A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I know what it is. The lights aren’t fast enough to sync with the shutter speed.
The same doesn’t happen with a speedlight
It’s not that the lights aren’t fast enough it’s that above a certain speed your shutter isn’t fully open at one moment, instead it’s a slit travelling across. The reason your speed light works is because in hss mode it rapidly flashes, effectively creating a constant light during the exposure. Source: 23 years working at a place called ‘The Flash Centre’
