Practical Uses of HSS

HSS or High Speed Sync can be used for many things including and the most common use, overpowering the sun. 

However, I find it particularly useful for other purposes, such as creating a completely black or nearly black background.

The image above was taken indoors with an ISO of 1/100 and a shutter speed of 1/4000. This combination was sufficient to achieve a nearly black background. 

Be aware that if your flash is not powerful enough to handle such a high shutter speed, you may notice some banding in the darker areas of the picture.
