#42659 Speedlight and camera settings for sunrise, backlit shoot

Posted by mebond on 13 October 2016 - 09:44 AM

Thanks for the advice!  I guess i will go manual...I was hoping to take the pics right as the sun was coming over the horizon so I wasn't fighting a lot of ambient light, and could get the best background.  I thought about the wind...may ditch the softbox depending on conditions.  I can have the strobe close so I trust power won't be an issue.  Ambient light changes rapidly just as the sun comes over the horizon, but I probably can keep up with it.  Since the window is a few minutes I was hoping for a "fire and forget" solution.  Sounds like it will be more trouble than its worth.  Again, appreciate the help.
