This is a simple and easy lesson on what fill flash can do for you when shooting into back light. Its one of the 1st chapters from my new DVD, Canon 580 EXII / 430 EX II Speedlite Crash Course DVD. Ive made it especially for beginners, so its easy to understand and help you to use your flash like a pro in no time. It will be available for order in late April of 2009 from my blog at: http://www.michaelthementor.com/store

What impact (if any) does metering have in this situation? Just wondering. Thanks. :)

@molicajoy He mentioned Canon but photography fundamentals go for all equipment. Nikon's have flash exposure compensation functions; you will need to look in your camera's manual to find out where it is. As he stated in this film (1:34), all cameras with flashes have this function. My dad uses Nikon with flash compensation so I know Nikon's do but don't know if they have a different name for it. Just an FYI if you want Nikon specific info check out the 'Nikonians'. A blog of Nikon lovers.

@venuecam The polarizer isnt cheap btw... In any case, if you use polarizer you lose some light stops, so you have to increase exposure... I think it would be useless in this case!

@venuecam Yeah a know, they are a bit pricey, but a polarizer isnt what you need I think. The polarizer filter removes the polarization on light rays that come into the lens... On sunset there is no light polarization (or its very low), so you wouldn't notice any change I think. Better is a Neutral Density filter, it levels the light coming into the lens, especially when there is a strong light source.

@TheMash84 The cost is the only issue there but i'll try that. Thanks.

@venuecam Maybe a Neutral Density filter is better than a polarizer

Would adding a polariser in low light help even out the sun glare?
