"First Impression" is 1/125th second at F/8, ISO 800, Vivitar 285HV flash set to
yellow.
"Big_Boy_OWL" is 1/60th second at f/11, ISO 102400.
I want to cry every time I look at it. I should have gone back to the car and
got my tripod.
For those who are not familiar, "OWL" is O. Winston Link, one of the true gods
of night rail photography.

First up is a lesson that if you can't get a fast enough shutter speed to hand
hold it, GO BACK TO THE CAR AND GET THE DAMN TRIPOD. There's just too much
noise. FWIW, it looks great on the back of the camera.
I'm extremely disappointed that I traveled almost 900 miles and blew the shot!:

The second shot was taken with flash & I'm reasonably pleased with it:

This was taken with a flaky Vivitar 285HV. All of my Pentax flashes appear to
be dead now. And since all of them are OLD, none will be covered by warranty.
Is there any place I can send them that will actually repair them? Or should I just
trash them & replace?
