[QUOTE="fhibbs12, post: 167291, member: 12196"] LoL my explanation was horrible. Let's try this again. Scenerio: I am shooting a 2 year old at high noon. Extremely bright out with horrible raccoon eyes. I want to shoot in the 2.8 range and lower. Easy right.. I up the shutter speed to 1/2000 and start shooting.... Well background now looks great but my subject is extremely underexposed.... I spot meter for the subject and now the sky is blown out. I know the background won't be in focus but I still don't want it all blown out white. My goal: 2 stop or so ND filter.... Would this allow me to meter for the background sky still but then allowing me to lower the shutter speed enough to sync the flashs for fill on the subject? Allowing me to shoot with much shallower DoFs mid day in direct sunlight Is that a little clearer on what i am trying to acheive? [/QUOTE]
