Post up your outdoor photos on a sunny day @ f2.8 (or wider) with flash. Please share your lighting details and how you were able to achieve it (Type of wireless trigger, HSS mode, ND, etc...) Thanks!

No cheating in shaded/shadow areas!

The flash metadata didn't get recorder on below, I guess cause of the pocket wizard? ND filter, and I'm pretty sure I was using flash for fill. At least you can see it in the eye, haven't PP these yet.

I want to learn this, because with the way I use my camera (recreation) I'm in harsh noon sun a lot. Can't wait to see some pics.

What do you guys recommend as an on camera diffuser? I won't have the luxury of a lighting setup.

I used to shoot using my pop-up flash but I'll lower the FEC to like -1 or -2 as a fill.

Thanks! I do have a slight nuance though with the shadow of the bouquet. I figured the sun will be bright enough but it seems my flash overpowered the sun a bit too much in that area. The flash is to the bride's front and to the camera's right. Sun is behind and left of camera.

Is that just a straight flash? Maybe I should get a 220 ex just for fill? Those look great for midday shots. I almost have to throw all mine away
