Thanks Everyone,
Eburge, do you mean to completely meter for the ambient? Then, simply add power to the flash, little by little? I think this is what you mean, and I've read this before, but just wanted to be sure.
With the Christmas lights being the desired backdrop, and the lens open at 1.8, I have to confess that I simply attempted to account for the whole scene. I did not start with just the backdrop of the lights as the beginning of setting exposure.
And, to get the separation, I'd need a second speedlight behind the subject, or maybe a source of continuous, right? These guys were about 5-6 feet in front of the Christmas tree.
Even though I'm excited to get into my speedlight and my cheapo light rig, there is still an intimidation factor. And, I sometimes feel like I'm just guessing my way through.....
Thanks again,
Scott
