I do remember that I used my pop up flash and exposed for her face. Then I adjusted my f-stop to lower the amount of ambient light in the background. Most cameras will do this without even changing the settings though. It was really easy and I use this technique all the time, however, now I use off camera flash.Brian Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631113642068875471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883660548484250251.post-46102130586110504442012-04-10T13:04:21.091-06:002012-04-10T13:04:21.091-06:00Did you change the exposure mode and did you still...Did you change the exposure mode and did you still set the exposure for her face?

What I was doing when taking the photo in this tutorial was increasing the light on the subject(my daugher) and keeping the same light in the background. She was in the shade of a building that was behind me. In the first photo she is actually darker and so the exposure is off and the background is blown out. In the second shot, she is actually being brightened and because she has more light falling on her the light in the background shows up darker.<br /> What I would suggest you do is recreate the shot if you can. Take a subject outside and put it in the shade. The background should have light on it. Then shoot a shot without your flash and see what happens. After that shoot the same shot with your flash on and see what happens. Thanks for the question. hopefully I have explained it ok. This is a hard thing to understand. If you don't get it let me know and I will try to explain it in a different way.Brian Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631113642068875471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883660548484250251.post-34444490522669845562012-01-29T10:12:35.041-07:002012-01-29T10:12:35.041-07:00will a ND filter help ?will a ND filter help ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883660548484250251.post-54532043298613610492012-01-21T15:36:47.041-07:002012-01-21T15:36:47.041-07:00You're welcome!!You're welcome!!Brian Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631113642068875471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883660548484250251.post-91499951257951931992012-01-21T07:45:07.287-07:002012-01-21T07:45:07.287-07:00Great tip.

A ploarizer will darken a sky, or take reflection off of windows, but it will not balance the light in the background to the light in the foreground. What I was doing with the flash in the photos was balancing light.

It should be more like "how to use your flash to get better balanced shots during the day" or something like that. Also, yes I do have other flash tutorials on my blog. If you go a few pages back you will run into them.

With all due respect, this is not so much "How To Use Flash During The Day", rather "Use Flash During The Day in certain conditions" - do you have any flash tutorials?
