    Saved. Liked. Already subscribed for stuff exactly like this-- I've always thought flashes were for studios to control light and didn't even consider that the light that bounces back can "freeze" the objects it hits as the sensor only "sees" that reflected light with the overall shutter speed controlling the ambient light. Amazing, I love this format. It's fun and informative without being formal.

And after having a night to think more about it, the importance of overpowering the ambient light is to reduce or eliminate the motion blur due the ambient light reflecting off the object(s) after the flash hits it to create the after image/blur. Wish I could like this video twice haha.

    Flash power isn't fake, but it could more accurately be called flash energy. The thing that annoys me most about it is that it isn't measure in any sort of standard way across different equipment. I could have lenses and cameras from completely different systems but ISO 200, 1/500s, and f/8 mean the same thing on all of them, and should give similar exposure in similar conditions. But flash power 1 or 1/2 is relative to the maximum of the particular flash. Would seem easier if they used an absolute number measured in watt-seconds (aka joules) or something instead of a fraction with no unit.

    I’m not sure where this notion that you need flash comes from. I got great photos at the Le Mans 24 hours of LMP1 prototype etc race cars at dusk with great motion blur and the car was still in focus!. Unlike here when your running and everything is a blurry mess, it is not meant to look like that if anyone is wondering!. Literally I used a Nikon d5000 years ago at dusk/lowlight like I stated with no flash and the photos came out amazing!. Oh and I was using an f3.5-5.6 kit lens!.
