It's all about Capturing Light

Photography is all about light, not how good your gear is. There are many tricks to capture more light without over-exposing the shot. HDR is one, I use HDR quite a bit on shots.
Another trick I use is HSS (High Speed Sync.) using an external flash unit. The camera is set in Manual, Shutter Speed is upwards of 1/1000 to 1/2000 sec. Aperture is set for the amount of light you need for the exposure. The flash unit must be capable of HSS. Posting 2 shots below, one HDR, one HSS.
BTW - I use Sony A series cameras. Sigma flashes.

HSS - Taken at aprox 3PM outside, cloudy day.

I guess I am not allowed to post helpful advice in the Main Forum. Every time I do, the admin moves it somewhere else.
The 2nd photo is just out of the camera, no processing.

What does that have to do with the art of photography? Or the topic at hand? :?: :?:

Thanks all for the comments. I love photography and my job is to run sound for bands and Karaoke at bars so I get lots of opportunities to take people pics.
