Am I understanding this correctly? With the shutter open, you let the
mortar flame trigger the flash? Cool idea!
no no. The shot went like this
The shutter was opened ( it is dark and nothing is exposed)
The mortar shell dropped in. (still in darkness)
Mortar goes BOOM ( the flame appears )
I release the shutter ( flash fires with rear curtain sync and we see the troops )
Hope this is clearer
Kind regards

After I sent the question, I thought about it some more and realized
this is what you probably meant. It's still a new idea for me but makes
a lot of sense. It would be a lot easier to react after the motar fired
than to anticipate the shot. I have an AF500. I need a tutorial on how
and when to use all the features it offers. Thanks for taking the time
to clarify for someone on the learning curve.
