Nice one! I do not quite understand the flash technique, but I do like the result; good to see you managed to get a TOPE 1 entry, and a very nice one at that! :)

Flash fired by ear? Wow! I like teh bee/thumbtack image. Great idea.

Tal aimed the flash at my face while I looked into the tacks. 3 or 4 dry runs and she was ready to shoot as soon as the selftimer buzz signalled the shot. Started at 1 sec. and let her shoot all the way to 1/60. Her reflexes were still good at 1/15 and that was the best of the lot.

Aha, so that's the way the flash technique was done. Well, that's certainly about the most complicated way to go about it...:) Great result though, and I'm sure you had a lot of fun while taking it!

Interesting picture. Great (and fun!) execution. I know of OM lenses attached to Pen-F cameras, but not the opposite thing!
