Could Be BetterApril 22, 2007 C. Gomez(England) 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
The best thing about this book is that the author gives full data showing f/stop and shutter speed for each image. However, for quite a few of the author's images this technical data will serve better as an example of how to produce snap shots. I was disappointed to find chapters on portrait posing and composition. There are specialised books that cover these subjects, and frankly they cover them much better. I'd only recommend this book if you are a beginner who is looking to use off-camera flash for the first time. Certainly not a book for advanced or pro photographers.
Brilliant book - essential for Speedlite novicesApril 15, 2007 Neil Partridge(Brighton, England) 22 out of 24 found this review helpful
I've recently bought my first camera and the Canon Speedlite 580 EX to go with it. After hours on the internet I still had no idea how to use the flash. The instruction booklet is accurate, but very brief. Hence I was confused about how to set the flash up and when to use the various functions.
This book is very detailed and has lots of clear photos and instructions on how to use the flash. Furthermore it has real world advice on which features to use for various sorts of pictures.
As far as I know it is the only book of it's kind and essential for anyone using Canon's Speedlites for the first time. Professionals probably wouldn't get much from the book, but then it is aimed at amateurs and enthusiasts.
