Shooting High Speed Sync

Hello everyone,

This week I am going to keep things really simple and easy.

We all have some great events planned for this month and one of the challenges that I am sure many of you will face, will be lighting. You might have an event outside, and shooting in bright sun can be quite challenging. How can you shoot wide open and get a great shallow depth of field if your camera  only flash syncs at 1/200 sec? Why not shoot at f/1.8 or f/2.8 and get a shutter speed of 1/8000th sec.

That is where High speed sync comes in. Here is a great article that was previously published in shutter magazine. It is written by Michael Corsentino and gives you all the information you will need to shoot outside and get some great flash output while shooting at higher shutter speeds with wide open apertures.

Another great article that I would like to cover for this week as we plan our events is over on The strobist. 

How to shoot Events without TTL flash?

You might not get the results from your flash when shooting with TTL, and this is just a great way to learn how to control your flash if it does not have that function or you have an older model flash.

These are great articles as you prepare for your events. 

I wish you all, great success with your events and look forward to seeing your images in the coming weeks.
