Hi Julie…All depends how bright it is outside and how narrow your F.Stop i.e. if it was a bright sunny day and you ended up shooting at say 1/250sec and f/22 to get the black background. If the power from your flash is too much even on it’s lowest setting just close down your aperture more; you already have the black background so closing down your aperture is just going to control flash power…should work a treat Hope that helps.

Glyn, That’s amazing that you can get that type of shot in that much light! Thanks for posting. What about strobes? I have Elinchrom 500 BXri and a small battery pack I use for outdoors. Do you think the strobes would be too strong for this type of technique?
