For this workshop we were learning how to mix flash light and ambient light. Our first task was to use a light metre and take the flash incident reading to determine the aperture and take a picture using the flash. The first image was as F22 with a shutter speed of 1/125. This underexposed the image and turned day into night.
The second image was set to F25 with a shutter speed of 1/125. this only made the image a bit brighter.
For task 2 we had to balance the flash and ambient light. The first image for this task was taken at F8 with a shutter speed of 1/125.
The second image for this task was taken at F8 with a shutter speed of 1/250 which made the image lighter and the subject set apart from the background, the light is overly balanced.
Our third and final task for this workshop was to get creative so we lit with the flash from above and from the side, and also from the side so we could freeze movement in the image. All of the images were taken at F5.6 with a shutter speed of 1/125.

From this workshop I learned that aperture controls the flash lighting and the shutter speed controls the ambient lighting.
