This image was shot with (only moments ago) Hasselblad X1d mounted on the Alpa 12 Plus with a Schneider 120 and Profoto studioflashes.
So, how did I do it?

Long enough flash duration?

Ouch...nope! :toocool:
Na, not quite. I had ambient light coming in from windows and normal lights on in the room.Room with curtains/blinds closed, artificial lights on, focus on subject, turn lights off , put camera on "B" (or something equivalent) and start exposure, flash manually, end exposure, put normal room lights back on.
I don't know if this is how you did it, but that's what I would do when I would not be able to have my camera trigger the flashes normally.
Especially if you did something different I'd be very interested to know
Then the title should be "X1d + ES + LS + studioflash". :grin:It is actually a very simple solution.
1. Normal live view composing and focusing
2. Close and cock the Copal shutter
3. Start a 4 sec exposure with Electronic Shutter
4. Let cam settle for the first 2 seconds and then trigger the Copal with a cable realese - flashes triggered by standard sync cable to Copal.
Done
Pretty good experiment.True, but I was very clear on what equipment I used in the very first line of the first post a little misleading on purpose
I shot with this method all afternoon yesterday and works great!
