Studio lights run a little slower, from 1/300-1/2000 on average depending on the brand and quality, and unlike speedlights they have their shortest duration at full power and get slower as you turn them down.
This depends on the design of the strobe head. My older Normans all have long flash durations at the brightest output and shorter durations at less output, but some modern units may have less difference in duration from full output to minimal output, and some units like Alien Bees have a shorter duration at full output than at minimum output, strange as that may seem. Elinchrom heads and Speedotrons also have longer durations at full output.
Maybe I can use the same technique when chasing around the grandchildren. Does a standard flash unit have a short enough burst or do you need a "special" flash unit?
Thanks for the explanation. Maybe I can use the same technique when chasing around the grandchildren. Does a standard flash unit have a short enough burst or do you need a "special" flash unit?
