I think the difference is that mine are synced by shutter speed (i.e relatively fast shutter to freeze motion). 1/200 was a fine balance between this and letting enough light in.
Searoads must have synced with flash to freeze the motion, meaning that the shutter speed is fairly irrelevant as the flash correctly expose the image for the duration of the predetermined flash speed, a low power of 1/32 or 1/64 i think. This is the best way to do it like.
The darkened room helps freeze the motion as the camera would see nothing expect for the fraction of time the flash is fired.
I havn't got the equipment so had to light the room as much as possible and freeze motion with the shutter.
The aperture used can be important for letting the light in but imo for these type of macro shots it's easier to use something like f8 to get a decent DOF, basically making it a bit easier to get everything in focus.
Bah, already entered but found a stray housefly in the conservatory.

It's kind of obligatory.
Would have got a vote from me marra
Bloody typical!
Our lass told me to use the lion, over frost, lightbulb etc, which looks like being a crap decision in hindsight!
