Lighting -- What am I doing wrong?

to unhook them for subsequent pops (on the same exposure).

I am getting into this discussion late in the game, but I wanted to

address your statement. If this is regarding your 550EX locking up

after the first exposure, it is most likely due to shorting out the

pins on the bottom of the flash shoe. you need to isolate these from

the grounding plate of your flash-shoe adapter. I use a piece of

mylar, making a mask around the central pin, and can multiple pop my

550EX's all day without problems.
