Photography Challenge #1: Photo 12 - Strobe

When trying to capture motion, a (relatively) long exposure only gets you so far. You can only capture a small range of motion, or capture such a long exposure that everything just blurs out. Believe me, I've tossed a lot of photos in this challenge because of this.

Fortunately, my camera flash offers a handy alternative: Strobe.

By capturing many discrete, bright-enough exposures, and combining them together -- essentially a multiple exposure with a single drop of the physical shutter -- you can capture the sense of motion over a much larger range of motion. In the Sterling Engine's case, the entire range of motion.
