I’m happy to announce that my book on flash photography techniques for on-camera speedlights is now available. The book is based on the articles published on this website, but the material has been fleshed out into a cohesive and thorough approach to getting the best from your on-camera speedlight. Particular care was taken to present it all with a logical flow with the intention that it will all progressively help the reader attain a better understanding of flash photography. |

Corrections:
I would like to correct a few errors in my book on flash photography.
( t seems no matter how many times work is cross-checked, mistakes do slip by.)
On p.107 – plate 14-14 .. the camera settings are incorrectly given. (They are correct in the actual text on p. 106). The correct description for plate 14-14 (p.107) should read:
Adjusting my camera settings, I dropped the ambient light and left the couple illuminated mostly by flash. Settings: 1/250th @ f2 @ 320 ISO
The image on p.71 (plate 10-13) has a slight error. It says that I bounced the flash to my right .. but as should be clear from the photograph, I did indeed bounce the flash to my left. (I have a life-long tendency to confuse left and right when I give directions or descriptions, and it unfortuntely creeped in there as a typo with that image.)
Neil…Big fan of your site, wish I had time to keep mine up. Love your book though. I actually was waiting for it to come out and was pleasantly surprised. Never thought of metering with the histogram for flash, nice tip. Keep up the good work.

Hi Neil,
I am a big fan of your web site in which I find lots of intersting tips and technics that help me a lot in my work. Before finding your tangents I barely used flash.
I don(t know if there’s many of your book in France but I have one and I love it.

Neil,
The simplest way to get all those social bookmarking links in is to use something like AddThis. (free service)
http://www.addthis.com/
It generates some HTML/Javascript that can be inserted into a website, WordPress, Blogger, or MySpace. It carries all the major social bookmarking websites, including a few you might not have heard about. A lot of commercial websites are using this service, so AddThis is an accepted technology.
Your web designer should look into AddThis. It will be easier than setting up the links/buttons manually.
(I’m not affiliated with AddThis, but we do use it at my workplace to support our websites.)

Hi Neil
I’ve been following your site for sometime now and throughout I’ve had a suspicion that you have a South African connection. Seeing the Madiba photographs added to my suspicion, which has finally been confirmed by the Bio in your book. I’m interested in buying your book preferable one with an autographed. Could you please tell me if there is a way for the book to be sent to Pretoria and how much it would cost.

Got your book from Amazon and just finished reading it last night. A veritable treasury of knowledge about flash photography. As I read the book, I could visualize photos I had taken over the years and knew now how I could improved them.
I will have to read it again to absorb the lessons until I do all this without thinking. Thank you.

Neil–I was referred to your Web site as an excellent resource for understanding and effectively using TTL metering techniques with ambient light. The site’s show-and-tell teaching style is very practical and straightforward, with immediately actionable tips and techniques based in practice, not just theory. After working through the TTL pages only, I ordered your book. Thanks for publishing great content online and, better, thanks for bundling it up into a purchasable volume. Cheers! Will

Glad to hear about the new book in progress – I’ll watch out for it next year.
Your book talks about flash synch speed and my D300 has an option for 1/320 (auto FP) but when I set this and have the shutter at 1/320 (manual mode) I get reduced power from the 1/250 shutter speed. I’m using an sb-900. I have had to set the d300 to 1/250 (auto FP) and this works fine at 1/250 shutter speed. Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers

These are not clear .

Yeh I downloaded it from Amazon last night and shame about the photo’s being poor, I guess the kindle thing is poor resolution? I use a app on mac to view the book just wish I bought the book now. That said it is so far a fantastic read and easy to follow. I have bin following this site for a few months now and is up there with my fav sites too follow.

I lurk on your blog regularly and learn as much as I can, or reaffirm things I’m doing with lighting. I bought the book, if you read blogs like this you should support the content creators in what ever way make scenes. Good luck with the book.
Comment by Brian — April 22, 2010 @ 4:35 pm

At first I thought the book was simply a collection of your blogs, as many of the images and lessons in the book have appeared on this site. However, it is much more than that. As a pro, I am not in the habit of spending my hard-earned cash (very hard-earned in some cases) on yet another how-to manual, so it needed to be special to get me to buy. It needed to be even more special for me to actually start using the techniques. It worked on both levels.
So, even though you struggle to tell left from right, congratulations on a spectacular success….

Hi Neil,
Greetings from downunder(Adelaide)!! Found your book really, really useful. I am astonished by the quality of light you get using on-camera flash bounce appropriately. I am also very happy that you share your personal experience and settings with your public through the website and your book. There is a lot for me to internalise and practice from reading your book, but I am very keen to begin practising your techniques because it will eventually free me up from carrying too much gear on location shoots; indoor or out.
Thanks once again for an engrossing read, and I look forward to your upcoming book on off-camera flash. Any firm timelines yet for publicaton???

I got a copy of your flash photography book about a week ago and have kept reading it again and again since then. It does help me understand more and more about using ceiling bounced flash light effecively and controlling it as I want, and I am sure that it adds more spice on my wedding work.

