OK folks, how do you make a one microsecond flash? The one with the razor blade is stunning!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

No idea about e flash and having had experience of designing flash circuitry, it will take some very clever control.

I agree about the razor blade picture = how many attempts did it take?

I will be contacting him to see if he is willing to sell prints of that and others.

That's the one for me too Kris.

It's not the flash that gets me, it's the laser trigger for the flash!!!

This has inspired me to have a go at something very similar

I'm going to borrow my sons Air Rifle

Does anyone have any Canon lenses they dont want

And yes, the razor blade shot is awesome.

Quite impressive, but there was a lot of that around years ago. A lot of magazines published circuits for microphone flash triggers with a variable delay. Old flashguns such as a Sunpak Autozoom 5000's could go down to 1/128 power which meant a very short flash. Had to be done on a B setting in a dark room.
