mjzee Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm listening now to Dexter Gordon's American Classic. The back cover has a picture of Dex looking at the Statue of Liberty. It appears to have been taken on site (probably at a park on the Jersey side). Yet, even though taken outdoors, the picture seems to show a shadow (caused by the camera's flash) on Dex's right side. It's as if he was photographed in front of a wall, but he appears to be in the open air. Any idea how this effect was achieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 This happens when you use a flash and set the shutter speed slower than the manufacturer's recommended "sync" speed. That's not really a shadow, but Dexter himself recorded on film a split second after the flash shut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
