Is the SB900 capable of doing something like this stand-alone?
I think so. In Nikon speak that mode is called "Repeating Flash" mode, and it is just another term for stroboscopic action. You can vary the rate from 1 Hz through 100 Hz.

Not an easy task to capture a ball that refuses to find the plane of focus. You would think that dropping the ball from the same point would yield the same bounce pattern. But NO ! All those cute dimples cause it to leap in many different directions. Ask any golfer. The repeating strobe light is from an SB-800. The power was reduced to 1/64. 24 exposures at 30Hz. (15 exposures captured in field of view).

I have to try this, I had read about it when I first purchased the flash. I have fired it when in that mode but have not tried it with a shot. I am thinking it could be interesting with a flying bird or animal movement. Something else to put on the list of things to try.

2- what was used to create it?
3- I am not sure if the SB 900 can do that........for a xenon strobe on the other hand...would be piece of cake....................
That's pretty cool!
1. Stock photo grabbed from a consulting site on the interweb.
2. I have no idea.
3. Thanks for the try.
After a bit of poking around, I found the following for this picture. Now I just have to figure out how to do something like it.
