Creative Use of High Speed SyncUse high speed sync to add mood to your shot.
When most people think of high speed sync, they think fast shutter speeds and freezing the action. True, shooting at 1/8000 with flash is going to freeze the action no matter what the main light source is illuminating the subject. But what about other uses of high speed sync and flash. Until the release of the Pocket Wizard Flex system and Hypersync (see my last post), I was often frustrated shooting in bright sun. I needed an aperture of F16 to get the right exposure at 1/200, my fastest sync speed using my Elinchrom Rangers. What if I wanted to use a wide open aperture like F2.8 to get soft focus and blur out the background? The answer is use high speed sync for selective focus shots in bright, sunny conditions. Maybe high speed sync should be called ‘soft focus sync.’ more »Page 1 of 1 pages |
