YE GODS. It completely went out of my puny brain that there are indeed high voltages inside the flash! Honest, I never gave it a thought. If I had, I think I would not have used the flash! In fact, thinking about it now, that's the last time I will use the flash in that situation. I think I have done it twice before. Thanks for smacking me on the head with that one, Bill. Also, thanks very much for your kind words. I shot about half a roll of Delta 400 on them, and it was the very last one on the film. Back in 1978 when I was 18 and a student, I wish I had the confidence then that I have now with people. It would be interesting to peek into a parallel universe and see how I was doing...
