hi all, my colleague and i tried out night flash photography a few days ago and we have a question. hope you can help us.
we went to the Arts House at about 7.30pm and the sky was a lovely dark blue hue. our model stood infront of the Arts House which was brightly lid. we used flash (he used 550ex on Canon 10D and i used SB28 on Nikon F100). the photographs exposed the model and building correctly but our blue sky was all black. is there a way to expose longer to get the blue sky yet not overexposing the building and the model?
if we were on a long exposure mode of 2 to 3seconds, is there some trick (besides asking the model not to move) to keep the model sharp? we encounter some blurring on the model due to the longer exposures.
any advice the above and night flash portrait photography will be appreciated.
thanks!!!
