Hi,
 If you like the sound of gunfire and the spray of glass...............
the thunder of the herd, trying to escape the lighting and
brimstone..............
......... just kidding...............
 You can just add some slave strobes, do multible flashes or buy a more
powerfull strobe. I'm playing around with a dozen strobes from one-use
cameras. If you know someone at the local one-hour lab you can get them
for free, but be aware of the high voltages these things generate ( 300+
on the storage caps, kilovolts from the trigger coil ).
