I have a Gepe card safe that holds 4 CF and 4SD cards. It is very rugged and waterproof down to I not sure how far. Highly recommend it.

I have the Canon 10-22 and find it to be an excellent choice. Sharp with very little flare and quick focusing.

That and timing your shot to the top and bottom of the motion. Also, the heavier the camera the more inertia it has and the easier it is to stabilize.

If it is bright out then I am assuming you are using the flash as a fill light. If that is the case then the small aperture needed to correctly expose the ambient lighting will require a much greater flash output to balance it, hence the longer recycle time required between the flashes.

I don't know the exact flash sync speed of the D750 but it is probably around 1/200 s. When using high speed sync at say 1/1000 s only 1/5 of the sensor is exposed at any one time and the flash will have to fire at least five times in 1/200 of a second interval. Indoors the reflective surfaces allow it to fire at a reduced output reducing the recycling time. Outdoors requires more light and the capacitor will be depleted more quickly, greatly increasing the recycling time as compared to indoors and it simply may not be able to produce those multiple flashes in such rapid succession.

I've done the same--loved macro in the film days then got a career that left too little time for photography. Retired two weeks ago. As I have been converting to digital I look back at what I ended up with film and then have tried to replicate what I liked with modern alternatives that worked the same way. I avoided all the things that I tried and before and did not work for me. Enjoy!

Very nice. You have taken a style I generally do not like and created an image I like very much. I always appreciate someone who can open my eyes to something new. Thank-you.

The duration of the flash is very short, often less than 1/1000 of a second. The flash sync speed is the fastest shutter speed where the entire frame is exposed at one time. To get faster shutter speeds the shutter starts closing before it is completely open and a slit of open shutter moves across the frame. So if the sync speed is 1/200 s then at 1/1000 s only 1/5 of the frame is being exposed at a time and the flash would fire and expose only 1/5 of the frame, the rest would be underexposed. At 1/2000 s shutter duration only 1/10 of the frame is exposed at one time, etc.

Nature is the most complex, convoluted thing known, short of the human brain; but that is nature.

What's wrong is simplifying complex problems into memes. We all loose if we don't have intelligent conversations based on facts.
