17 May

Tried something different today. Wanted to capture some motion with the highspeed burst mode of my flash.
I am beaten. This was so difficult. Had to focus the camera, press the shutter on timer release, turn of the lights, hold the flash in one hand and then bounce the ball with the other!
I had to stop after 20 shots. I was scared of frying my flash! It cannot be good for the flashgun :-(
This was taken at 15fps.
Sorry for the poor quality, but this is soooo hard!
