Does anyone notice the shadow on the far right, that goes the entire height of the photo? Can anyone explain why this is happening? I posted the EXIF info on the photo itself. Please help!

If you are using two lights you should meter them both to f/8 if you want f/11 on the subject.. adjusting to one side or the other intensifies or lessens shadows.

im not quite following. I have older strobes, so theres no metering on the lights themselves I dont think. I can set them to full, or -2 stops, and thats it for intensity of the strobes.

You need a strobe meter; trigger the lights manually and separately, meter each, adjust output and/or distance so the balance. But I'm not sure that's what is happening here; I think one of the strobes is slightly out of synch, firing a tad too late.

Yes, this is what I meant. You can buy a polaris meter for around 150 bucks american. set your meter to corded (if you use a cord to trigger the lights), ambient, or set it to trigger with a remote slave. The meters are adjusted to ISO and Shutter speed. From there you either adjust the lights to your aperture (based on ISO and Shutter speed). or set your aperture to your lights.
Hope that helps.
Joe
PS since you are using older lights just move them back and forward.

| 1/320th of a second might be a bit too fast for your strobes. while I know little about this subject, In your place I would back the strobes up enough that I was shooting at least 1/200th at f/8. |

Yeah, Brennan has hit upon it. This has nothing to do with the strobes and everything to do with the technical limits of the camera. The Canon 300D can only sync to external strobes at 1/200th" and slower. If you dialed your shutter speed down to 1/200th", 1/125th" or 1/100th" you wouldn't get that vignetting. It is a physical limitation of the camera and has to do with how the shutter mechanism works on the camera.
