  • How do you get shallow depth of field in broad daylight without overexposing your image? Using high speed-sync gives you the power as a photographer to create that shallow depth of field look while still maintaining an evenly exposed image.
    I took my lovely model Haley out to Tempe Town Lake, just north of the Arizona State University campus to use my high speed-sync in the field.
    I use this lighting technology a lot in my work

      Why not read up on it? I learned how to photo in hi speed sync ( and just how cool it is!) way before I understood the technicalities of it.

      Wish you had commented on the shutter speeds used for the shots. The most striking shot IMO was that of the model wearing black & back hat just after sunset. But I would think there would be no issue in using regular strobe, not HSS, because I could see the lights on the bridge - and that would mean SS of maybe 1/8 to 1/4 second.

    You know what... Joe's skill is seeing beauty in that cityscape - at first look I would have probably gone meh... but it's is the photographers vision that takes the water, the ripples, the model, and bridges and puts it all together - thanks for opening my eyes to opportunity

      Joel said he was shooting @ f/1.2 and since it's a HSS video he was probably in 4kish shutter speed, most new lights can sync upto 8k shutter speed, just my thoughts but I could be wrong.
