I was wondering how to properly expose for backlit subjects, while not blowing out the background?
Here was the situation I was faced with last weekend: in Banff, we (my bro, his wife and I) were at a lookout point, overlooking Lake Louise and the Fairmont. The lookout was shaded, and it was a fairly sunny day. I was taking a picture of my brother and his wife with the view behind them, and thought the flash would brighten them up - it didn't And, I wasn't exactly sure what else to try. I'm heading to Jasper for the long weekend, and I would like to have a better result than last time :/
Suggestions, anyone? Looking back, all I can think of was to take a picture exposed for the background, then another exposed for my brother and his wife, then blend together on Photoshop?
