[VP SINGH]

Alex normally what power setting you had on the strobe in Challange Part I.

This is not a correct question, I guess. The power settings of the flash is dictated by exposure – ISO, and aperture that photographer has on camera. Different lens, different distance to a shooting subject, the different light modifier will also give you different requirements for the strobe power-wise.
Because of this, I never memorize power settings of the strobe, I set it every time I start shooting looking at the result to get a correct exposure. with my experience, I can predict how much I need to put power in it with 90% accuracy 🙂
On that particular shot, we had somewhere around 60-120WS of the power.
