Playing around with high speed sync

Using some new goodies from PocketWizard

image

I’m playing around with and pushing limits on the new PocketWizard MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 units. Had a chance to work with a gymnast on a trampoline this week, this was shot at 1/3200th of a second at F/5 using Dynalite packs and heads. Rare partly cloudy skies over Los Angeles were underexposed to show all the texture and darken the blue sky. I lit the model, Leila, with two heads and the action, including her hair, froze nicely. It even worked well on more active stuff, like backflips.
