Hi One and All

I joined the forum as I thought you may be able to help me. Many years ago, when interesting stuff was passed round in the form of photocopies of jokes, pictures etc. I remember being shown a late 19th/early 20th century picture of a steam train on a curve that had been taken at night and illuminated by hundreds of flash bulbs.

My recollections are:

The shot was taken in America
The curve went from front left to rear right
The train was moving away from the viewer
The picture was in black and white
It was some sort of record number of flash bulbs for the time

I was talking to a friend about it a few days ago when he was telling me about some new electronic flash kit he had bought that was able to sync all 4 heads with wireless controls.

I have tried to search via Google etc with no joy. Any help would be much appreciated
