Re: Rear curtain sync trouble with background curtain light
I had a test run with a friend now. We first tried to use the lengt of the stage we where in betweeen the side curtains with the camera had the constant light on me and made me walk towards the chairs in the theather insted of sidewise from left to right as in the other once i show her. The constant light cant be dimmed down, but put some fabric over it, but no chance in hell we could see it trowing light on the wall on the other side. Even when i was in the picture. So that did not work.
So we then started with one light from behind me and set up a kind of black wall and then placed the consant light on the side to the movie theather and angeled it so the light did not hit the back curtain but started hitting in an angel on the side curtains. We then did the same on the other side. I did not get sooo good light up that i did when I had it straight on the backdrop but got rid of the structure.. The test rabit myself did not take of the socks so thats why me feet are missing. Theese are straight out of cam shots, but i think it will be the best solution to avoid the structure in the back.
Her is one with light straigth on:

Here is the last for the test, if i really open it up in camera raw I see the curtains offcorse but then we are talking raising expsosure on Nikon D800 with 1-2 - 3 stops.

Re: Rear curtain sync trouble with background curtain light
I just want to mention that unlike your first set of photos, this most recent set of test shots maintains a relatively uniform white balance throughout the image. Of course, that's really good!

Thank you. Anything to add about the other way to light on the pictures i just added compared to the one in the start off the post? I at least got rid of the lines in the curtains.

It's difficult to tell from such small image files that you are posting, but I'm fairly certain I can see those lines in the first and last image of the most recent set of three images. If the image file was larger, I wonder if I would also see the curtain in the middle image. Regardless, it's obvious that the curtain is a LOT less noticeable in that most recent set.
I've been following the thread and don't have anything to add that hasn't already been mentioned.

Yeah the first one they are there.Because i had the light the way to provoke it to show the lines. In the last they are probably only a little on my shorts,at least when i look at they large, but much less than in the other pictures. From the first test in the start of the post. Thank you for your feedback.
