Yes, I have received a new flash, finally!
Trying it out, I am confused with some stuff...
ATM I am just trying to use it as a better flash to fill in shadows and whatnot from candid shots, (maybe some bouncing), and I am not sure exactly how to set the correct camera exposure. I understand there are two exposures, background and the subject (flash exposure). I think the flash exposes the subject but how do I expose for the background if its somewhat dark (inside a house at night, with normal lights on) - the shutter will be open pretty long.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Maybe some basic reading that isn't too confusing with numbers or something
