Default Re: First Time With Metz Flash

Thanks guys. I need to understand a few things:
1.) What atmospheric conditions need to be present to predict a good sunset.
2.) I need to get the Metz off the camera and onto a stand. I am waiting for my radio units to arrive, and until then, I am stuck on camera.
3.) How to expose for ambient light. Which metering system to use. I was using spot metering in all of these, as it seems that would be the best thing to meter the sky, IF that is the correct thing to do. I spot metered the sky to the left of the sun, then set my Metz one stop higher than the meter read. Given that it was on camera, I don't think the results were fair.
4.) I have no idea how I did the last shot. I need to make sure I am recording the details or I will not learn.
