Lets use the photo I took below. As you can see the background is super bright. What kind of setting shall I do? Shall I use Spot Metering, Evaluative, Partial, or center weighted average? Someone told me to use small aperture to make the background dark and I assume fast shutter (1/200 is the fastest I can go with my flash if Im not mistaken). So my question is, when I look at the metering, I need to purposely underexpose it right? How much? Just by trial and error and experience? Then with the flash it will make my subject bright and the background dark? I need all the help I can get. Thanks!
