Program Night
Tuesday  March 6  7:00 PM

@ Safety Harbor Library, Room B

101 2nd Street, Safety Harbor, FL 34695

Subject: Using Flash to Stop Action presented by Ron Mayberry

Electronic flash can be used to take sharp photographs of events occurring at high speed. Most hot shoe flash units designed for DSLR cameras can provide flashes of light as short as 30 millionths of a second. This is sufficient to "stop" such events as the burst of a balloon, capture a drop of water or freeze the wings of a Hummingbird in flight. The main problem to solve in taking photographs of these events--or simply in using electronic flash to view them directly--is to trigger the flash discharge when the event is occurring. Several types of triggers will be described and demonstrated.
