Rear Curtain Sync


In this episode Mark will show how some cameras offer the ability to fire the flash at just before the second curtain closes. This is called rear or second curtain sync and it is used to freeze motion at the end of the exposure. When making long exposures while firing a flash rear curtain sync creates the effect of motion blur trailing the main subject.

Shooting with the Nifty 50


In this episode Mark will show us how to get photos with that really shallow depth of field and typically overexposed to really blow out the detail in the background, just like some of the photographers that we feature on “How’d They Do That?”. To see Mark’s results with each of the different cameras, visit the AdoramaTV flickr page here: Nifty 50 shots
