curtain sync

Welcome to Talk Photography, we seem to have picked up a number of new members with technical questions, is this your photography course homework?

If it is the course must be much better than the BTEC course my Daughter did - which hardly touched on real photography, instead concentrating on how you can play with prints to make 3D stacked images etc. I'd describe it as graphic art. Camera settings seemed to be covered in one week with nothing at all on lighting.

Rear curtain sinc involves firing the flash just before the shutter starts to close allowing a dim picture of the preceding porting of the exposure to be finished off with a sharp flash image. It can be used to leave a visible trail behind a moving object.
 
As a general rule I’ll use rear curtain synch when using flash with anything moving. It looks more natural to have trails of the subject behind.

good day.

yes it is a course, new media studies focuses on all aspects of the media with photography as a major.

thanks for the reply, so it only leave the trail behind not in the front hence rear curtain sync?
 
Hi Sello, And welcome aboard TP. "Enjoy"
 
Welcome to the forum ;)
 
maybe I can offer you and all your friends who have signed up to this forum a little bit of advice...

if you sign up, and your first post is a single sentance question asking "what is...." - you're going to get a few of the members pushing back or saying "just do your own homework/google it".

However, if you go into the beginners forum, introduce yourself, give a quick "biography" or details of what you do, what you like shooting, what you feel you'd like to learn from being here, and how you think you could maybe help others on here" then you'll get a far more welcoming response. Happily, this has been your first step, and I'd strongly urge you to build upon this positive start...

If you now proceed to share some of your photo's in one of the photo sharing sections that'd be brilliant. Same thing if you apply your knowledge of photography to giving critique and feedback on other peoples images,

What I'm saying here, is that this is a community, not just a reference library staffed by people for your assitance. Join, participate, give something to the community, and it'll be reciprocated many, many times over.

Don't be offended if people post links to various websites in answer to a question, very often these posted links ARE the best resource that the person knows to explain it - it's a "curated" link if you will. I've posted many links to your college compatriots questions already - because, frankly, the best info I know was in them, and not only was I not going to plagiarise the other site, I wasn't about to re-type 5000+ words and source multiple photos and diagrams in illustration.

You may notice a marker against my name stating that I'm a Staff Member here. As such, what i've stated above would probably be a good thing to take on board, and to pass onto your friends who may also be posting on here - and perhaps also feed back to the lecturer who pointed you at this forum in the first place...

Enjoy your time within our community :)
