Fill-Flash,Fill-Flash! Do not be afraid!

Hi Ricardo, first off, this is another delightful winter scene from you. Lucky you to be in such a beautiful area. The only negative as far as I'm concerned is the muddy dark trees with snow on the boughs in the foreground. This could well have been solved quite simply by using the internal flash, possibly either on max or by turning it down a bit. As a example see my "Winter Church" shot http://myolympus.org/document.php?id=5342 Remember that a scene has many zones and one needs to bring those zones into a reasonable value with one another. All this only goes to show just how amazing our eyes are! We don't see the huge differences in tonal and light values that the camera does. When in doubt, use fill flash, at the very least as an optional choice shot. Happy shootin' Ricardo.

Thank you very much Randall. I appreciate your comments and suggestions. I usually use the fill flash technique in many of my pictures, but in this case I remember I had a problem because the snow flakes gave me a glaring or white dots in my picture, they reflected so much the flash light, unfortunately I don?t have or is not easy to find this files, that I would like to show to you . But thanks because until know I did not realize the picture could be improved in this subject. I tried alittle with photoshop and really it looks much better. Thanks again Randall !!, best regards,
Ricardo
