Double Image: What Happened?


 
 
What happened? I used a main light with a white umbrella, a hair light., an off-camera flash with my Canon Digital Rebel XT. Why the double image?

  Without actually seeing the images you mentioned, I'll just hazard a guess: It sounds like what you have is "ghosting", which can be caused by your flash units firing and your shutter speed is so slow as to record an image using ambient room light. OR, make sure your lights are all working and firing at the same time (assuming your umbrella and hair light are also strobes or flash).
Whaddya think?
