This was the first shot I've ever taken with an off-camera flash. Michael had his EX580's and gels with him today, and I got to try them out. The flash is behind the furnace door pointing inside, and through some miracle, it was still triggered by the Canon IR thing.
I called this 'Beginner's Luck' because I really liked how it came out and it seriously was the first shot I took using the flash. Every one after that seemed to get worse - I couldn't get the flash to trigger most of the time and still have it not visible in the shot! Plus I don't know what I'm doing with any of the settings on the flash :D This really motivated me to buy my own flash and other lighting gear though!
