As someone who likes to use flash on location shoots, i thought i would show how important it is when shooting on a sunny day.
Above is Odette, who you may have read about in a previous post here
We went to a local lake for a shoot on a very bright day so i used flash to balance the bright sunlight that was falling on the scene from behind Odette with a flash to light Odette back up to the background exposure.
Tho two images were taken milliseconds apart, the left image has no flash firing as it hadn't recycled from the previous shot so Odette is a perfect silhouette, the second image is perfectly lit as the flash had re-charged and was able to light the scene.
If i had no flashes, then i would have had to expose for Odette and the background would have nearly blown out to white as the difference in the foreground and background exposure was too great.
So that's why i always bring flash to location shoots, it guarantees good images whatever the natural lighting is doing that day.....
