Fill Flash on the Beach with Action

A few weeks ago we looked at doing some fill flash at dusk. We covered some good techniques for blending the light so that it is subtle and looks more controlled than a big bright flash feeling. In this tutorial we are looking at working with a very bright sun. It is sometimes daunting, but we hope to show you some techniques that will make it easier to understand. Here is one of the images we are working with today.
