Description Flashed underneath with really short exposure to capture the detail through the flower. Looks like it was shot in the dark but it was actually mid afternoon.

That is a really good shot man, great effect... I tried this once with a flash light... Wasn't happy with the results though... Plus I know you didn't use a flash if the shutter speed is 1/4000 so what did you use?

Why couldn't I use flash at 1/4000?

Because your on-built flash for your 350D has a flash sync of 1/200 and will be 1/250 for your external.. If you put your external flash on and set your shutter speed to anything over 1/250 you will get a shadow casted over one of the sides, prefably the bottom side.

I used the external flash with Hi Speed Sync so I could fire the shutter at whatever speed I liked. And with regards to you saying about shadows I'm just confused? Please explain?

Hi-Speed sync? never heard of it... Erm I was shooting at an indoor skatepark and I was shooting at 1/640 with my external flash and it was making a big dark space on the picture... then when I changed it to my cameras flash sync which is 1/250 and it was fine.. Hope this helps..

Taken from the Canon EOS Photonotes site: -
FP mode, also known as focal plane mode or high-speed sync, is a way of circumventing a camera’s X-sync limitation. FP flash lets you take flash photos at any shutter speed you like, and works by pulsing the flash bulb at an extremely high rate - 50 KHz - simulating constant light at the cost of total light output. FP stands for β€œfocal plane,” by analogy to the old FP flash bulbs, though a convenient way to think of it is β€œfast pulse.”

Only E-TTL capable (type A) EOS cameras support FP mode. (except the EOS 1N, which can partially support FP mode flash via an optional upgrade)

More more information on FP mode, how it’s often used and what its limitations are, please consult [link]

What flash are you using?

Ah right cool, I have a Vivitar 285... How do I turn this 'FP' mode on?

I don't think this one can- But I tracked down a manual to have a look.

Nah it doesn't, I think it will more than likely be just for digital flashguns to be honest.. Cheers for the help though!
