Hi
I am needing some guidance for fill flash? I currently live in Cyprus so bright sunlight is a problem pretty much all day! I really need to start using fill flash for shadows. But I REALLY don't have a clue with flashes!
Any advice or websites where I can get learning how to use them? Or basic tips? I have two Canon 430EX ii's that pretty much never get used! I have a Canon 5D iii and triggers so I can get OCF. I have also bought a shoot through umbrella and hardly used it!
I am getting a lot of requests to photograph friends at the beach. Now I'm pretty handy at lifting shadows in LR and photoshop but that gets time consuming and I'd like to get it right in camera!
I have tried a reflector (silver side) but it blinds people! The white side isn't strong enough.
I have tried shooting just before sunset but the golden hour is crazy it's THAT golden and everyone is orange and that needs toning down or a custom WB setting!
We get amazing sunsets here and I rather like this not completely silhouetted shot:

But if I wanted to photograph them facing me with the lovely sunset behind (with flash) would I take a meter reading off the sky, lock it then focus on the family?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
