Thus far, I've learned there is an extremely fine line between underexposed and completely blown highlights with the 50mm lens in full manual. Got any suggestions for how to predict that beyond a ton of practice and a practice snapshot? Part of that is that I wanted to use the aperture open to reduce the depth of field but also wanted to use the flash to fill in shadows. The flash limits the shutter speed to 180, and with f1.7 that's a completely blanked out picture. I think I need to read up on how to achieve the same effect without the aperture open so wide, but advice and tips are welcome.
