Movement and Action

When it comes to "freezing" movement and capturing it pin sharp in a studio-based environment, there are two basic flash techniques that allow you to use the very short exposure times this requires.

Short Flash Duration vs. High Speed Sync

You can either use flash heads with very short flash durations or ones that support so-called High-Speed Sync (HSS).

Flash Duration

Exposure times are an important factor in capturing movement photographically. In a studio, the exposure times you can use are strongly influenced by the duration of the flashes produced by your flash heads. Because flash duration can be quite a lot shorter than the exposure time set in the camera, you can capture fast movements ...
