Tip of the Day: Fill Flash to Unhide Details

If you shoot a lot of portraits outside during day, you without a doubt have encountered situations where the background was rendered properly, but the individual in the foreground is very dark. Fill flash will save you, and help you properly expose both your foreground, and background. Every situation is different, but you should aim for -2 to - 2 1/2 stops of flash compensation. This will assure that just enough light is added to light up those shadows, and reveal precious detail.
