Photos from the Photo Party
Everything in the party is soo perfect, and I guess everybody had a good time. That's what I like, everybody happy, which is rare to achieve. Thanks for everybody's coming over. Yann's Studio69 is an awesome place for shooting. He himself is a professional photographer shooting for Magazine Maxim.

Technique summary:
From the picture below, you can have an idea of how chaotic the place was :)
Yann, the owner of Studio69, lend us a Mono light. But unfortunately, my Canon EOS 300D DOES NOT have a sync slot for the light. I never check it before, and single-mindedly thought it must be there. So I found it at the last minuete, and had to set the mono light in slave mode, and use my interal flash to trigger the light. But even after I set the mode of camera to "M", I am getting inconsistent lighting results. I guess the ETTL lighting inside of the EOS 300D is too stupid to guess what is happening. I clicked only about 150 pictures the whole afternoon, and half of them are heaviely under-exposure or over-exposure, and I have to rely on photoshop to rescue them.
Comments
I found out the problem online:
"E-TTL uses preflashes (one or two, depending on the situation) and use of any optical slaves (e.g. Ikelite) is not recommended (see the Lite-Link website) regardless of whether you use an EX series Speedlite or another flash. Reason: the preflashes of the master EX flash may/will confuse the system."
Some one recommend me use a radio flash control, which can be found at ebay with fare price.
