Black Backgroup

What aperture do you need to use to get those photos with all the background turning black?

Thanks!

It's not apeture, it's shutter speed. Higher shutter speed - darker background

The aperture determines the amount of strobe light that gets to the chip/film in the brief time that the strobe fires (1/1000s of a sec). This is adjusted so that the foreground subject is properly exposed. Like DiverLS said above, background colour is determined by shutter speed- 1/60 or quicker for black, and longer for lighter. i find i get a nice green monterey background around 1/15 or so.

as said it is faster shutter speed.Just make sure that the strobe is in sync at the faster speed on your digital camera.I sometimes go to 1/500 or more with an iso of 100 or less for those images.
