Despite this hiccup in numbering the images, the images themselves and descriptions should be clear enough that this would not have been misunderstood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On page 66, the first paragraph starts with &#8220;By angling the softbox away to a fair extent (images 7-8 and 7-8).&#8221; That second &#8220;7-8&#8221; should be &#8220;7-9&#8221; instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On the same page, the second paragraph starts with &#8220;In the second example (images 7-10 to 7-14)&#8230;&#8221; The images should be 7-10 to 7-13.<br \/>\nImage 7-14 is on page 68 and covers a different topic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Image 10-10 (page 101) .. was shot with flash, and not just ambient light.<br \/>\nThe settings were: 1\/125 @ f3.5 @ 800 ISO &#8230; TTL flash<br \/>\nThis means that the details for image 10-11 are also wrong.<br \/>\nThe EXIF data here is: 1\/40th @ f2.8 @ 1600 ISO<br \/>\nSo the text of the two images were swapped around, and 10-10 isn&#8217;t available light only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\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;
