First flash - now what?

[bobiscuit]

I've got my first proper flash - Sony HVL-F56AM.

So far I've been bouncing it, and used wireless TTL to light up some extreme macro shots (12:1 macro on a steady table!)

Can anyone recommend a good "project" to get to grips with some of the more advanced features? :wobble:

Oooh nice... Where did you get it from, im possibly looking to getting the HVL-F56AM at the right price.

http://www.argos.co.uk have it in the "Clearance" bit of their photography section for £177.

But very little stock left. You'd be lucky to get one in a branch near you.

I saw the argos link but no stock anywhere near me or in the whole of the midlands... Is there anymore near you?

There's only 1 left in any Scottish branches as far as I can tell - in Leven.
