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. Don

Thanks Don, yet again you provide a very good example and food for thought - I think I might go back to magnesium powder, lit by a match in a dark room with the shutter locked open - you know - the old simple days!!!

Never tried the stuff Andy but that could certainly be interesting.
Just tried something different but 1/32,300 sec flash burst was not enough to freeze the spray from an aerosol. Camera and flash set up as in my previous post. Don

Lucky I don't have any magnesium powder but sounds as if Andy does and maybe he will give it a go.  Before and after pic then Andy. Don

You all seem to forget - the wife/assistant sticks the match in while you have your head under the old fire proof cloth as you look through your lens....
I don't know you young uns with your digi whatsits........
