hey H,

Thanks for the compliments!

Here’s a tip:
First try the technique OUTSIDE.
(That way you’ll be sure that the outside light is the main light and you’ll better be able to see the difference)
Try it on a cloudy day where the main subject is in shadow. For ease, make it a person under a tree in the shade.
Shoot without flash. (test shot A)
Then set flash to minus 1 or 2. you should DEFINITELY see the difference.

Please let me know if you don’t and if I can be of more help.

Best!

Marko

I came across your site through a search engine when I was looking for… photography podcasts… I am slowly working my way through all your archives. This episode I hope will help me with my fill flash troubles. I hardly notice a difference between shots I take with a fill flash and ones that I take without. The faces just always seem too dark for me and I have to do a bit of post shoot editing to get them right. Indoors I have little trouble. But, I’ll give your suggestions a try and see what I come up with. Thanks and your podcasts are great! Keep up the good work.
