Product Description
Product Description
This guide to on- and off-camera flash picks up where Understanding Exposure leaves off, helping free photographers from the limitations of 'auto'; to get the images they want when natural light isn't enough. For the many amateur photographers afraid to venture past natural lighting, here is the book that will finally help them explore the exciting possibilities of artificial light. In his trademark easy-to-understand style, Bryan Peterson explains not only how flash works, but how to go beyond 'TTL'; automatic flash exposure to master manual flash, allowing readers to control the quality, shape and direction of light for a perfect exposure, every time.

The book is as good as Bryan's other books, targeted at amateurs who want to learn more and improve. It covers the subject very well, giving information and hints.
It is enlightening in some aspects and gives good explanation on flash photography, features and specifications of electronic flash, as well as how to use flash in manual mode.

Great book. Within 30 minutes I had learned how to use my electronic portable flash. This is something that the Nikon manual patently failed to do. In fact Nikon should read this book and take notes. It isn't that hard to explain clearly how to use a flash. I see that now. But I needed this book to help me. Bryan does a good job of explaining and comes up with some nice special techniques to help you get more out of your flash unit. Clear, well illustrated and enjoyable.

Finally "let there be light" ! Really ! I am also a fan of Peterson's books (I have them all, so a bit positively biased) but this one was too long expected by me. Read more
