2:46 wow, what camera did you use, that have flash sync speed of 1/8000th sec??

[BloatedSensations]

@creatip123 It's not the sync speed - it's the flash duration. Einsteins have a duration of up to 1/9000th of second on lowest power. So, you expose the image to block out all ambient light - and, while your shutter-speed may be set to, say, 1/200th of a second - the camera records nothing but black (no information) except for that 1/9000th of a second of a burst of light from the flash head - so, effectively, it's the same thing as shooting with a 1/9000th shutter-speed.

[creatip123]

@BloatedSensations I understand the concept of 'flash as effective shutter speed', but IMHO, when you say it 'I'm shooting somewhere between 1/6000 and 1/8000', people would try to dial the shutter speed on their cameras to between 1/6000 and 1/8000, and get dark images all the times (because of the sync speed).

Well, that's just what I think, though...:)

[BloatedSensations]

@creatip123 You're right - he certainly could have chosen his wording more carefully so as not to be confusing to those who may be inexperienced with flash photography. But, then again, I don't think English is his first language.

@bepeace01

Good shaped splashes can be used to create interesting images during the post-production. The image you mention consumed 6 hours of retoucher work, and this was just an example of what can be done. Full article about post-production of this butterfly is on his retoucher's blog.
