So, I've been experimenting with my SB700 speedlight, Nikon D5000, Nikkor 50mm f1.4 in bright light situations. Here is the problem that I am having, when I take portraits with the sun behind, the background is overexposed, so I thought I'd use my speedlight to correctly expose the face without overexposing the background. However, my camera won't (or I don't know how to change the setting) let me set the shutter speed at faster than 1/200 when I attach the speedlight so I still end up with an overexposed background unless lower the aperture but then I can't get the dof that I am looking for. Any genius ideas (other than compose the picture so that the sun isn't behind the model)?
Many Thanks
