Hanukkah is only 5 days away. It's very early this year. I decided it's a good excuse to try something I have never done before, just for fun. I decided to try using the stroboscopic feature of my Canon 600 EX RT flash to photograph a spinning dreidel. It turned out that the hardest part of the project was getting a good spin with the dreidel. Here are some of my results, shot with a Canon 5D MIV, 70-200mm f2.8 lens mounted on a tripod.

The beginning of a good spin.


A few good spins.
