Here is a series that shows a frequent issue i run into.

Ideally i wanted the area above the waterfall bright enough to see

The more you want to alter a scene, the more you have to hone your technique. 

Note: Your request is actually a perfect example where improved dynamic range might help you out!

If you can't lighten the area enough in Post (without destroying the IQ), then what I would do is shoot 2 different exposures and then combine using software.

And instead of changing the Aperture (which affects both the flash power and the background exposure), I would instead adjust the Shutter Speed  (affects just the background exposure) to get you the second image.

I do highly recommend shooting in full Manual mode (and I even shoot with full Manual flash power) for greatest control.
