4. What I want to do is expose for the flash and have the background just a little darker. Here is what I ended up with.. I did it over and over with the same problem having the background way to dark and the tree to bright.

Go to
Doug Box handout. It downloads a pdf file that Doug put out for his lighting seminar. Read it and, based on your image, I would say that you need to follow Method 1. I would also highly recommend going to one of Doug's seminars if it comes near you. Not only is he a very engaging speaker, he gives you your monies' worth in information.
