Hi All,
I was trying to capture some moving water over a static subject and of course it led to High Speed Sync (HSS).
NIKIN Z8 + GODOX V1 Flash +Nikkor MC 105mm
I setup the camera by applying the Highest Sync Speed available:
When I applied this setting I noticed that the V1 Flash menu showed the HSS Symbol :
The object of the exercise was to get 1/8000 shutter speed with an acceptable exposure at the lowest possible ISO setting.
First attempt was made using the V1 with a bounce card:
The following is the lowest ISO I could use to get a useable image:
I tried a few different diffusion methods.
The V1 has an optional kit of light modifiers and the best results I got was with changing the bounce card with a Grid:
The Grid made a huge difference:
One other example is that I am always looking to get a good pic of my cat. Using the grid and ISO 100 / F3.5 / 1/8000 with HSS I got the best pic ever of my cat:
Sandy
Overall not as difficult as I first thought but I will be using HSS a lot more. I am now wandering the countryside looking for moving subjects.
As usual all comments are very welcome.
