Customer Reviews & Comments
This is EXACTLY THE INFORMATION THAT I NEEDED to take me to the next step on my journey as a photographic artist! Having run up against the limitations of ambient light and shooting in locations in less than perfect lighting conditions I wanted to learn about the options that on and off-camera flash provide. I had seen the various lighting equipment in camera stores but didn't have a clue about how to go about learning what to use when. In this book the Deutschmann's walk you through a well illustrated step by step learning process which is easy to understand. They offer practical tips and low cost alternatives that only years of experience can provide. Along the way they remind you to practice the basics of photographic artistry by using your manual camera settings and dialing in the aperture, shutter speed, contrast, and white balance settings to create your vision. They also remind you that practice is essential and that success with any of these techniques cannot come without it. I found this book not only informative but EMPOWERING!
