Not sure if this is the right section, but can anybody recommend some good books to learn about flash, starting with the basics, I have just purchased a 580exII and would like to learn at least some of the basics.

Many thanks

Syl Arena's Speedliters handbook. Strobist.com and start here http://neilvn.com/tang​ents/ (external link) Lots of knowledge on the web. Light: science and magic is another good book.

The Speedliters Handbook is one of the best books that I have read on flash, but it is fairly integrated with the Canon optical wireless system. That said, I would also suggest a couple of video series:

The OneLight Workshop (external link) by Zack Arias

The Strobist Lighting Seminar (external link) by David Hobby

Also, while I was searching for the latter, I came across a couple other recommendations from David Hobby here: http://strobist.blogsp​ot.com …4/strobist-bookshelf.html (external link)


I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine
