Today is about two photographically more advanced skyscapes things. Once progressive because it will cost more "advanced money." And then progressive, simply because certain photographic skills are needed. For one, the former is more difficult to obtain, for many others it may be the latter point :-).
Porty = power and power = money. So much for the first point. But also because there are relativizations in modern times, by relatively skyscapes cheap mobile flash generators. On the second point, we have to think about why and how to maintain with the use of neutral density filters us more closely.
Many may now at this point might be premature wave your hand and count myself out of date. Porty look, gray filter for open aperture. Today one has yet SUPER-SYNC and can go any sync speed on the camera with a simple cheap Porty! Yes, theoretically already but in practice that's just still a bungling Is-So-Well-method.
The Super-sync function makes use of the burning of a slow flash to the focal plane shutter to expose the photo during skyscapes the burning. The flash is thus a continuous light with the problem that the flash will not always burns as bright but gets a curve. And the course is sometimes skyscapes very strong, skyscapes comes from the camera skyscapes always from bottom to top (in landscape mode because it is dependent on the installed fasteners). In addition, not only a brightness curve but a gradient is created. The flash in the image below is more blue and above rather warm. Just like a light bulb that is turned off, even the flash falls off at the end warm. Most of you recognize these effects skyscapes are not so strong, because skyscapes the subject and often just the RAW development can already skyscapes so some reverse. Nevertheless, it's just not a perfect solution, and neutral density filters or the use of a central shutter skyscapes camera are the optimal solutions. And because we want to show here how to do it right, we now use the gray filter solution.
In addition, a neutral density filter solution is always to calculate skyscapes perfect. No trial and error but all manageable. Super-Sync is always a decent fumbling skyscapes because the regulation of the flash falls off and then you have to control skyscapes over distance or exposure time somehow the performance.
In the photos you can clearly see the stark look. Krass in a way because the perfect, artificial lighting just seems surprisingly strong and the blur does not add peers. The special thing about this combination is the fact that usually skyscapes such photos just are not as likely to see. Blur is often associated with high shutter speeds, reflectors or no additional light. Rarely skyscapes do we see extremely much flash output in combination with this strong blur and so strong skyscapes drawing in the pixels. Blur is just rarely associated with this contrast Porty look and that is precisely the Sexy on it. The drawing looks just departed and we have both the characteristics of the light on the background and the perfect light on the subject in the image. Just totally skyscapes fascinating.
We have photographed skyscapes here with 24mm f1.4 on and had 5 stops of neutral density filters skyscapes in use. Composed were these five panels of two filters with different thickness. Once 2 diaphragms (NDX4) and once 3 f (NDx8). As an option for this lens, one could use a simple 30mm lens or the beloved 50mm 1.8.
So it pays off relatively simple. We have put the lens at f1.4, but have 5 stops ND filter in front of it. So it comes as much light on the sensor as I had set f8. f1.4 MINUS 5 FADE STAGE!
The flash generator was by Richter and a strong 1500Ws GALOOMA. But lo and behold, the 1500Ws we have not at all needed. The power was set to 1/8. In other words, 750Ws, 375Ws, 187.5 Ws ... Hey, lo and behold, you need, not so much. Why? Because we went zoom extremely close to the model with the light. The distance you can see in the photo above does not soooo much. But more than 1m was not the distance to the portrait. The softbox was covered only with the front cloth, the middle cloth we had released. And we already have powerful gespaart performance.
From the approach of such a photo is very simple. Man exposed without flash to the sky and the background. Drawing in the sky and no deep black area in the background is our goal. Manual mode on the camera, ISO 100, 1/125s and aperture on time just as desired on top of 1.4. The neutral density filters provide the appropriate brightness and are to be, or unscrewed. Did you balance the ambient light perfectly, then switches to the flash to and regulates the output high as long or
