Finally got myself a wireless flash trigger — no, not a Pocket Wizard™, just a cheap radio remote — and I can’t wait to try it on people!

I actually tried my hand at soldering a few wires to an old hotshoe connector I have, but was too scared to try it on my D40X, although it worked fine on my F60. Still, wires are bulky, and I know there’s an exposed wire somewhere because I got a mild jolt the first time I tried it.
