Sketchbook #16 : My Refuge


Assignment #26 : MAD Photography

ISO 2500, 120mm, f/4.8, 1/60

ISO 5000, 82mm, f/4.2, 1/60

The tutorial I followed from MAD Photography was "Slow Synch Flash: The Ultimate Guide". This tutorial intrigued me because I have always wanted to find a way to be able to take a flash picture at night, while the background is still visible and light. This guide taught me to make the shutter speed slower and put the rear flash on. When I first looked at the tutorial, my goal was to use a very slow shutter speed, preferably on 1/5 or lower but since I did not have a tripod or anything to prop my camera on, I was forced to make the shutter speed faster so that it would not be blurry. I like the technique I learned and will continue to use it because it is helpful to know how to take successful photos in the dark.
