Yes, the oh so fascinating story of how to set up the stage for the high speed ballet. Now I found this wonderful site made by this nice person named Mike. Its all about how to set up, so yay. At least I'm not in this endeavor all alone.
Now according to our good friend Mike, the best thing is to keep the set up simple. Make sure you are very, VERY close to the object you are about to photograph because flash is greatly reduced when doing the high speed stuff. Because yesterday's reasoning about how we need to be fast with our flash and also mentioned was the unattached flash mechanism. This time around we won't be using that big hulking thing (because honestly I don't own one). Now, remember close to the object. Try also using that tripod or stool that you may be using to substitute that. This way there is no nasty noise. Ugly nasty noise!
KEEP ISO LOWER than 800!!!!!
This is a tip from Mike because its also one of those things that reduces the nastiness of noise. I honestly hate that noise. I should just put a pair of ear muffs on the camera. Stupid visual static.
After that, play around with your fstop so that you get a chance to see which setting gets you the most appropriate clarity. Now lets hope this works out! Add colored objects for the background. Whootness!
And for the record, these pictures were taken this afternoon with the camera that I bad mouthed yesterday, so remember all... with a lot of studying and attempts, we learn we can do things you could never image.
