HyperSync
48
Overpowering the Sun
Olli Krause:“HyperSync is a nice and easy way to get
around the X-Sync time of your camera and put the
control of the light back into your hands. Shooting with
up to 1/8000 sec and a wide open aperture around f/2 is
lots of fun.”
When using HyperSync you can reduce the ambient light apparent
in your photograph by using higher shutter speeds, but still achieve
sync with studio strobes. This means in bright sunlight you can
darken the ambient light in the background. Being able to achieve
higher shutter speeds also allows you to use a wider aperture. A
wider aperture allows for a shallower depth of field. More control
over both the ambient light and the depth of field means more
creative control for you in any situation.
More Power
Erik Seo: "Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed pack with an A-Head. I was using a FlexTT5
as both a transmitter and receiver. You can see the little flash head cover it was sitting in,
bottom right hand side of the big jump wedge. No other lighting was used on that
particular photo."
Photographers have been able to reach
shutter speeds of 1/8000th with
speedlites with HSS/Auto-FP for years,
but one of the biggest differences
between HSS and HyperSync is power.
Studio strobes are able to provide
much more flash power. This gives the
option of lighting larger subjects at
higher shutter speeds with the flash
further away.
