First real foray into stroboscopic flash. My Canon 580ex flash can be set to a "multi" setting, which will allow you to set the number of flashes and the frequency. This was a one second exposure, during which the flash shot about 7 times (only about 4 of the flashes were during the cats jump, the rest were before and after the jump, since I didn't know how many I'd need.

Here's another example: , but I thought it was too busy. My biggest problem was a lack of a wide, black background. This is a piece of black velvet, but it was only 45" wide, so he kept getting out of the background. I really need to invest in something wider... :)

Great start! 6.8 at 20 votes. However, it has dropped quite quickly.

Great jump shot. Love cats. Did not like the see through tail mid stream and would have liked a natural background setting and/or a landing target being it ground or prey. Thanks for sharing.

Okay, thanks for putting that Van Halen tune into my head for the rest of the night. And how many shots did it take before the cat co-operated?
