Whats a funny cunt man

You apparently.

Depends on his shutter speed really, which then depends on what look he is going for.

I shoot a lot of portraits at 250th of a sec and a few tungsten cans don't show up like a big umbrella will.

In my studio I have tungsten light and/or ambient daylight which I can pretty much control, yes I can turn them off, or cover the window, but I can also kill ambient with shutter.

Thanks for the tip. The EXIF data are intact on all my pictures.

For the 3 portrait shots, i have the camera in manual mode with aperture at f/4 ISO 250 and shutter speed of 1/100 of a second with my 430 EXII in manual on 1/8 + -2/3 stop flash power.

Ambient day light is cool because it is much closer to flash than tungsten.

A studio is a different kettle of fish plus he is shooting with speed lights so I think his max sync is 1/200th :/

It's true what you say about ambient being closer to daylight and hence flash than tungsten, just saying though there are workarounds to what you can do to balance light and I am not attempting to educate YOU on the subject but let him know he has options. He could also throw a CTO on his flash, leave his overheads on, kill the outside light and balance the light in this manner, that's if he wanted to use a slower shutter speed.

I don't know why his max sync is 1/200th ... must be his camera. I think most cameras are doing 1/250th max with a few gems throughout the various line-ups that will allow 1/500th ...

Bounce the light off the umbrella

lol should have just bought a softbox isntead of using ur umbrella like a re re
