On location. Two days to shoot.
Bad light. Switch to strobe. Burn lots of film.
Change bodies. Burn more film. Return.

Develop.
Ghost images (Enough ambient light to register camera motion at 1/50th synch
speed).
Half Black negatives (Forgot to set flash synch speed on second body).

Briefly considered trying to convince them it was "Art".
Blamed equipment instead.
