[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 273229, member: 16844"] [U][B]Day 64[/B][/U] Well I tried something different today. The idea was to see if I could freeze a flipped coin but still show the movement. Well after setting up the tripod and trying to do this in front of the camera with timer release and a flash I realised I was wasting my time. A different plan was needed - although not as effective as a coin in the air. I don't have 8 hands, a barrage of cameras and the patience of Mother Theresa (although this would have tested even her I think) So off to the dining table it was. Flick the coin to get it spinning, pick up the camera, focus (if possible) and shoot. Repeat until you get something half useful.
