My photographs are taken in a dark room and rely on the fast flash durations from th 580Ex guns dialled down to 1/128 full power (typically 1/25,000 sec), shutter speeds are whatever is convenient, sometimes over a second. Trying to find a reasonably price 10-12" spherical mirror with an fl of around 48-60" is very difficult :( Schlieren photography is very high on my todo list :) One of the issues with this is getting the smoke dense enough to be visible so photographing pressure density with a Schlieren technique would be the best way of doing this.

The smoke in the photographs seems low velocity 'spent' after event residue air. Either the action happens nearer the vents in the stripper or the strippers are kings new clothes? Perhaps they need higher velocity airflow? The 1st shot is probably most indicative as to what should be happening, what shutter speed / flash duration were you using? Andy.
