Dom, ISO newbie question:

With the great noise reduction in today's camera's couldn't you have simply boosted the ISO so you don't have to use the full power of the flash guns and reduce the shutter speed to get within your camera's synch speed limits or 1) will that cause the background to wash out in a situation like this and 2) will the dramatic effect that you have in the last set of photos be ruined 3) for snowy background does boosting the ISO cause other problems not discussed here?

@meltdownman1 increasing the iso would increase the total exposure not just the flash exposure so that would mean the background would get brighter and thus not as saturated, exactly as you have stated. in snowy situations like this there is little reason for high iso as it is usually pretty bright

It is a bid sad to have gone on a ski vacation by your self but there must have been someone there who would have taken a photo of your self having a good time, if you'd asked around.

Where is the jumping photo?

Didn't that come out?

@Dddddorian a ski vacation? this was the hill behind where i live.

[edgrrr101]

Are you actually controlling the power of the off camera flashes with the flash on your camera? If so how does it communicate with the other flashes?

[Dombowerphoto]

@edgrrr101 yes i am, check out my other videos about nikon cls, the pop up flash communicattes buy a series of pre flashes which are super fast that you dont see them

Hi, at the last picture, what the shoot speed, 1/3500 @ F16 ? How to calc the exposure with many flash's, cold used with flash meter to accomplish that ? if you have non nikon flash ?

[Dddddorian]

@Dombowerphoto Well lucky you; I'm on my way over.
