Hi Guys,

So the Nissin Di622(II) is coming tomorrow, anyone got any tips?

First time i've used flash that isn't built in:baby:

Any suggestions for a good book on flash? Youtube seems to have some OK stuff (?)

Cheers

Get it off the camera and take a while to read http://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/2006/03/lighting-101.html

Book wise, you might like Joe McNally's Hot Shoe Diaries - he's pretty Nikon heavy http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Hot-Shoe-Diaries-Applications/dp/0321580141 and teaches you to use iTTL creatively, covering everything from one light to a couple to 40-odd

Cheers Steven, just the sort of thing i'm looking for. Thanks

Neil vN and the tangents blog is great for learning about flash. The BFT works amazingly well for £2 or less. Lots of good reading and it has completely changed the way I look at flash. He just makes it so simple to understand.

Bought 'the hot shoe diaries' so we'll see how we do over the next few weeks/months/years
Was looking at the Nikon CLS book as well that looks pretty good.....
