Somewhere here on GG/G1, I had read a tip about underexposing the background one or two stops to make the sky dark blue, then lighting the subject with your flash to make her pop instead of being underexposed as well.

Anybody know were that post is or can you offer advise on the lighting?

I imagine in camera metering for the BG, but when using a speedlight, is there a rule of thumb to ball park the flash setting or is it just trial and error? I'd like to limit my trial and error time once I'm on the beach
