Okay since i'm delving into this realm of photography (flash/strobes, before was available light and landscapes).
I have a question two or three to ask.
Maybe it's because I've been over thinking things and making it more complicated than it should be.
So bare with me...
What I want to understand is, when shooting a portrait, say it's metered for F/8 and a shutter speed of 100...if that's the exposure reading you get, without flash.
What exactly should the flash be doing, I mean if the scene is metered for 18% grey, f8-100, (or you for that matter, for the pic), setting the flash to a +0.3 or even a full stop up, to bring out the model?
Or down a bit (for whatever effect it is you're going for)
2nd scenario would be, say you're in aperture mode, shooting and in order to get 18%, i'm assuming the camera will tell the flash "okay the scene is underexposed, need you to bring it up to 18% value" is this correct?
thanks guys, sorry if it's not clear, but these thoughts are all jumbled in my head alone.
