Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):

 

I have used shutter sync a few times in dark to difficult lighting situations where a flash is needed. From my experience of sync speed the most common seems to be 250-shutter speed. Flash however isn’t what I like to use often since it tends to age the subject. For instance if you take a picture of a female age 18-19 your flash can harden the subject and make her look like a 26-27 year old. Gel can help however it still has the ageing effect.
