PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES

Synchro-Sunlight Fill-In Flash Photography

A backlit subject, such as a person outside with his/her
back to the sun or indoors in front of a window, may
come out almost as a silhouette it the background is
correctly exposed. On the other hand, if exposure com­
pensation is made to give the correct exposure for a
backlit subject, the background may be washed out. To

fill in the shadows and balance the illumination levels of

the subject and background, you can use an electronic

flash unit even in daytime.

One important fact to remember in balancing the expo­

sure for both subject and background is this:

Exposure

with

a

flash

unit

is

determined

only

by

the

aperture

selected,

whereas

exposure

for

ambient

daylight

is

determined

by

a

combination

of

shutter

speed

and

aperture.
