I am very new to the concept of OFF Camera Flash, and would like some advice on how to set up for a portrait with a dramatic sky.
I get the bit about taking an ambient reading of the background so in this case the cloudy sky, so lets say ISO 200, F16 @ 1/160TH.
I then place OCF to the left of the subject to light it.
Then should I take a light meter reading from the face towards the added light source? based on the above what should I be aiming to achieve on the light meter. ( I understand shutter sync speed)
thanks in advance
