This book goes well beyond using a Speedlite flash. A very comprehensive book for understanding photography principles + the use of flash lighting in photography. Jam packed with comparison photo's. All the information is very well presented in an organized and easy to follow format. I can't believe all this for less than $5 through eBay. If you find for a similar price, or even twice that price... buy it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. The best book on photography I have ever purchased!

I wish this book had been around decades ago when I was flailing and failing to figure out how to use a flash with my 35mm film cameras. This book provides a superb breakdown of lighting concepts and technique to achieve results with off-camera flash (speedlites). The writing is concise, and user-friendly. The supporting illustrations and photos are very effective. You do not need to be an engineer or a tech-head to understand the ideas presented. (not preached) Appropriate for almost anyone with a keen interest in developing OCF skillz. It might be a bit much for stone-cold beginners, but only just. At one level, you can easily skim the basics, then if you wish to get into it on a deeper level, copious sidebar-type info will allow you to go there. Very thorough, but it's not like forced-labor plowing through a textbook. Syl Arena is a great writer of how-to texts. I liked it enough to I buy a few copies for friends. Don't hesitate to add this to your list. Read full review
