That's flash looking gear (if you'll pardon the pun!)

Hi James - long time no see
In my version of the manual for the Pentax AF540FGZ flash, at page 19 it states,
"When using multiple flash units set to P-TTL or TTL Auto and adjusting the amount of light at the same time, use the camera's exposure compensation".
Assuming I am interpreting this correctly, that tells me you can set the output for these flashes while off-camera, using the Ev control on the camera itself.
Hope that helps...
Edit - if by trigger however you're referring to a flash mounted on the camera, what I've outlined here is not what you want at all!

Set it to Av (Aperture Priority), and use the e-dial to determine the aperture size you want. Dial in -0.5 EV as well, as that helps to safeguard against the K-x tendency to blow out highlights. If you shoot in RAW, that will give you a little more latitude to fix up exposure that wasn't quite right.
Above all - read the manual!

The street funnels you straight into that sun - magic timing. Well done.

G'day and welcome, all that 35mm experience won't go astray with the K-x.

Right now though I'm a bit jealous of the cool as depicted in your shot, as it was already 30 degrees C here at 9 am this morning. With a hot northerly blowing, it will keep climbing too.
