Flowers + Flash = Black Background?

My goal is to print this picture and give her that too!

Not always. Some cameras can synch at much higher shutter speeds with the right flash. My D7000 can synch with my SB600 at 1/8,000 when both are set properly.

I'm pretty sure my D300s can as well...At least I did something and when I was trying this again I could up my shutter speed to 1/8000...At that point though, I had been working outside for 5 hours and I suffered some heat exhaustion, so I had a heck of a time trying to get anything to work properly...