Hello Neil
I got your book few months ago and iam reffering it almost everyday. well on page 38 i saw following
1) When the scene/Subject is light in tone,you will increse the Exposure
2) when the scene/Subject is dark in tone you will decrease the exposure
and its stated under the section of Flash exposure compensation. my question is are you talking about the FEC or Total Exposure compensation on Camera body? if i understood it correctly its about FEC .is the Darker objuct less Exposure compensation & Lighter objuct more exposure compensation rule is applicable for FEC too?
and on Page 39 on the Table # 4 Wheather the Subject is offcenter or centered in the frame… How does the TTL/BL flash effect the subject if its centered or offcentered?
Thanks

Thanks …so the Bottom line is the FEC on Flash itself need to bump up 2-3 stops if the Subjuct is lighter in tone and – 2 to3 stops if the Subjuct is darker in tone. and of couse i know this is applicable for Exposure compensation on camera body also am i correct?
Thanks

I have a question about your settings when combining ambient light.
In your shot on page 71. The wedding couple at the table in front of a large window.(photo plate 10.13) Your settings are 1/60 f4 iso 1250 and +2.3 on Flash. The ambient light appears to be f16 1/125 ISO 100.
Because I am having trouble conceiving how bright ambient light wont blow out at such a setting I tried it. i am not having much luck in getting detail. Its blown out. Is there something I am missing? Does the increase in Flash Exp have something to do with it? I can’t seem to get past this?
Thank you for putting together such a wonderful array of learning material for us to learn from. Its greatly appreciated.

Hi Neil,
Actually I did know the shutter was 1/160. That was my typo.
Explaining that it was overcast outside does help.
Still having a little trouble with the high ISO but I will keep practicing.

Hi Neil,
I recently bought your book here in Bangkok where I am living since May 1997.
The book interested me in the shop as I read that you are (obviously) from the RSA, graduated in engineering and worked in television broadcasting.
Photography has been a hobby of mine since I received my first 35mm SLR as a gift back in 1984. I have been doing digital since 2000.
While reading your book the penny finally dropped – the number of clicks on each wheel of my Sony A700 (and KMD7) and how they inter-relate now finally makes sense. And I do understand now (for the first time) why the shutter speed can be used to bring out the background without affecting the flash exposure.
As an engineer I find this book brilliant. From your book I learned practical things which none of the previous 20 books on photography could get across.
I have now moved my camera off A and onto M. I have pre-loaded initial settings for outdoor photography into M1, indoor settings into M2 and studio work into M3 and assigned the C-button on my A700 for flash compensation. (The KMD7 has a separate dial for flash compensation.)
Thank you for a most useful practical book with quality photographs to support the text.
Best regards
Bo

Your book is part of my permanent photography library and I will be among the first to get your next book. The only negative is the title. You should have cut the title off after the word “Techniques”. I was hesitant at first to get the book because I thought that the portrait/wedding context was too specific for my needs. Of course after taking a chance and reading it I found it dealt with the basics which is exactly what I wanted.

Comment by Victor — February 22, 2011 @ 12:06 pm

One sugestion to your excelent book. I think is necesary add some technical back up, like for intance when the flash shoot, it take only 1/1000 seconds in close, but the shutter curtains is still open and ambient light is incoming for a time. This time is controled for the velocity of the camera.
I am engineer and I need this type of explanation, because is more easy understand what you say.

I found your blog and I can’t seem to get off of it. I’m just a pure amateur taking family and trip photos with my T2i and NISSIN di866 flash gun.

I just bought your book “On Camera Flash – Techniques for Digital Wedding and Portrait Photography” and love it. I bought it in the Kindle form and can’t tell you how many highlights I have made in it.
I have read other books on flash photography and it’s really interesting to see how different photographers approach the same issue in different ways.
One question I had was…what is the furthest distance from a wall or ceiling that you would attempt to bounce your flash from? Say using an SB-900.

availability of my flash photography books
I’ve had several people tell me that my books aren’t available on Amazon’s Kindle anymore. So I double-checked with the publisher, Amherst Media, and received news that while my books aren’t available as a Kindle publication, they are available in a number of other electronic formats.
We’re not on Kindle for now. We are on iPad, Nook, Kobo, Google Books and dozens of Android tablets and PCs through protected Pdf and ePub files.
IPG, our distributor into bookstores and Amazon, is having a pricing issue with Amazon. Amazon is demanding that Kindle books sell for next to nothing, basically cutting out profits for authors and publishers. Amazon, as a threat, has pulled over four thousand books from Kindle including ours. IPG is working on it to establish fair terms and has the support of the publishing industry.
Another issue is that the Kindle book quality is very poor. We encourage our readers to buy their eBooks from Apple or from Amherst Media direct. In fact, we are now having an eBook sale on our site. Our eBook quality is the best, books are in full color with page design features and page numbers.
So that’s where we are at the moment.
Also, if you’d like to order an autographed copy of my book directly from me … that’s an option too!

Hi Niel,
I read both your flash books and they are a great resource; different than everything else I have read so far.
I have a question regarding the use of the “black foaming thing” setup. How do you determine the flash head’s zoom setting When using the “black foaming thing?” do you let the camera tell the flash head to automatically zoom with the change in focal length or do you set the flash head manually at one setting?
Thanks.
