Lesson Learned: Remember the Sync Speed

Oops! I was so concerned with tinkering with the exposure time that I forgot that I was shooting with a flash. My camera's max flash sync speed is 1/320. As you can see, the shutter started to close at the top of the frame which blocked the flash from reaching the image sensor. Luckily I chimped, saw the problem, and immediately corrected my mistake. Photo info: 52.5mm focal length, 1/640 sec, f/3.5, ISO 200, 1/16 flash power?, 24mm flash zoom?, shoot-through umbrella
