Probably remote triggers/controls, which nowadays work through the hotshoe.

Ain't much a teeny-tiny flash is going to do out there.

They are lightening triggers. They were part of a workshop to photograph lightening that was occuring on the South rim (distant rim) Those things were set so sensitive they were constantly tripping their cameras with no success. If they had a camera converted to full spectrum with a 720nm or 850nm filter on, they would have got lightening which was almost exclusively behind the clouds. A UV filter of about 380nm or so, might also have picked up lightening.

Hi Steve,

cool shot. What was the shutter speed? 1/4 second, or maybe 1/2?

Cape Royal Grand Canyon North. Wotans Throne is to the left. BW shot on Acros100. 75mm Nikkor, f/4.5@f/32. Sunset. Used Red 25A filter. Not sure why the negative is so grainy. Either I miscalculated the exposure for it or I didn't develop it correctly or both. But, I managed to get a presentable image out of it.

I love pictures of inclement weather! Hope you didn't get wet.

Haha, I did take some heavy rain for that one !
But rain wasn't the biggest issue : wind was !
I had to keep a hand holding the tripod all the time.

Glad you like it.

Don't remember notes are packed away at the moment. Probably in that range. Maybe 1 or 2 sec. Need to dig notes out.

Another Grand Canyon North image. Grand Canyon North, east of Cape Royal on South Side. 90mm Schneider Super Angulon f/5.6@f/32. Acros 100, no filters. Posted the image from Flickr, Zenfolio, and my computer. This one looked like it got crispied after upload to Flickr/Zenfolio. Can definitely see a difference.
