I love natural light, and even as a newbie I see myself shooting 95% of the time outdoors in the sun or indoors by a window.lol But for the other 5% I have a 430EX II that I'd like to understand.

Any book recommendations out there, something that helped you understand flash photography a bit more? I looked thru the forums but I'd much prefer a book I can take anywhere with me. If it helps, I'm into candid photography, I enjoy fashion and wedding photography as well. Perhaps that'll help narrow the search down.

Thanks for any and all recommendations.

Youtube has many great tutorials on flash photography. I learn best by watching rather than reading though.
