Slow sync- Technique post

Definition: Slow sync flash is just another term for using your flash with a slow shutter speed. It helps you keep your subject sharp while capturing motion or a dark background. 



Camera settings
Aperture: F11 
Shutter speed: 1" (This long shutter speed allows for movement to be made in order for it to be captured by the light trails).
ISO: 200

Lighting 
-Light source (used in order to form light trails).
-Snoot (used to direct light).

Equipment:
-Tripod (used in order to prevent camera shake and consequent image distortion).
-Nikon D5300 with standard lens (no specialist lens required as not shooting in macro or extreme wide angle).
-Light metre (used to gage the correct settings for the lights in regards to subject placement).
-Dark background (a dark background should be used in order to create an effective contrast between the light trails and background).
