Hello, How do you determine the brightness of your fill flash? Is it an on-camera flash or off-camera?
Thanks! #775567

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your question. I often use the negative numbers, generally negative 1 or 2 on the flash compensation dial. However, in this case, I was using a manual strobe so I had to guess and evaluate the image on the LCD and with the histogram. This doesn’t take very long - usually just a single test shot. I had the strobe on a bracket just to the side of the camera. Regardless of how you do it, flash fill is one of the best ways to make better outdoor portraits.
Thanks for asking! #5011452

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
