Shooting front curtain sync

- See, when shooting 1/4 of a second, you have to anticipate lots of stuff not going the way you anticipate, 'cause the veils are in a very different place at the end of my exposure than they were at the beginning. Beautiful, and that's nice, and ready, one, two, three. (camera clicking) Nice. (camera clicking) Okay, interesting thing. I religiously, religiously have my flash in rear curtain sync, but I think in this instance I'm going to with front curtain sync, because she's not moving relative to camera, and I want to know that the flash is occurring when I'm seeing her face, 'cause right now, I'm at half a second, so that flash is going off at the end of my shutter instead of the beginning of my shutter. (camera clicking) I'm going to alter that. I'm going to change that up and see what I can do about having the flash go at the very beginning of my exposure instead of the end of my exposure. (camera clicking) Nice. So all that is kind of part of the thinking related to timing.
