Automatic flash technology has revolutionized
photography. Originally seen as just a way of
illuminating dark scenes with portable light, flash is
used today for a host of creative functions, including
supplementing daylight and designing complex scenes lit
by multiple light sources. But flash photography is also
a difficult artistic and technical challenge. It's easy
to get that harsh deer-in-the-headlights look from built-
in automatic flash, but using electronic flash to create
striking or natural-looking images is not as
straightforward. Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography
will be the authoritative book on the subject, guiding
the reader through everything from Canon's Speedlite
flash system to off-camera portable flash and
professional studio lighting. It begins with the
fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key
concepts, and documents the various features and
functions available with EOS gear. It will be illustrated
throughout with clear diagrams describing important
functions and lighting arrangements, and with quality
photographs demonstrating sophisticated flash techniques.
Unlike other works on the topic, it will also cover the
burgeoning field of non-dedicated off-camera flash.
