[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 456227, member: 14443"] you have tungsten lighting. you can either overcome the yellow by flashing the scene or not flashing and adjusting kelvin directly in the camera to make the color more neautral. this has nothing to do with the exposure. just the yellow color cast in the picture. you have enough ambient light, that much is clear and there is no sign of flash use. it could be the flash fired but the large amount of ambient light in the picture overpowered the minute amount of flash. the ambient light gave the majority of the exposure here and the flash hardly made a contribution to the exposure. seems to me there was a longish exposure through shutter as it isnt tack sharp. and for sure high iso, because there is a lot of grain. actually there is no eveidence of flash at all. not even catch lights. it says youre a semi pro. im sure youve dealt with these situations before? why the constant adjustments? cause the metering sucks. nothing has advanced with it. I will say this. even since the F5 in the film days which it boasted some amazing breakthrough tech (like COLOR matrix metering and actually having 50000 actual scenes in it for perfect expsoure)in the flash/camera metering, and till to date, cameras havent advanced a single bit when it comes to proper exposure/metering. the so called advanced 3d matrix ballanced fill flash will underexpose at the slightest hint of anything bright in the scene. it doesnt understand backlit it doesnt understand anyone wearing dark clothes or bright clothes. its a stupid 18% grey system that doesnt recognize any scene in front of it. I shot an afternoon wedding on friday. the event was partly indoors (dancing/bar) and the tables/food was outdoors. part shaded part sun. my fingers were tired as crap from nonstop adjust EC. its just crap. you need to read a scene and adjust accordingly. nothing has advanced.
