I just got around to writing up this past summers project of
photographing bats in flight using some high speed flash units.

Very nice -- and I though humming birds were tough (they only have
two speeds - hover and gone!). I don't care what Nikon says about
the pre-flash being quick enough that things don't respond ... hah !!
The pre-flash gets the metering right, followed immediately by the
main flash of ... nothing -- little suckers are gone. Had to use full
manual.
