Now you are twisting what I said. You need to read it again.

Garry, I would have loved having your gear with me on our trip to California, you commented on the picture of the Humming Bird in the Critique section and he was perched in a tree. So you can imagine the time I spent sat with the camera at the ready trying to catch one hovering, great pictures BTW.

cheers, I think they actually have some humming bird shots on the manufacturer's website demonstrating the gear in use.

As I said earlier on I never bother with shutter control I use a variable time contant in my circuits to decide where to freeze the object. Just thought of a good project. As the flashgun is used high speed the storage capacitor does not discharge after the first flash or the second or the third. So if I have several drips, each one frozen on the same shot, it should come out like the dance of the water nymphs.

It would be great to see some of your shots and a fun comparison to Cathus' shots as they are simply stunning.

For the record I am firmly in the camp that is the end result and I am not too bothered how someone got there as long as it is their work.

Mabbutt, I think you'll find he's left the forum, at least that was what he said.

Cheers, Sie
