i wasnt expecting the flash to freeze them in the frame THAT much.

great post, thanks.
i reckon this deserved to be doubled up in the tutorials section.
He was standing there the whole time. Small amounts of motion aren't usually visible, and the flash was at the end of the exposure. It's all about the balance. If you have stronger ambient, you can use a faster shutter speed.

I thought about putting this in the tutorials, but it's a lighting thing. Meh.
