Today, I messed around with my flash to take photos of my church's guitarist, Phetsamai.
I attached my flash to my tripod and placed it around the room, which was lit by relatively dim fluorescent lights.

Unedited shots:
Shots edited in Lightroom 5. Most of them are in black and white to prevent colors from distracting from the lighting.
More Research at Kenmore Camera
I went back to Kenmore Camera and returned the slave hotshoe that they sold me a couple weeks ago, which I didn't need since my flash can already do what that device did. Then I asked Tom about what he thought about the sync issue I've been having. We took out my speedlite and camera and ran test shots, and came across the same issue that I've been dealing with.
Tom was unsure of why this happened, and he wondered if it was just a compatibility issue with Pentax. I asked if there were any other options for sync, such as using cables. He talked about PC cords, but I would have to have a hotshoe-PC cord adapter for my camera. Unfortunately, they were out of stock of the component I needed, but at least I know what to look for.
Total time at store: 30 min. Travel time was 40min each way.
