Was experimenting with a new flash tonight. It was dark out when i took this. I set camera on bulb and locked the shutter down on remote, then i first walked across the bridge no flash, turned around and set the flash to strobe every 1 seconds and walked back with flash in hand pointed back at me. The total exposure time was over 9 minutes.

I used one flash only. It has a test fire button that I used. The flash was set to fire 12 flashes @ 1 every second. I had to hold the test button down the whole time or it would stop firing as soon as I let go of button regardless of the fact I had it set to fire 12 times.

Actually it was ISO 400 @ F16 and completely dark outside no flash on camera, just in hand @ 1/8 power that fired 7 times while i was in the frame @ 1 second intervals.

I'm interested in knowing how the trees on the bottom left of the shot are as bright as the ones it the top half of the shot that were exposed to the flash.
Regardless. Cool shot

Next time you shoot something like this. Please shoot a "real" shot to show how dark it really was when you did this!
That is ingenious! Wow, how do you come up with ideas like that? Way cool. I love it.....your blue coat and a flash....like the Ghost & Mrs. Muir...oops, showing age again! This is a cool photo!

Thank you SloYerRoll,
The flash was on low power plus my body was blocking most of the light, the trees got very little if any light from flash. The trees are a little farther away then it appears in the photo. It was very dark outside the sun had set long ago, slight moonlight filtered through clouds only, the long exposure lit the entire scene up evenly.

Thank you Swartzy, Im not really sure were I come up with these ideas, I have played around with actual strobelight effects before though. Now I finaly have a flash and was very pleased that it has a strobelight mode, unfortanately the test button is recessed quite a bit its quite a pain to hold it down the whole time while its strobing.
