All the H2 lenses are leaf shutter and sync up to 800th of a second. You can do the exact same thing with your DSLR however there is a caveat, you are limited to your lower sync speed. You just need more flash power, which is really no problem as I do it all the time. Yes Ryan, the camera I was using was a Hasselblad H2 with a leaf shutter lens.

Some very useful information. This post is very helpful even for me at this stage in my career. Do you ever use white boards or reflectors outdoors to light your subjects ? For example, I know when I first started shooting, I couldn't afford to buy or even rent really nice lighting so I experimented with reflectors. Would love to know your thoughts. -- Jason Hi Jerry, the blog looks great! Some very useful information. This post is very helpful even for me at this stage in my career.

As someone with literally zero understanding of the technical aspects of your craft, I can offer nothing more intelligent than this -- can you please pass my phone number along to Kevin Connolly? Seriously though, I love the beautiful images you capture and the passion you have for sharing them.
