Correctly Exposing Skies and Subjects

Well then maybe the use of their flash is so well honed that I can't even tell they've used one. I'll have to keep researching. If I don't have a flash (which I don't), will a reflector be just as good?

BTW - you guys really tell it like it is. I think I'm gonna like it here

As long as you have some light to reflect.. yes, reflectors can help. Every little bit helps, if done properly!

With the pros and seasoned vets that is EXACTLY the case. I can only hope to that competent some day. Until then, I'm just going to keep trying and learning. The more I learn about using artificial light in the absense of or in conjunction with ambient, the more indespensible I find it.

It's all about the light.

It sure can be! It all depends on how you use it, and the available light. The best thing anyone can do in any field is learn to use the tools at their disposal.

If you have something and don't know how to use it.... you probably won't.

Or you will, and get less than desirable results..... then fault the equipment rather than the user.
