FILL-FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
A backlit subject, such as a person outside with their back
to the sun, or indoors in front of a window, usually appears
as a silhouette if the exposure is set for background
brightness. If the exposure is set for a darker, silhouetted
subject, then the background will be overexposed and
appear washed out.
A better result can be achieved by leaving the exposure
set for the brighter background and then using the flash to
illuminate the darker foreground subject. This brings the
brightness of the foreground subject up to the brightness
of the background. This technique is called "fill-flash", and
fhe SB-24 fogether with a Nikon F4, F-801/N8008 or F-401s/
N4004S provides all the exposure control to automatically
accomplish fill-flash.
