I almost put the remote trigger back in the bag. I didn't know whether to hold it or put it down, nor how to aim it or where to place it. I couldn't get it to trigger consistently. If I put it on the ground just by my feet, it refused to trigger. And when it did trigger, I kept getting harsh shadows and highlights in my shots--worse than if I just used the camera's built-in flash. I was frustrated. I almost gave up.
I gave it another shot. We tried a different spot. And that's when these happened:

Canon EOS 40D with Sigma 30mm. 430EX flash at the right just outside the frame bouncing light off one of the posts.

I'm glad I stuck with it. (Too bad I lost the receiver a couple of days after. Clumsy, clumsy me. :|)
