z400central,
Looks like ambient lighting to me. On your table setting, I do not see a shadow under the large candles and it appears their light comes from above. The glass figurines show no hot spot nor strong shadow. Perhaps you bounced a flash off the ceiling.
The second image with the baskets, the light comes from low and toward the wall. There is a very soft shadow behind the backets, but not from the direction of the camera. Again, either ambient lighting or off-camera flash or bounced flash. It could be the Vivitar 285HV. It could be the 550EX for all i know! Particularly if you set this for manual camera mode and a slow shutter speed using E-TTL flash.
Final answer: ambient light
Cheers,
jim
Maybe a should have called a friend! LOL!

I hope you didn't mount the 20 year old flash to the cameras hot-shoe.
The trigger voltage of the old flash will be very high and 'could' damage the camera.

According to this site, my Oly FL40 is safe. In an e mail to Canon, I asked about this and they gave me the standard reply that they only recommend Canon accesories with their cameras.
I guess before I buy my 300D, I'll take my flash to the store and see if I can wreck their camera.

z400central,
Very good! Assuming the flash has a safe trigger voltage, I'ld sure keep it around! Is it an auto thyrister flash or strictly manual flash?
Good find!
