as normal? Just feels extremely tedious and of course, no way to find out until it’s too late

I’ve really struggled to “hear” my partner over the course of the time we’ve been together. Anytime we have a tough conversation, I’ve found that i listen to respond as opposed to listening to understand. I’ve realised it feels like listening to respond comes accompanied by defensiveness and pride. It may not feeel like it in the moment, but i think I’ve realized it’s a really selfish way of listening. And it’s almost as if I’m putting a bandage on the problem at large instead of working under the extreme pressure of my relationship failing to heal the issue and the hurt. Everyone has their limitations and i fear I’ve pushed them to their limits. Perhaps she’d have been more forgiving of selfish behavior if she wasn’t constantly feeling unheard and alone. I was always afraid of addressing the follow up after these conflicts. Very cowardly approach, but i remember being so afraid of hearing the issue wasn’t resolved. I mean how could it be so quick? I’m frustrated i was so prideful and selfish that i would rather sit in the feeling of knowing id hurt someone i loved than putting my feelings and pride aside to make sure they are okay and are healing. I say i loved them and did everything to show that i did, but i missed the mark when it always mattered the most. Why does ego come into play when I myself feel like I’ve got no guard up or nothing to defend?

TLDR; partner is at her limit because she doesn’t feel heard and I’ve come to the conclusion I’ve been listening to respond as opposed to listening to understand.
