In this video we are discussing how to overpower the sun with flash. Overpower the sun is a phrase that poorly describes balancing a flash with bright, sunny conditions outside. It's hard to give a single answer for what flash will do it, as it depends on 3 actions. What modifier you use, how far away you use it, and whether or not you use high speed sync.
Different modifiers bounce and throw light in different ways. So, some light modifiers are much more efficient than others, which means they will have more light intensity at the same power. Typically, smaller modifiers have harder, more intense light than larger modifiers, and are more efficient, but that surprisingly wasn't 100% true in this video.
Yes, the flashes were all at full (1/1) power

In this video we are finding out what flash you will need to overpower the sun. Overpower the sun is a phrase that poorly describes balancing a flash with bright, sunny conditions outside. It's hard to give a single answer for what flash will do it, as it depends on 3 actions. What modifier you use, how far away you use it, and whether or not you use high speed sync.
Different modifiers bounce and throw light in different ways. So, some light modifiers are much more efficient than others, which means they will have more light intensity at the same power. Typically, smaller modifiers have harder, more intense light than larger modifiers, and are more efficient, but that surprisingly wasn't 100% true in this video.
Next, is HSS vs SS. High speed sync is a less efficient way to light a subject, and will always require a higher power setting when everything else is equal. So if you stick with standard sync you'll be able to use smaller, less powerful strobes or greater distances.
The goal here was to find the distance that a light at full power could properly expose a subject with a given modifier, in both HSS and standard sync.
