Hello everyone, I want to share with you how I captured this photo of an arrow in flight with my D90 and SB-600 using the D90's
Auto-FP High Speed Sync feature. As you probably know when using a speed flash with the Nikon D90 you are limited to a 1/200th of a second shutter-speed. That's not very fast if you want to stop a arrow in flight flying at about 300 fps. With Auto-FP set to (ON) in your menu (that's E5) you can get speeds from 1/200th to1/4000th of a second shutter speeds with flash. Auto-FP high speed sync is not available using the built-in-flash so you'll need a speed flash.
Here's the set-up I used to capture the arrow coming off my cousins bow.

Tamron 17-50mm 2.8

Aperture: 2.8
