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.

99% when you’re shooting with big strobes/flashes they’re so much more powerful than lights around.
A gym like this is actually quite dim for the camera , that’s why if you go to getty and look at indoor shoots of actual games you’ll notice how much noise there is.
To freeze motion like the photographer is doing you also need strobes with high flash sync , and to be that powerful those must be some expensive lights.
My godox lights for example don’t go higher than 1/400 without adding shadows in one side
Absolutely not. You leave your shutter at 1/125 or 1/250 or whatever, use your other exposure triangle elements to black out the ambient, and your exposure time becomes your flash duration. "High speed sync" is much much slower and far worse at freezing motion than just shooting with traditional strobes.
good luck trying to freeze a ball in the air with 120 or 250 lol , also 250 will be high speed sync
There are multiple cameras on the market that can sync at 1/250 without switching to HSS.
