When using flash you will only get ONE exposure because the capacitor is not large enough to create multiple flashes. You COULD get 2 shots but it is a matter of distance the flash travels.The way to shoot flash to freeze wings is to use multiple flashes. Three or more are desired. The flashes are 4'-0" away from the subject. All flashes are set to repeat mode at each flash. Doing this is dependent on each location, some locations might not lend themselves to this endeavor. I have permission at a Ohio State Park to set up my multiple flashes but I have to wait to receive my Godex flash radio triggers. Now when the flashes are set to repeat mode the power output is reduced to 1/8 or 1/128 power. Now you can get repeating flash but the problem is syncing the flashes to the camera. It can be done with a radio trigger, hard wired or with flash slaves. Since the flash power has been reduced the flash distance has also been reduced. At 1/8 or 1/128 power will be good for 4'-0". When using multiple flash the subject will be frozen due the flash duration and not the shutter speed. Flash duration on my SB-900 could be 1/10,000 to 1/25,000 of a second. Also the power for the flash will AA batteries so a large amount is needed to be on hand.
