Another strobe test. This time outside as the strobe in question is built to overpower outdoor light we went outside. I put it through its paces and even tested out the high speed sync. Keep in mind if you do get a speed light or a strobe and it doesn’t have a high speed sync mode you will be limited to a shutter speed to over 1/250. Otherwise, you will get light sync issues which means half or all of your picture will be a wall of black. You don’t need high speed sync in order to use strobes, I have two really strobes that lack this feature, but this is why I recommend you understand what type of photography you want to do before investing in strobes. If you know you what you are trying to do then you will have a better idea what strobe to get for the work you want to do.
Anyway, these photos were done on a cloudy day. Cloudy days are great because they act as a giant softbox, distributing the light even everywhere. As previously mentioned, I used a strobe but I attached a softbox so this would be a two light set up. I started by adjusting for the daylight and then zeroing in the strobe. All these shots were taken with whatever we found walking up a short road and back. It helps to have access to some amazing locations but you can still do decent photography out in the neighborhood.
