Close down your aperture to about a 5.6, don’t take your shutter speed lower than 1/125 because it will cause blur, increase your ISO to 200 and see if you can bring enough light in to get a great shot. This is assuming you are shooting in shade or at dusk or both. These settings are suggestions to get you to understand what I am saying, so play around with different combination’s to find out what works best.

Power, expressed in Guide Number (GN), is a measure of how much light the flash will produce. GN is a non-standard unit of measure. It basically tells you how far away a subject can be from the source of the flash, where the flash is the primary light source, and the subject to still be properly lit. The problem with this is that the distance can be expressed in either feet or meters. There is often no way of knowing which it is. GN also assumes ISO100 and f1.0 so adjustments will have to be made in the calculations to account for real-world conditions. For instance, f1.0 lenses are very rare and extremely expensive.
