Wayne - yes, only 2 - 3 shots per minute, but that was running with maximum recharge rates for about 90 mins or more straight, and I think *most* of them were at 100% power. I might have put batteries that werent at 100% when I started too just to make it more complicated (I think my battery tester freaks out with the Lithium style batteries and doesnt give me an accurate reading)

It's still not finished, but if/when it does [and if it works] I'll post the results ...

ha, cool.
Personally, I dont think I'd be hooking up such a crazy DIY rig for these shoots - Im hiring models and doing art nudes and need to look semi-pro if you get me, esp as I dont have a huge portfolio yet and am also about to use 'models' who are regular people who Ive straight asked if they will pose etc.

Interested to see your results nonetheless.
