Hi!

I want to improve my flash technique and therefore I'm looking for a book about flash photography. any recommendations?

If possible a newer one, because I'm using new equimpent and dont want (and can) use old flash units. I'm using 10D and 420EX.

thanks
best regards
Peter

I know that this really doesn't answer the book question, but this is an excellent resource for working with Canon's E-TTL flash:

Give it a read while waiting for Amazon to deliver the book that someone will hopefully recommend. ;)
