Should be in apererture priority or full manual for the best result :-)

Maybe the outside light could be over exposed just a little. I think it would look a bit more natural.

@j2cool2: Modern flashes use TTL technology, which communicates with the camera. Once the camera determines that the room has been properly lit, it will turn off the flash. There would still be some test shots involved to match ambient and strobe but you don't have to manually meter both.

Zeiss 11-18mm T* Lens? Never heard about it. I think it is rather the Sony 11-18mm (Tamron design...)

This is a very nice tutorial. Thank you Gary!

That's pretty cool. I know how to do it but I was taught in school you had to meter for the window light in order to use flash for the same effect so there would not be too much light inside and not being able to see what's outside (the before shot; kinda). That's not true or its just in certain instances?
