I set up my new black backdrop, put my camera in manual mode and adjusted the setting to f/4.5 and 1/640 shutter speed which totally eliminated all signs of the backdrop and all ambient light which was my goal. I put my subject in front of the backdrop, took my SB-700 off camera and angled it to bounce light off the ceiling. When I took the shot, however, the shutter speed was 1/200 which is my D90's flash sync speed, and of course the lighting is a bit hard, the backdrop appears and there are shadows. Not what I wanted or expected.
So how do I fix this? What am I doing wrong (probably a lot of things)? My goal is to have my subject lit and the background totally blacked out.
Thanks.
