WOW!
"Good shot" is an understatement. "darn good" is only slightly closer. O Weston Link quality.
Several years ago at an auction I bid on a large box that was listed as "an assortment of of xenon strobes removed from disposable cameras, sold by a photo shop."
Since disposable cameras have fall-apart electronics to prevent accidents whilst salvaging, I figured that if I could combine a dozen halves into six working flashes I'd be happy, and bid accordingly. I won.
All 150 worked. Idea was to photograph an entire passenger train, but the idea has been held up by procrastination, cutting up 150 tall stakes, a need for assembly-line production, experimenting how far apart to space the flashes to eliminate white arcs, and designing what's probably a $5.00 interface circuit.

Aaron, did the flashes blind you or anyone else in the cab? I've only been able to ask one crew and I am curious if it is blinding or annoying?

Unlikely, Kyle. A camera flash is nothing compared to a lightning flash, and we all know what that looks like while driving down the street.kckorienek wrote:Aaron, did the flashes blind you or anyone else in the cab?

My conductor didn't even know anything happened. And he was even awake. LoL. I saw you there just in time to see the flash but not bad at all. I just wish I would have had time to lean out and wave. Thanks for the photo Mike. Awesome Shot.
