Posted a thread earlier, but I deleted it because of obvious problems. In the other thread, some people directed me to the right search words to put in google. So, now back to the problem.Trying to do a family portrait. Want the lighting to be like the example photo attached. Dark blue skies and dark green grass that 'pops' while everyone is in full sun in a front yard, without highlights burning out or dark shadows.I know that fill flash is the answer, but my on camera flash doesn't quite have enough power to make it happen like in the attached photo.What equipment do I need, and what settings should I expect to use with the my camera/flash?I'm willing to rent whatever I need to make it happen.Also, thanks for the earlier halp /p/.
Ummm... just set colour saturation on your camera to moderate high or high.Have a reflector right near the camera.Problem solved.As least that's what this photo is saying.
>>265757stop down A LOT (as in f/16 or higher)get some big strobes, and set your camera to its highest sync speed, which should be around 1/200, and set your ISO to the lowest setting
Polarizing filter, correct time of day, fill flash.
>>265760>>265790Either of these>>265787Over the top.
I was going to say put the WB on tungsten then gel your strobe with CTO gel to get saturated blue skies (even when it's overcast).But I remember the grass... DAMN GRASS.

>>265975I hate flash pictures during the day since it looks so unnatural. I only use natural light or studio light inside (not that I've shot studio portraits).
>>265994your opinion is not required in this threadif we were on a board about cooking, and someone asked how to cook bacon, it would be useless to mouth off about being a dirty jew.
>>265994You can do the same things with reflectors, only then you risk baking your subject as you light them. But it does allow you the option of low DOF since you can set your shutter speed to above 1/200.
try a diffuser over the subject? set up on a stand, etc, put people under it, get a polarizing filter=??
GTFOno one wants to help you when you post a shitty picture from porn as your examplefuck off
>>266261wouldn't putting a diffuser on the subject cause the relative exposure of the sky to get brighter instead of darker?
>>266274not on, above. if you shoot at the right time of the day itll give you consistent lighting. just a suggestion that ive used before
