A senior session with a D-1 track athlete. Had to shoot at 1/1 power on some of these because it was so bright outside.

Amen. Setting up camera for optimal image quality makes editing so much easier.
Editing is a job in itself though. Still learning how to do that better every day

Any more tips on shooting when it’s bright outside?
I can never get it right when shooting people
yeah, some of these shots were pushing the limits on the camera and flash. like 1/8000s, lowest ISO, flash at 1/1 power. I'm sure a more powerful strobe would work fine though. Also, you might look into ND filters to cut down the brightness a few stops.

Im trying out here,
I been going around Qatar trying to capture some of these nice as buildings. But alot of the time its always cloudy or really dusty so the sky always comes out to bright and with no color. How to I add some color to the sky?

When I have the sky blown out like that I do my best adjusting the aperture and iso first to get it as close as possible to what I want in camera.
I've been using a polarizer on my lens these last few weeks and love it. Definitely helps me get what I'm going for easier when I'm shooting in bright conditions like that.
In light room, you can definitely bring some life to your shots of the sky by adjusting the highlights and the whites.
Are you just throwing your camera on auto and letting it rock?
I gotta try to remember to put up some pictures of the realty shoots I've been doing.
The before and after differences are pretty significant depending on how bright it was that particular day.

I would suggest increasing shutter speed to control ambient light first and foremost. After that, I change the ISO and aperture accordingly.
