Stroboscopic Photography

  • 1. Flash– is essential for these pictures for it will set out to capture the moving subject in the frame.
  • 2. Aperture- is between f8-f16, is essential for it will decide how much light will be on the picture.
  • 3. Tripod- it aids in a more refined picture and stable shot.
  • 4. Setting- the ISO to a low 100 or 200 eliminates ambient light.
  • 5. Motion- the shutter speed must be adjusted, it be an impact on how the picture looks to the subject’s movements.
  • 6. Light source- is best suited since it focuses on the subject without other settings for lights and reflections.
  • 7. Fluid motions- can be captured in one second and with extremely rapid light strobes more naturally.
  • 8. The strobe- is essential in its speed with how the subject moves and how that comes together into the picture. A fast moving light should be paired by a fast moving subject, while a slowing moving light should be paired with a slow moving subject.
  • 9. Color- color background tends to take longer to go through exposure and is captured longer in pictures.
  • 10. Editing- helps a lot in refining the picture into a better, more polished, finished work.
