Subject: RE: flash sync speed
What I find frustrating with slow flash sync?
Sometimes I want to shot more or less towards the sun, and still need a
large aperture. I'm talking very high speed.
A few days ago, I had to let a near perfect shot go, with some very nice
rocks and a beautiful sky, because of this. It was a real downer. It near
ruined a nice photo walk.
Fer Gawds sake, it's just a friggin picture.
It's not that big a deal.
BTW, back in the 70s, we used to turn our brides back to the sun to get a
nice glow around the veil and shoot at f/5.6 @ 1/60 with fill flash.
It worked very well.
Of course, this is out of the question with digital, which is kind of
persnickety about exposure.
