Flash photography
Hey guys!!! It’s another beautiful day here in South Carolina. I decided to talk a little about using flash. Most photographers know about the MAGIC HOUR. Basically it’s the hour at sunrise and sunset when the light is perfect. Unfortunately that doesn’t really work if you have more than one shoot and only two hours to split. Flash is the answer. I carry two must haves with me on every shoot. One is a camera mounted flash with HSS (high speed sync) capability and two are my off camera self contained battery strobes ( namely Baja b4s). With these in my arsenal I can shoot anywhere at anytime. The photo below are taken at 12:00am This was taken at 1/8000 using high speed sync You can see that with the shutter speed being so fast, the light doesn’t have a chance to wash everything thing out. I am also at a 1.8 aperture which allows my subject to stay in focus but give me a little blur for the background, so she can stay the focus of the picture. You need that flash otherwise sh
