it's simple.  i used it in the dark once against a black background to
do the james bond opening (walk on camera and shoot the camera).  the
flash went off ten times during the 4 second exposure, so there were ten
of me on film.  if i had done it with the lights on, the ten of me would
have been part of a continuous blur but would have been sharper than the
blur.  make sense?
