Great Work!! Not sure, but did I hear you say that you started the shoot, with the flash set at half power?
Great images. It’s interesting that Sony made high speed sync obsolete with their new global shutter.
Sal, what lightstand did you use in this video?
Down low, cross legs, looking away, perfectly framed with white door in background.
Whaaat! You let me lick the lollipop then pull it away. I want more of this.
Hi Sal…Always Fun Fun Fun…Until "Daddy Took The T-Bird Sync Away"…Or something like that….All the best from NYC / Jersey Shore Area.

Background exposure 1 stop down. And flash as needed before blown up.
Gonna give it a try Sal. Thanks
Great work Sal. Thank you for the video. I look forward to your videos. Informative and helpful. I was surprised to see that you shot in aperture priority mode and not manual mode.
What do you think about Sonys new camera with it syncing at any speed now, and no more hss
Great job
