Is there a way to break the sync speed?

[hamlet]

well considering your D3200 can't shoot at 1/8000..

why must you shoot at those speeds with flash? The little information you give, the little help we can provide.

Ok, i'll give you one of the shots that i want to do. Lets say you have a 100 meter sprinter with the sun in the picture underexposing the side that is facing you, how would you both freeze him dead in his tracks and get a proper exposure?


example:

 

[Braineack]

A few flashes powered to 1/8 or 1/4 probably.


But here's something for you.

I mounted my SB700 in manual mode. I set it to 1/128 so it wouldn't contribute to the picture.

I turned my YN560ii to S1 at 1/1 with the red panel directly over the SB700.

I then took this shot at 1/4000:

so like I said, a PC cord to your YN622TX might just do it.

Expose for ambient background while staying within your sync limitations and fill light the runner with your flash.

So the second flash, is it triggered by the pc cord or the flash from your sb700?

 

[Braineack]

I was using optical slave for that, just to test.

 

[hamlet]

That could come in handy in rare occasions.

Rare occasions? I thought you HAD TO, under risk of certain death, shoot 1/1000+ with flash. I just showed you an easy way to do it with the equipment you already own.

The only thing I didn't try was trigger the flash through my RF603s because I don't have a straight PC cord to try it with. But I'd imagine it would work.

I think you just want an excuse to buy a D7100

Yeah because it's better than the d800 he had.
