I'm a wedding photographer.... something you're doing I battled with a
long time... trusting your camera's light meter to guage flash.... not
a good idea when shooting anyone wearing white. the bride is badly
underexposed and the father's ****rt is also white... you'll notice
that both of these are under exposed. Light meters guage lighting
based on what the normal reflective value of human skin is... which is
about 18% if I remember correctly... white materials (Clothing)
reflect about 50%.... so you're camera think's your getting enough
light when you're really not... a good rule of thumb is when you're
shooting a bride or anyone wearing white... adjust your exposure
comenstion to +1.5 - + 2.0 f/stops and you'll have alot more accurate
flash exposure.
