Bob,


The key to freezing the wings in flight is to use the manual setting on your flash and reduce the output down to 1/16 or lower. This shortens the flash duration to something like 1/15,000 sec.


If you then set your aperature and shutter speed manually so that little or no ambient light is visible in your shot you will have an effectively exposed the image with the flash only at 1/15,000 sec or so. The only caveat is you may have to use multiple flashes to get a really bright exposure. I have a few shots using one 430 flash that are decent but more flashes would be better.


I'll post some once I fgure out how to do it (I'm a newbie in the group)
