Great pictures!! Can I ask what you used/settings to make these pictures? Im sort of a newbie with photography and shooting into the sun/light is one of my weakest points. Could you tell me exactly how you did these shots? thanks so much!!

Thank you..

I metered for the sky in AV.. Then used the settings in M...

I had a 430exii on camera, with a FEC of -2/3.. For Fill

Once your sky is metered, you'll just have to adjust your FEC, till you get the exposure correct on the subject.. I think it took a 2-3 shots

i have been looking and hearing good things about this lens on the 5d classic...... i joined the club yesterday and hopefully the lens will be here in time for me to take it out over the weekend

Ok this might sound incredibly noobish but how exactly do you meter for the sky? and I have found on my flash that I can only get an FEC of -2/3 in ettl mode.. I Obviously need to practice more with flash lol. also did you have any diffuser on your flash head?..

Thanks Alot for the help

Let me get that...

He was in AV mode.
Then he pointed it to the sky.

So you got the Apeture right? Since you set it...
when you point it to the sky the camera will tell you what shutter speed it will use for proper exp.
Keeping that in mind ...
He put the cam to Manual.
Put the metered ( apeture and S.speed he got when he "METERED" the sky for proper exp )
the he used his 430exii on camera, with a FEC of -2/3. FEC = Flash exposure compensation

Heres one i did during a recent trip to the Corning Museum of Glass..

There will be more

Heres a couple more from my 28-75. This have become my favorite lens.

I find the 50D and Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 make a great combination..
