using EXPODISC with alien bees strobe lights ?

the strobe lights (alien bees) are the only lights all others turned
off no florescent to mix with them .
to do a custom white balance with the canon 2od should i stand where my
subjects will be standing and do a custom white balance with the
expodisc on facing towards the lights
(1 main the othe fill ) or where i wll be standing taking the pictures
?.

Nothing changes in the way you use the ExpoDisc, point it at the light
source for WB calibration.

Except he'll get a white balance for the tungsten modelling lights, not the
5500K of the flash tubes.

True. I'm running under the assumption that he already knows the
difference
and would have set the flash(s) to trigger when setting the WB.


I don't think a dSLR has fast enough response time to do a flash white
balance.
