Very nice indeed.
Goes to show...an adequate tool in the hands of an artist beats a top-end wünderkamera in the hands of someone less skilled any day.

Nice shot.
You can also sync all the way up to 1/2000 with the G9 if you use a physical PC cord rather than the pocket wizards. The pocket wizard circuitry introduces just a hint of delay that you can bypass by going hard wired. Just use something like a Nikon AS-15 hotshoe adapter. You will lose some power from your flash, since the shutter speed may actually be faster than the flash duration.
Very handy if you want to overpower daylight with your flash, but you don't have a whole lot of watt seconds with you.

1/2000 would be interesting for things like humming birds and flying insects. This reminds me of a Star Trek Voyager episode I once saw. The holographic doctor was taking an interest in photography, and he had a camera that looked like a paperback book in size and shape. of course it was taking images better than anything we could possibly imagine. Maybe that time is now. It is always the trend to miniaturize.
HAHAH, just looked at the photo too. Looks as good as any camera and strobe system could do.
I've been reading some sources where pro commercial photographers are moving over to the flashguns for location and studio work. They call it "minimalist" philosophy, which I've always felt was the thing to do. Plus, you can pack 6 flash guns and two umbrellas, plus a couple of small stands with some superclamps and Justin clamps and mount the small flashes on door, ceilings, backs of chairs, etc. with a radio control into a small airline pack and that is your entire kit! You're entire location pro kit the size of a suitcase. Add in a couple of Alien Bees 800s and their battery pack, and you can do 99% of anything that comes your way.

About G9: Can you save a certain focus distance to a preset?

Very nice images. I'm going to have to pull out my G9 and my 580EX and do some experimenting, I see. :-)
