Stopping movement has always been an important part of photography, by using HHS or high speed synchronisation know as HHS “sync” will allow a very high shutter speed to be used, most medium and high level flashes have this HSS possibility although the beginner dslr camera models probably won’t have. So it’s important even for the beginner deciding what camera to buy to think about what type of photography they will be doing. camera shutter synchronisation is very important and photography tutorials like this one are important for the experienced and beginner photographer.

That was absolutely beautiful I really enjoyed that video u made I just recently getting into hss flash as I have a godox xt2 trigger that I tried with my strobe and turned out pretty good
What will you say when your wife ask about the juice
16 dislikes I guess they dont have DSLR
Great video. Very helpful. Loved your background. Was it waterproof? And where can it be purchased? Thanks.
You are the greatest teacher of all 🙂
Really enjoy that. You're interesting and funny. What else ?
You don't even need HSS. Though you can use even longer exposure time in your camera – it doesn't matter as long as your studio light is not too strong and your aperture stopped down, which probably will be necessary, anyways, to get decent depth of field. I recently took some pics like these in daytime, in my windowed room. Just set down blinds and it was dark enough that natural light didn't influence the exposure (1/200sec, f/16, ISO 100, flash with 1/32 power). And you won't loose light for "scanning" the sensor, as you say.
I must be missing something. I have a canon 5dmk4 and a 580ex2 flash with speedlite transmitter st-e2. I also have the same trigger set up. But when i do 8000th of a second i get completely black pictures help.
Where did you get them glasses?
👏👏👏👏👌
Hi Phillip, can you tell me the name of the microphone you use and where to buy please . looking at people's reviews on the versa trigger it's getting some awful stick from customers saying don't waste your money, so I'm assuming the microphone you get is not very sensitive. Thank you 🙂
cool1
never heard of 24-85mm…
Amazing video, I can feel my creative juices flowing just by seeing this technique.
Keep up the good work.
Great video and good idea with the plastic glasses. I shoot high speed in a dark room or in the evening/at night. In low ambient light you can set your aperture and iso so the camera does not pick up ambient light at 1/250th or slower shutterspeeds. I then put my speedlight in manual mode and set it between 1/8th and 1/128th power depending on aperture, iso and distance to subject. At 1/8th to 1/128th the flash duration of a speedlight is typically between 1/4000th and 1/25000th of a second. (flash duration depends on make and model)
That way you can stop super fast motion without the need of HSS – even with a shutterspeed of 5 seconds.
If you use slow shutterspeeds like 5 seconds you can even do this without a triggercable or wireless trigger. Just press the shutter and use the test button on your speedlight to take the picture within the 5 seconds. With a slow shutter you can also shoot the flash multiple times if you like…
The wonderful thing about photography is that we never lose the thrill of getting a shot right, very interested in your mike and if it would work with Triggertrap on my old mobile.
Thanks.
Thanks sir.It"s very very useful………….
Great informative tutorial. Thanks so much. As for the glasses, are the plastic or glass? They sounded like plastic, but when you said you ran out and reached for some new ones it made me think they were glass?
Where can I get the Versa Trigger…I can't find it on Amazon or B&H Photo…?
hahahah very enjoy
Grandpa you are so cute. Thank you for the tutorial!
Awesome, where did you get the fake glas ?
Hi Phillip
I love this video and I'm really keen to try this and other action stopping photography. The Versa trigger looks very impressive.
I've been to their website but cannot find anything to say who they are or where there based. I wonder if you can help, because l prefer
to have some knowledge of the company I'm dealing with.
Thanks again for the video and hope you can help

excellent video very helpful
Excellent sir ,can you do a video on the trigger ! setting and set up .many thanks
Fantastic tutorial,super work!!!
Great vid! Years ago I did similar shots of breaking glass panes (think you had a mess?) using variable power (1/128th) with a thyristor type flash, a darkish studio, and a leaf shuttered view cam lens. Great for this type of subject but won't stop bullets. The great Dr. Edgarton made some wonderful high speed photos back when they seemed miraculous.
I love the passion that you have for photography!
Haha, made me smile, great humour and great teaching. Nice video, thanks…
Nikon refers to this as Auto FP rather than HSS. The set up for Nikon is as follows: In the camera menu go to the Custom Setting Menu and select option e: Bracketing/flash then select e1 Flash sync speed and select 1/320 (Auto FP) and then forget about it, there is no need to change it back when not doing HSS. Nikon flashes and Nikon compatible flashes don't need to be set up for HSS / Auto FP as they detect the high shutter speed automatically hence why Nikon call it Auto FP.
Fantastic mate, well done. Was wondering how far are the flash from the glass?
your great uncle!…feel happy when i see you! God bless
VERY interesting
thank you from Pakistan Sir , love the way you teach
what model of camera you are using
VERY GOOD.FROOM CYPRUS
It's really awesome
This reminds me of firing manhole covers into outer space
Very nice video! thank you for all the info :]
Genial. 🙂
Thank you! Very instructive – great work and enjoyable to watch 🙂
