So, ISO 100, 8 seconds, f/22, 1 pop full power at 45° front left, 1 pop full power at 45° rear right. Make sure he stays absolutely still between the two pops. =) Its kinda cool. If he moves, youve just wasted 8 seconds =)
nice post.

i've been wanting to try that actually.
i was planning to just hit the test fire button.. is that how you would do it? thats 1/16th power on the sb600 i believe
