Great shot and I guess it was especially difficult back then. Were you triggering the shutter mechanically or with a remote ? I might be wrong but I dont think remotes were available for film shooting.

Hi thanks, I used an electronic camera with a lightning trigger. The device when plugged into the camera opens the shutter when it detects a bright flash. There's a lot of flashes not in the frame that set it off, exposure time is a guess. Even though it was tricky you could get shots that were not otherwise possible.
Wow i didnt know that technology was available 20 years ago, I presumed you used the Bulb mode in combination with a mechanic remote but if I think about it that would have moved the camera and ruin the shot.
I think the lightning triggers were just coming out when we started using them. They were very new! But yeah.. It has been a while! Time really flies sometimes..
I was pretty young back then but my grandfather was passionate about photography and he even got a film developing device. me and my brother were sitting in the dark and we were mesmerized seeing the photos developed...eh time really flies. I still have an Exacta VX500 and some pentacon mechanical triggers that I first figuered @irvinesimages used.
That's awesome. :) Sounds like some great memories. It's pretty amazing how much photographic technology has advanced! But film still has its uses, though it seems to be getting rarer and rarer. I have to say I like my digital camera more just because it's so much easier. So.. I'm glad to see the technology advance so much.
The problem with using bulb is that it dosn't work if there's too much light. during daylight.
