Hey folks,
I haven't been on the forum for a while but I'm back, and with a question!
I'm fairly new to my speedlite and I'm really enjoying it, however I can't seem to master the fill flash in harsh/bright afternoon sunlight. I keep blowing out the images, they're way over exposed. I kept the flash at it's lowest number (1/32 I think?) and ISO was at 100. I tend to shoot in aperture priority, which is maybe the problem, but I hate fiddling with the settings when I'm in manual, I feel like it takes too much time as it's not quite 2nd nature to me yet.
Question: What would be the best setting to shoot in these conditions using fill flash?
Below is a photo I took using the fill flash, but I had to do too much post processing to bring down the exposure and fill in the light a little. I don't like relying so much on photoshop if I'm able to get it right through the camera.
