I am not even sure I ever saw that photo before. So much about different perception...

Here a report by the photographer on that event:

"I had my own personal camera, a Nikon FTN and a 28 mm lens. I didn’t own a flash unit that would fit on this camera."

What could he have meant by that incompatibility?

I guess he didn't have or didn't buy the hot shoe adapter...

Thanks AgX, I was 7 at the time, so there is a lot of details I'm missing.

The gallery article also states he shot at "f8.5". I think it should be f5.6.

I think even f/3,5 as this was the widest opening on his (most probably) Nikon Nikkor-H Auto 28mm lens.

What a great picture. The man apparently had a great eye for intuitive on-the-fly composition. This photograph has the structure of a well thought out painting. A very dramatic picture with real punch!

That makes more sense...
