I was doing some browsing around and hit up my buddy David Ziser's site and found a tutorial he recently put together on "tricking" the sync speed of your camera. I'm liking this idea and can't wait to try it... ALL this time I've been afraid of going above the native sync speed of the camera in fear of the big black stripe on the bottom of the frame.

David makes use of this by filling that black stripe with ambient and highlighting just a certain part of the subject that still remains in the lit part of the frame's upper to mid half.... COOL TRICK MAN!


Also, Strobist featured this and has a few tid-bits to add, so check out David Hobby's article too!


Thanks for the great advice amigos!
Enjoy!
