Hello everyone and welcome to the Wednesday Rundown. I have been playing around with my flash a bit this week and forgot about the sync speed for a second (just a split second). I know of the 1/250 sync speed and understand the basic idea, but do you? We have a great video that goes into detail of how the camera and flash sync. Also we have a video sent in by Julien from Canada, thanks again for the videos! contactfstoppers@gmail.com
Flash Sync Speed:
If you are someone that doesn't understand the 1/250 sync speed this video is a must. Very detailed on how the camera and flash work together in timing.
Recreating the Sun:
These guys are crazy. I will never be able to say they have a boring video, check out how these photographers fake the sun in a photo with a speedlight.
Visual Body:
Check out this beautiful video sent in by one of you. Great final images, I have email Julien to see if he can give us some detail on how he got the final images. Hopefully we will see something in the comments sections.
Extreme Panning:
This guy has a pretty cool method for getting some extreme blurring. Nothing to new but might be good next time you are shooting an action scene.
Holy crap ! Julien Bourbon for the win !
Julien emailed me back with these comments on the shoot:
For the final images, there is no post production except the color. The blur is a long exposure (1.6 seconde). No light, just daylight and 2 Neutral Density filters. Lots of preparation and accessories, very good team too.
