It was my job to fill the models hair with baby powder.

(Don't use High Speed sync). if you can use this and whatever aperture you fancy. Then just experiment using f stops and ISO only. <br />ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-82521912046208395022014-01-22T23:16:06.173+13:002014-01-22T23:16:06.173+13:00Carol Adrian will always have some idea or other t...Carol Adrian will always have some idea or other to improve things.

It should then freeze motion if your flash is powerful enough to overcome the ambient light. <br />I suspect Catriona will have long gone half way through the set up process.<br />When you get it sorted you can give her a handful of talc it looks magical when it ifs flung from a fast moving arm.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-38980462688389911372014-01-22T17:51:06.322+13:002014-01-22T17:51:06.322+13:00... like a daughter.
