ABSTRACT
PERFORMANCE TIP If the highlights are merrily flashing and the shadows are still banked up against the lefthand wall of the histogram the solution is to increase the amount of fill light, i.e. reduce the difference in brightness between the main light source and the fill light. If using flash as the source of your fill light it would be important to drop the power of the flash by at least two stops and choose the ‘Slow-Sync’ setting (a camera flash setting that balances both the ambient light exposure and flash exposure) so that the flash light does not overpower the main light source positioned behind your subject.
