He had slaves on all of his flash units being positioned by his helpers. Every time I shot off my Vivitar 283, it fired off all of his flashes, filling the room with just enoug light to perfectly expose my Ektachrome 400. Lots of fun for me; a major pain for him. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of V8PWR@aol.com Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 8:53 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] A scary moment ! Hello all , Yesterday I was tasked on one of the scariest mission on earth : beeing the official shooter of a wedding ! I had never done it officially and I can say this is really scary . Scary to miss the particular shot I was asked to take , scary that someone crosses in front of me at the decisive moment ( it actually happened ! ) , scary to develop the films . I was the only one authorized to take pictures in the church during the most important ceremony . Before that wedding , I began preparing my photo bag with M6 and M2 , the 3E, a 50 'cron , a 35 'cron , an Elmarit 90 , and loads of Tmax 100 , not to forget that SF20 . But finally , I ended up going the only the M6 and 3E , the SF20 , and 5 films . No bags , no weigh , no inconvenience . This plan worked well . I didn't forget to take a spare set of batteries for the SF 20 and the M6 TTL . This helped me well since I had to replace those CR123's on the SF20 in the middle of the action . I have developped the films yesterday evening and made contacts . Everything is OK . One of those nice pics is the one taken at the end of the church ceremony with everyone throwing rice and paper flowers . 1/30 th at f11 with the 28 ( on 3E ) , the result is what I expected : you're really in the middle of the action with that one .
