The thing with flash sync is you know about it and sometimes you just have to ignore it.
I was shooting the velodrome again this past Sunday and I would just like to shoot some back light fill flash using my Nikkor 16-35 f/4 to mix things up a bit.
exif tells me the above were shot at f/9, 1/500 and f/8, 1/640. I probably used 1/8 of the power of the Sunpak 120J. The max sync of the D700 is at 1/250s but since the ambient was so bright there were no noticeable black half frame to speak of. The riders were riding fast and close, 1/640 can barely stop the action. The subject was about 10 feet away so the motion blur was not too obvious unless viewed at 100%. Maybe I have to shoot at 1/800 of a second? I routinely shoot at 1/1000 of a second just so I am sure I got clean shots.
