Heya Frank.. Yup tis I. As for taking the shot, I set the camera and flash settings manually, handed it to a non photog friend, on a tripod with the words, "in my general direction and click". In a flash of inspiration, he then went on to having one finger on the shutter release, the other hand on the panhead loosely, defeating the purpose of the tripod :(
Anyway. Bought myself heaps more kerosene, and figure the next time I'll work it out.
