<p>I'm not sure if Nancy is trying to get the same result I am, but I am trying to take a photo of a subject, where I can have the remaining background 'black'/'dark' (invisible black backdrop). Doing a search on the topic, it states to set your camera to 'maximum/optimum sync speed' thus my reason for finding this forum question when doing a search. <br> I also am using the Nikon D750, with a Yongnuo YN568EX speed light (one of their newest versions) after noting Tony Northrupt of "Stunning digital Photography" mentioned it's a worthy unit for it's price. It works great for general photography, so I would now like to use it to get the invisible black backdrop to use in portraiture, or for other subjects.<br> I've also picked up a flash ring (LED) and would like to use it in a similar fashion, albeit that may need even more information before I get that to work as above. Thus far, when using the flash ring, it 'looks' to be quite bright if looking at it when the camera shutter is used...but the sync seems to be way off, in that the photo even at close range (using my macro lens) seems very dark??? Appreciate any help/advice on this topic!</p>
