Multi-Strobe 580EX ll

[Mad Aussie]

Tonight I thought I'd have a play with the multi-strobe setting on my 580EX ll Speedlite Flash.
Again this is my 1st attempt at such a technique so I grabbed the user manual and read up a bit about the settings and grabbed some stuff and headed outside just after dark a few minutes ago.

Nothing fancy here ... just a test shot to see if I understood what I was doing really.

I hung an adjustable spanner ( called 'Shifters' here in Aussie ) from a shade sail we have and swung it.

I set the camera on 1 sec shutter and the flash mode to 'Multi' at 4 flashes at 4hz.

This is the result ....


I have an all night mountain bike race to shoot in a couple of weeks called the 'Dusk Till Dawn 12 hr' and I'm playing with different effects for that event. Hence this Multi-Strobic technique along with the 2nd Sync Flash and Light Painting I've tested and displayed in other threads. Should be fun.


Has anyone else played with this Multi-strobic technique?
If so, I'd love to see some shots.
