If the environment is dark enough, the eye will adjust to the brightness produced by the strobe and will therefore only see images when such a flash illuminates the scene.<br \/>\nThe result is movements that appear choppy and consist of a sequence of images. So much for that, but how does it all work!?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2.jpg\" alt=\"02 Stroboscopic Flash Photogenics\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The following is required:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Dark large room\/area or photo studio<\/li>\n<li>camera<\/li>\n<li>camera tripod<\/li>\n<li>Flash lamp with light shaper (e.g.: Beautydish)<\/li>\n<li>radio trigger<\/li>\n<li>athlete or model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Now how does this work in practice?<\/h2>\n<p>During our training here in our photo studio in the Westend, we photographed a model that made a jumping movement. In order to be able to show several frozen movements in one picture, you have to mount the camera on the tripod, set the exposure time to a relatively long time, in our case 2s, then have the model placed where the jump is likely to be made and you are in the air located.<br \/>\nConnect the model to focus, turn off the autofocus and stop moving the lens to avoid focusing on a wrong plane. With the flash lamp used, it is important that the modeling light is switched off so that the surroundings before and after the stroboscopic flashes are dark enough to avoid annoying &quot;wiping movements&quot; in the picture.<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#039;s go.<\/h2>\n<p>The photographer gives the start command, presses the shutter button and at the same time the model begins to move. During motion execution, the stroboscopic flash now flashes as often as the photographer wants and how many frozen motions should be achieved.<br \/>\nIf you do not have a stroboscopic flash, you can alternatively use the radio trigger or trigger the flash manually on the flash body.<br \/>\nSince the surroundings are dark, the movement only becomes visible and frozen when the flash hits the movement and the sensor is exposed.<br \/>\nYou can see what the end result looks like below.<br \/>\nYour Belinda<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6199 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1.jpg\" alt=\"01 Stroboscopic Flash Photogenics\" width=\"717\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1.jpg 717w, https:\/\/photogenika.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>W\u00e4hrend unserer Azubischulung in der letzten Woche probierten wir das \u201eStroboskopblitzen\u201c aus.
