Flash Photography Understanding Flash Photography  Understanding Flash Photography: How to Shoot Great Photographs Using Electronic Flash Paperback – August 30, 2011
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.

Flash Photography Techniques Introduction to Flash Photography [Kindle Edition]

This is an amazing ebook for such a low price. It is filled with excellent examples and instructions on how to get good results with electronic flash units of various types. I enjoyed the teardown section in the beginning of the book that displayed how flash capacitors work, plus examples of using flash to photograph things like breaking a lightbulb with a hammer or capturing an exploding balloon.

Once past the initial hardware discussion, there are several chapters with excellent sample photos having full explanations of how the result was achieved. Downs discusses many flash-related techniques and methods, such as: flash exposure, metering modes, flash modifiers, ambient light balancing, manual flash, wireless flash, various lighting techniques, many humorous anecdotes, and even some explosions.

This hands-on book would be a value at five times the price. Downs writing style is easy and fun to read and will help you get better results with your flash, on and off camera. I recommend this book for those who want to learn to control their flash units more effectively.
