No more dark faces!
If the background contains a strong light source, your subject will appear darker in pictures. With a Speedlight, you can fill in shadows to expose your subject evenly while maintaining correct background exposure.


Strong contrast


 
There is much contrast between the girl’s face and the sheen of the water behind. The camera cannot provide correct exposure for both.   By using a flash you can fill in the light for the foreground subject to achieve a balanced exposure. In addition, an external Speedlight gives you enough power, even for telephoto shots.
     
 


Backlight


 
A typical backlight picture, in which the main subject is in shadow.   By using flash you can fill in the light for the foreground subject for balanced exposure. In addition, an external Speedlight gives you the option of bouncing the light for more natural lighting.
