The brilliant; missing manual that Canon failed to provideBy David MFirst of all; this book is big; it is also comprehensive and whilst up-to-date it does not seem like it will age too much (at least it will be relevant for some time to come). This is going help beginner and intermediate users and should help you make the most out of your flash and lighting techniques. Having said that this book is not weighed down by just focusing on specific lighting techniques; these areas are covered enough to get you going and help you understand what you need to be aware of - there are plenty of other books to cover just lighting configurations and setups.This book does cover pretty much everything Canon; outdoor and indoor lighting and will keep me occupied for months to come.20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Good book; especially for newbie Canon EOS users; but also non usersBy C. L. WillisI waited a LONG time for a book like this. Probably a couple of years or more.I know of the author and he has online information that is also covered in the book. The book has a bit more though. If you are an advanced Canon EOS user and you feel comfortable that you have most Canon flash controls understood; this book is probably not for you. I actually expected more out of it for myself; but now that Ive read the book I did not get much out of it. HOWEVER; this is not to say the book is not very useful for less advanced users. It certainly is well written with examples of just about anything you can think of. It even covers off brand gear that works with Canon EOS system.It covers some really basic elements of photography lighting; as well as touching on deeper Canon EOS workings. This book is for a beginner to somewhat advanced photographer. It covers studio lights to a degree; many types of studio and portable flash modifiers; and radio and optical wireless and wired remote control of Canon EOS flash systems (and non Canon).52 of 54 people found the following review helpful. Waiting a long time for a book like thisBy Stephen KalmanIm an advanced hobbyist photographer. I have Canon bodies and flashes. Ive found lots of general flash resources that have all been somewhat helpful. However; the missing link is a book dedicated to Canon flash devices.The author does an excellent job of examining the Canon system and of explaining the features of the flashes.That said; this isnt a replacement for the manual; it doesnt go over every button press and configuration option. Instead; there are a lot of examples showing how to use the flash and its features to get better pictures. Theres lots of before and after photos to show how a feature changes the resulting image.If youve just bought your first Canon flash; you might feel that this book assumes you have too much knowledge that you dont already have. However; if youve already learned the basics; this book will teach you some techniques that you wont easily find elsewhere; and as it does it will also show you how to set up your flash (and sometimes; Canon camera) to enable them.Ive uploaded a picture to this page that was taken using a technique learned via this book. The link is near the picture of the cover of the book at the top of the page.
