And yeah, Udub has been

yes. the reason for doing this is to get a darker sky, which is normally the top part of your image. flipping the camera moves the flash-affected area to the part of the sensor that "syncs". since bottom is the part that's out of sync, put your lit subject at the top and your sky at the bottom.
