- Photos OK to edit
Today whilst my brother was visiting with his kids i decided to take a photo or 2 with his kids and my daughter.
It was indoor with not the best light, so flash was definitley required.
Now my problem is, how do you judge correct exposure when using flash, because obvioulsy when using the light meter it doesnt allow for the flash, so i can be largely under-exposed(according to light meter), but once flash goes off, it exposes the picture correct (hopefully).
Is it just a case of trial and error? i`m guessing not, as that seems a little to ameturish.
Normally i don`t mind messing around trying to get settings right, but when i have a 1 year old sat infront of me, it begins to limit my window of oppurtunity .
heres the only pic i managed to get off after messing around a few times.
It seems a little underexposed, and obvioulsy compisition wise, not the best.
Oh, and wb is out i know, like a fool i left it on sunny from earlier today :meh:
