Derrick's Tips

1) Master Your Flash. Dial back flash exposure compensation for a more natural looking fill light

2) Use regular exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation together for exposure mastery.

3) Lower your horizon. If you have a great sky, lower that horizon for more interesting images.
