Subject: EOS flash question
people in the
foreground were totally overexposed (I guess +2) and the background
(some 5-8m away) was exposed correctly.
That's because the camera and flash correctly metered the background but
because those in the foreground were so much closer, they got blown out.
There are at least a couple ways to remedy this situation. One way is to get
the flash off camera and try as best as possible to get the flash as close
to the same distance from the foreground and background. Here's another way.
If the foreground is the main subject, select the focusing point manually
with the camera in spot metering mode. With the camera focused on the
forground subject the flash will expose for it instead of the background. I
believe there's a Custom Function that has to be set in order to accomplish
this, though. Another way would be to just simply use available light,
provided there's enough of it.
