Remote High Speed Sync

Hiking out Flashes to Port
In January of last year I was commissioned to shoot some dramatic action shots of an Olympic sailor, however, I did some image research and wasn't overly impressed by any images I found so I decided that a good approach would be to try and light the subject and by doing so I could afford to underexpose the available light. This would help add to the drama, plus in doing so I would be able to get some light into the water spray coming off the boat. In order to get this shot, I needed to freeze the action using a high shutter speed and combine that with flash, so how was I going to achieve all that?

Obviously, I needed to use flash, but I knew I would be shooting at a high shutter speed, so it had to be high-speed sync HSS. The beauty of HSS is that it allows you to shoot at a high shutter speed whilst still syncing the flash, which was unheard of a few years ago.
I decided that I would use two flashes, both for the extra power and to avoid ...
