If I understand you correctly, you want more light on the bg!. You will either have to fire slaves or use a technique called dragging the shutter to capture more ambient light!. Shoot on manual and set the shutter speed to underexpose the bg by about 2 stops!. That should get you enough ambient to avoid the dark cave look!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

use a flash on slave, and have it behind the subject to backlight it!.

If you want to fill flash behind the subject you really need a slave flash that you can mount on a tripod behind them that will fire when your main flash fires!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Bounce flash off the ceiling is best done at a 45 degree angle!. This will allow more of the light from your flash to fill in the background!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try setting your flash exposure compensation a bit higher!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
