What is a tree shape thingee with lots of lights on it?
Christmas tree?
no, Joe Mcnally with his nikon flashes! LOL

When i was taking some posed wedding shots under bright sun light yesterday (but nowhere as bright as the desert above!), I was taking a lot of photos at 1/2000s to 1/8000s at base ISO as i want to use a large-ish aperture.
Because of that super high shutter speed, 2 SB600s stacked together firing through a translucent umbrella at full power at a distance of only a meter or two barely give me enough power.

Looks like i need to learn from the master and order myself a christmas trees with a dozen of flash lights

or just get a ND32 filter and drop the shutter speed back to under 1/320s?

I think the ND filter is a cheaper option than having MORE flashes. Thanks for the vids!

Yeah ND filter is probably cheaper but Christmas tree is cooler

wotwot,

Thanks for the video links. Joe McNally is an amazing photographer with a good sense of humor and many anecdotal stories.
