For those of you that dressed up as "Mr Science" at the Halloween party...this may be of some interest to you;

http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/story/68-high_speed_photos.html

It describes how to set up to use the flash from a $3 disposable film camera with a sound sensitive trigger mechanism to take high speed photos.  It's for those that don't want to risk  tinkering with their $500 flash to do the same.

I haven't tried it yet....but will experiment if time permits.  If anyone out there tries it...be sure to IM me and upload your results.

Have fun!

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
