Chapter 12 ■Making Light Work for You 413
Figure 12.9
I deliberately
used flash and
slow sync to
separate this
Roman sphinx
sculpture
(limned in
bluish light
from the flash)
from the
background
illuminated
by warmer
incandescents.
■Rear-curtain sync.As noted previously, in this sync mode, the front curtain opens
completely and remains open for the duration of the exposure. Then, the flash is
fired and the rear curtain closes. If the subject is moving and ambient light levels
are high enough, the movement will cause that “ghost” exposure that appears to be
trailing the flash exposure.
