Also, if you recompose after focusing make sure that you do not change camera to subject distance and don't "mash" down on the shutter button.

When using flash lighting and shooting outdoors, you can adjust the bright background ambient light of the exposure by a negative Exposure Compensation.
Try 2 or 3 stops for a bright background like the one in the first shot.
The flash lighting will illuminate the main subject.

Afternoon river walk, sun on river in background. We were under trees, shady. I know this is a tough time of day.
Nikon D700 with sb600 using fill flash. What can I do to prevent the washout. Settings? Filter? Thanks in advance.

The Captain, is right on these as he always is. It also appears they have already been in the Post Processing mill. About the only thing that can be done on the first one is to change the back ground, that to me would ruin the photo session. The second one is almost in the same boat, and has also been threw the PP process. The folks look like they have cut and pasted in place. Very hard edges. There is also some cloning traces in the back ground near the women's stomach.
The cloning traces are actually the seam in the sidewalk.

Not on the image I saw - those are cloning tracks as the original image has no seams. Actually, there is nothing there at all. I know cloning tracks when I see them as I get them often myself and have to fix the dang things.

This actually is not too bad.

Thanks for your coment. It could be better if I spend more time. But now I know that it is possible to rescue such washed out backgroind. I agree that appropriate background would be much better.

Captain C you need to look at the original once again. Not to be disrespectful but if you look you will see that there is a seam in the sidewalk next to her belly. I thought it was some kind of artifacts too but it is actually the seam in the sidewalk.

Look behind her - those grayish straight lines are from cloning. Not seams. Also those muddy gray areas are from cloning.

Sorry Cliff, were were talking about different photos. You are correct. I thought you were talking about the other photo.

Upfront - I haven't done portrait with HSS so I am ignorant of equipment and techniques. My thought, though, might be to try 3 exposure (or more) then processing with HDR software. Just a thought and I am open to you guys why it would or wouldn't be effective.

Oh...well no wonder we each thought the other had vision issues. :-)
