camera flash resources

[alexkidd]

right i'm reasonably fine with available light (need a bit more practice getting exposure spot on but anyhow...) and studio strobes i've got pretty much covered as far as i can

however i hate using flash but need to get round to it, i've got some gels for balancing and such but does anyone know of any decent books for using flash in particular so it doesn't look like flash but general usage as well

or online tutorials/resources are good also

thanks in advance

alex

This is my prefered point of reference - http://neilvn.com/tangents/flash-photography-techniques/.

Maybe someone will mention Strobist too (OK, I just did ), but I personally find the site poorly organised and way too "blogish" for my tastes.

You could also look on YouTube for a series of videos by SnapFactory - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnn5nzPvoIM

Then there are more YouTube videos by Bert Stephani - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqMI72jsXRQ

Joe Mcnally's Hotshoe Diaries is worth buying, especially for Nikon shooters

I can recommend this book and his other books aswell. Otherwise check out flickr and do a search for 'strobist' groups. that should really help things

I warn you though, it gets addictive!
