This model’s speciality must be swimsuits rather than hands if she’s willing to offer up her finger to a passing seagull like that.
The reason this shot looks so ‘electric’ is because Elaine Constantine has used flash in daylight or ‘fill flash’. Here, it’s made the foreground subject stand out and given the shot amazing energy.
To force your flash to fire find the button or menu icons marked by and scroll through the options.
If you’re shooting a backlit scene or just want to make your subject stand out even though it’s not necessarily dark, fill flash will do the job. But fill flash is an artificial light source so it won’t give your image a natural look.
On a side note, when a flash fires it throws light on a subject that comes and goes in an instant. This causes any movement within the reach of the flash to be frozen. So what we’re looking at here is the result of the flash, rather than a very fast shutter speed.
