Hey Kelly,

Just trying to get a better understanding of what you are doing here. When you set up this shot, what are you metering for? In other words, where is your starting point? Are you metering for the couple, the sky or the ambient light in the background?

Also, when you say ambient light are you referring to the field or is the sky your main interest?

I think what Craigsexton is saying is going in the right direction. What I would do is start off metering for the sky and let the flash expose for the couple.

Sorry for the questions, but I am asking this because your apertures seem to be all over the place and I'm not sure exactly where you are starting from.

Also, I see you, like me have the Lightsphere. In the instructional DVD they have a model shoot on a boat. What they did was expose for the sky using the camera's highest flash sync, use TTL fill flash to expose for the model. Now, I know the sphere isn't going on the metz, but the premise is the same for setting up the shot.
