RE: Photography Lesson in Light - Malibu Model
The correct exposure would have been f16 because it was full sun. But I wanted a shallow depth of field, so I slapped on my varying ND filter to knock down a few stops of light. It's like putting sunglasses on your lens. A great trick I learned by working on movie sets.
Lastly, when working with flash the limitation for most DSLR's is the flash sync speed. For my Nikon D800 it is 1/250 of a second.
I see! So the flash was the parameter I was missing :)
When dealing with flash there are two other variables of exposure to consider. It gets more complicated but a lot more control.
