How to make a camera photo/flash sound?

rudypoochris

I am working on a song right now and I was hoping to incorporate something that sounds like a paparazzi camera flashing/taking a photo any ideas on how one might go about emulating this sound? Equally well would be to just sample it, but unfortunately I do not know what camera makes that typical sound nor do I have one. There are many movies out there with this sound in it, but I can't remember a single one unfortunately. Thoughts? Thanks!

I think it would be quite a lot of work to try to create this with a G2 patch,
so samples seem the easiest way to accomplish this.

At freesound.org, there should be lots of samples available though...
These are some that I found quickly, and might match your requirement:

Can't recall from memory, but I would suggest LA Confidential, Black Dahlia, The Usual Suspects, Rocky, Titanic, Dragon, etc... Possibly The Prestige, or The Illusionist as well.
