I don't use flash much at all but have had a few instances this week to want to use the pop up one for fill.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I simply popped up the flash and used between -2.3 and -3.0 on flash compensation and then played with my aperture to get a good exposure. My non flash exposure was ISO 200 wide open f2.8 at about 48mm on the 24-70 and 1/1600. With the flash I was way over exposed because the synch speed was 1/250 and there was still a lot of light even with a -3.0 on the flash
My technique was was mostly trial and error and I would have had to stop down a lot to to get the right exposure so a shallow DOF then wasn't really an option.
Thoughts/help on proper technique?
Jack and Guy - yes from the workshop lesson in San Juan a reflector would have actually been perfect.
