Brought a tripod but didn't use it. As I was raining they tried to cancel it out. Mud everywhere. I got the shot of the guy with the sparks flying all over the place they were happy. Made big bucks. Would have loved to have a Hasselblad Super wide (38mm Biogon) for the occasion. I'm getting a bare bulb head with cord for the thing. I use it with a PocketWizard? for it so it does not blow up my various digital cameras.
