FILL-FLASH
PHOTOGRAPHY
26
A backlit subject,
such
as
a
person
outside
with
their back
to
the
sun
,
or
indoors
in
front
of
a
window,
usually
appears
as
a silhouette if
the
exposure
is
set
for
background
brightness.
If
the
exposure
is
set
for
a darker, silhouetted
subject,
then
the
background
will
be
overexposed
and
appear
washed
out.
A better
result
can
be
achieved
by
leaving
the
exposure
set
for
the
brighter
background
and
then
using
the
flash
to
illuminate
the
darker
foreground
subject.
This
brings
the
brightness
of
the
foreground
subject
up
to
the
brightness
of
the
background
.
This
technique
is
called "
fill
-
flash
",
and
the
88-24 together
with
a
Nikon
F4
,
F-801/N8008
or
401
sl
N4004s
provides
all
the
exposure
control
to
automatically
accomplish
fill-flash
.
