Re: Understanding Exposure
Kelly,
Your problem is you still don't know what values you are getting in your scenes and then how much more light you need to add to tame them. the Band shot needs more flash and a faster shutter speed to darken the ambient light. that will get you the rich blue in the sky and keep from burning up their shoulders with highlights.
Basically, it is three fold.
Sunny 16 for the sky, as long as the Sun is not in the frame. (put sun behind or to the side of you.)
The greater the angle of the accent light, the more specular it is, and the brighter affect it will have.
Own enough flash power to deliver the f:stop you need at the distance you must work from.
