Combining older material which have been polished and streamlined, with lots of new material and trawling the Tangents blog for the best material.<\/p>\n<p>At 35,000 words (the maximum the publisher would allow me), this is a concise introduction to on-camera flash photography, with the accent on demystifying flash. I concentrated on bounce flash photography for the latter half of the book, since I strongly believe that is where the magic lies with using on-camera flash.<\/p>\n<p>One way in which this book has been radically changed from the first edition, is that it is now more of a work-book. There are several examples where you have to have your camera (and flash) in your hands, to step through the instruction. All the better to make sense of flash photography, and become confident in the use of flash photography.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/about\/books\/\">Photography books by Neil vN<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"Title_left\">\n<div id=\"books_left\">\n<div class=\"book1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1608955702\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=planeneilphot-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1608955702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/3-qualityoflight-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"book2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1608958159\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1608958159&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=planeneilphot-20&amp;linkId=3GX5E6XYYZB6RA5G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/4-lighting-design-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"book3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1608952789\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=planeneilphot-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1608952789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/2-offcameraflash-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"Title_right\">\n<div id=\"books_right\">\n<div class=\"book1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/1608952789\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tangents02-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=1608952789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/2-offcameraflash-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"book2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/1608958159\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=1608958159&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=tangents02-21&amp;linkId=TRF5UFF7IJHK6TLY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/4-lighting-design-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"book3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/1608955702\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tangents02-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=1608955702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/books\/NvN\/3-qualityoflight-250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"Title_left\">\n<div id=\"books_left\"><span style=\"color: #aaaaaa;\"><strong>Amazon USA<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"Title_right\">\n<div id=\"books_right\"><span style=\"color: #aaaaaa;\"><strong>Amazon UK<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Photography workshops<\/h2>\n<p>If you need more direct help or instruction on flash photography,<br \/>\nI do present <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/photography-workshops\/\">workshops &amp;
