interesting. How did you synchronized the hammer hit or the pig taking contact with the floor ?.. Did you fired the camera manually ?

Thanks

What I really don't understand is, why you used an 1/8000s exposure.

The standard procedure among photogs seems to be to just darken the room so that the ambient doesn't expose the picture at 1/250s and then use the flashes dialed down to about a 1/32 power - this normally gives you light for about 1/10000 second - without the trouble of syncing to such high speeds.

There are of course sometimes reasons to do otherwise.

Were there such reasons? If yes, which?

...just beeing curious. Thanks.

if you listen, he says he wanted to push the shutter to freeze the action of the pieces of the piggy breaking. Obviously, you don't need 1/8000 to capture this, but with TTL and new HSS you can do this, so why not?
