G Photography Tips

Slow sync, originally uploaded by Gun Sydney.

If you are in the dark pubs try it out. It works quite well. All of the DSLR will have this function. The way it works is combining Flash and Slow shutter speed together. The results, you'll have the bright background and lit up the subject.

There are 2 types of Slow Sync Flash, the Front Curtain and Rear Curtain. It's just the Front one will fire the flash a the very first moment you press the shutter. It means that it will freeze the moment you press the shutter and then slow shutter speed continue to lit up the backgroud. To make it clear, just imagine a car driving past you at night with their lights on, the front curtain will make the light trail in front of the car, coz it freezes the first moment.

The Rear Curtain will not fire until the very last moment before the shutter close. So, it freezes the last moment. With the same scenario of the car, the picture will come out with the light trail behide the car.
