Assignment 12 / Stop Action

Photograph something in action that you can’t see with the naked eye.  Use a camera and flash combination on manual attached to the hot shoe or the off camera cord.  The flash should be dialed down to 1/16 power or less in order to achieve a flash duration of 1/10,000 or less.  Examples are splashing water or stopping a fans blades with a ribbon attached.  I want these images super sharp with no blurs.
