Already use diffuser. Can't bounce anywhere ahaha cuz was taken at the field. tongue.gif

well if u have other fren wearing white thn bounce off then it works too smile.gif white works better since it won't cost color cast, other color works too but you'll need PP to fix the color cast though. I suggest you read this blog, you'll be surprise how he bounce sometimes.
If you using direct flash as fill, try reducing the flash output to just enough to remove the shadows but won't create harsh light

The metering method defines which information of the scene is used to calculate the exposure value and how it is determined. Metering modes depend on the camera and the brand, but are mostly variations of the following three types:

Matrix or Evaluative Metering
This is probably the most complex metering mode, offering the best exposure in most circumstances. Essentially, the scene is split up into a matrix of metering zones which are evaluated individually. The overall exposure is based on an algorithm specific to that camera, the details of which are closely guarded by the manufacturer. Often they are based on comparing the measurements to the exposure of typical scenes.

Center-weighted Average MeteringProbably the most common metering method implemented in nearly every digital camera and the default for those digital cameras which don't offer metering mode selection. This method averages the exposure of the entire frame but gives extra weight to the center and is ideal for portraits.

Spot (Partial) MeteringSpot metering allows you to meter the subject in the center of the frame (or on some cameras at the selected AF point). Only a small area of the whole frame is metered and the exposure of the rest of the frame is ignored. This type of metering is useful for brightly backlit, macro, and moon shots.
