RE: The Miracle of Life - TRAVEL CONTEST #98 and winners from CONTEST #93 - Water

Oh :) Wonderful set of photographs, given the conditions!
On one of my last photoshoots I have a similar terrible problem - I brought a Speedlight instead of Mains-Powered Monolights as it was indoors in a room with very limited size. I bought a set of brand new batteries for it but they appeared to be of a different, worse capacity than the one typed on them. It was taking between 5 and 10 seconds after each shot to recharge! Thankfully my models had better batteries and we proceeded without any major interruption :D
