[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 780442, member: 48483"] I will just throw in an idea, but I am not a flash guru by any means. First photos are low-key exposure. I believe you would want to shoot with spot metering there, and add negative exposure compensation as needed. Last photo is more high-key. Again, spot meter on face and add some positive exposure compensation if needed. I would think you should ditch the umbrella for low-key and try a more directional light modifier. Maybe even go to the supermarket and buy a box of plastic drinking straws and form them into a snoot that can be taped in front of the flash to direct the light one-way only. [/QUOTE]
