need some pro tips here for live music stuff with flash
i usually set my aperture to f/4 and my shutter speed to like 1/50 or something, ISO at 100 (lowest it can go) and let my flash in automatic mode.
now my problem is my subjects are well lit, everything is cool, except my background is pretty much black (doesn't help that the walls are black in most places either lol)
i've heard about dragging the shutter which is just slowing down my shutter speed to like 1/5, but i've tried that and it really doesn't change anything at all...
i've tried using manual power on the flash, again doesn't help me, because if i put it in low power, my subject is underexposed, high power, it's overexposed, it doesn't even seem to affect the background at all.
what's my problem here?
also, do i need a better diffuser? i'm either using an index card and bouncing from the ceiling, or bouncing without card, and also ABBC. all are pretty much the same except the straight bounce has more shadows (obviously)
