I figured it out thanks guys....not sure if it was just my settings, although I was testing them exactly how you all stated originally,....I tried using half power and full power at the correct setting and now I am getting beautiful shots, so I I still dont get how 1/32 was blowing up highlights and over exposing, its almost as if it was giving me full power and now its back to normal. I did figure it out and I am going to grab a new light meter, so thanks again....
BECAUSE YOU WERE SHOOTING IN av MODE... :mrgreen:
You can be shooting in full manual mode and still have this problem - if your body is still set to AUTO-ISO. One time I had a student who was having a similar issue. Stopping down his aperture to F/8 or even less (which we didn't even want because the backdrop was less than ideal), raising his shutter speed to near max sync of 1/200th, and dialing down the off-camera speedlight (which was firing inside a 60" diffused Softliter) to 1/8th was still resulting in over-exposure. With just a single speedlight as the key light in a large, diffused modifier and with all the other factors, he should have had severe under-exposure . . . .
except: He was positive his body was at a manual ISO of 100, until I double-checked and found it was at an AUTO-ISO of 3200.
