Phottix released their Mitros TTL flash for Canon earlier this year, followed by the Nikon version, to very good reviews.
They have now gone one step further, and integrated an Odin transmitter, Odin receiver, and a Strato receiver into the Mitros flash, and called it the Mitros+ TTL Transceiver Flash.
Having a TTL flash with this functionality integrated into the flash unit means you no longer need to use separate triggers for each flash, reduces the complexity of a lighting setup, and reduces the amount of gear and number of batteries that you need to carry.

The Phottix Mitros+ for Canon is currently available, with a Nikon version expected in the future.



Phottix published a table showing compatibility between the various models of flash triggers that they sell.
If you are considering buying a Phottix flash trigger, or have some and want to know what is compatible with them, be sure to check out this compatibility chart.

• Fiddleoak's "littlefolk" series is a great set of images by a 14 year old consisting of people composited as miniatures in the real world. Check out his photos on flickr, his blog, and a tutorial showing how he created one of the photos. He has recently started a new series titled traveler.
• Dave Flynn's Mini Worlds is also a great set of photos showing tiny humans in the real world.
• Crafting scenes of iconic Americana is a flickr blog post featuring some great photos by Michael Paul Smith. At first glance, Michael's photos of mid-twentieth century America look real, but they are actually created using model cars on a table, with scale model buildings and real buildings in the background.
• Ben Heine's series of images titled Pencil vs Camera combine photography with hand-drawn pictures in a very unique and interesting way. Browse through his photos and see some of his work as featured on the flickr blog.
