the action shot
Next up on my shot list was an action shot. I had heard rumors that the SB-5000 could shoot two to three frames in rapid succession. That meant instead of cap- turing one lit image in an action sequence, I might be able to get two or three. To test this idea, I moved off the ridge below Skyler. He’d be running along the ridge kicking sand, and I wanted to capture as many frames as I could with each pass.
I decided to use a 20" FourSquare softbox for travel portraits, I needed a softbox that could mount multiple flashes for this shot. The FourSquare box allows up to four speedlights to be attached, which would be necessary if I was shooting in high-speed sync (at shutter speeds faster than 1/250). In high- speed sync mode, speedlights use a lightning-fast strobic mode to ensure the subject is evenly lit using very fast shutter speeds.

Firing more than
one speedlight increases your effective lighting range, and reduces recycling times.
