[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 5476, member: 654"] With most tourist groups that I've been in you would have a whip and a chair to get that kind of cooperation. :D Electronic flash fires at around 1/1000 sec. even with a point and shoot. Your chances of "catching" another flash with yours is about nil and none. Another problem is that a point and shoot flash doesn't have much power. Just enough to light up a person that is 8 to 10 feet away. So even if you could catch a couple of other flashes with yours you would not generate enough candle power to get very much in the way of a picture. I think just about then I would remember the brand new Nikon D7000 with the 35mm, f1.4 lens, I forgot I have in my back pack :rolleyes: whip it out, point it at the celling and turn on the video and start shooting. Then I would have every one shoot at the same time. Then you just might have a good shot in one of the video frames. :D Then when you got home you could blow it up to a 16"x20", enter it into some national photo contests and win all kinds of first place prizes. ;) [/QUOTE]
