English term or phrase: light sink
I was selected to do much of the action photography for the 125th anniversary commemorative book of historical Trinity Church in Boston.
The enormous, dark wood edifice soaked up dozens of rented 2400 and 5000 watt/second strobe units.
The place was a “light sink.” I could not pump enough power into the cathedral.
