Taking a break from Mikes cut a card with a pellet mission
to broaden the possibilities for others that might be interested.
This one was to offer possiblilies of high speed flash to those without seperate triggering devices. The only items required is a lead to allow the flash to be taken off the camera, and a means of triggering the camera ( cable release, other remote release or an assistant ) if the subject is a bit away from the camera.
Camera set to
manual at sync speed, and flash in this case SB80-DX, set to 1/64 power on SC-17 lead. Flash has to be fairly close to the subject and aperture will be quite limited unless you have a camera that gives good high ISO performance. This shot was at ISO200 at f5.6, with a flash to subject distance of 12 inches. The workshop had just enough ambient light to allow me to see what I was doing but not enough to affect exposure which is purely flash. SB80-DX flash duration at 1/64 is 1/32,300 sec.
