p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Elinchrom Quadra A Head Flash duration problem? | |
A basic water pour is actually very challenging for flash duration, especially as you increase the magnification (higher subject speed across the frame).
t.5 times of 1/6000 actually equates to t.1 times of around 1/2000 second, which is more of an accurate estimation of what the equivalent shutter speed would be in ambient light.
The Quadra is fast, but not quite fast enough for this kind of shooting. Most people doing water droplet/splash photography use either small speedlights or Einsteins (or crazy expensive Broncolor gear). I don't think your flash tube is getting slower with age.
