While doing outdoor shooting, sometimes we are tempted to take pictures of people / objects with blue sky background (bright). Usually this condition can be obtained at noon (above at 10). However, is usually the desired outcome is not as expected, for example, the object in the image is a silhouette or a white sky background (over).This happens because we are fooled by lightmeter difficult lighting conditions, the background is too bright (bright blue sky) while the object is darker than the background sky. So when we do the metering object into the sky had become silhouettes, whereas when we do metering to the object, the sky turned white.
These conditions can be overcome with the use of flash. The goal is that the object and background pins (not over or silhouette). Here are step-by-step photo shoot:
1. Adjust the angle and image composition to be made.
2. Use the manual mode on the camera.
3. Turn the lights flash
4. Shuter Arrange a safe speed so that the camera steady (not shake), I usually set the speed Shuter, 1/ISO or 1/focal length lens.
5. Perform metering into the sky, and set the aperture so that the indicator shows the camera lightmeter exprosure that under (be ½, 1, or even 2 stops), typically by way of discouraging aperture, and set the focus.
6. Finally, push your camera Shuter.
Above techniques sometimes raises an error in the form of the object to be photographed little over. This can be overcome by reducing the aperture of the camera and reduce the intensity of the light flash. Shooting distance to the object is also worth noting in this technique. If using the internal flash (GN 12-15), then the distance between the camera and the object shooting should not be too far away (1-2 meters), whereas if you use an external flash with a GN larger, it may be more far shooting distance.
