Glad we did our outdoors shoot yesterday because it rained most of today here in Atlanta. You hit the jackpot with a very informative and great instructional on flash. For me it’s the first step on the journey to lightpainting in the style of Dave Black. By all means make Atlanta a regular tour stop!!!

Thanks so much for the class. I learned so much!!! I told my buddies that there was probably no way that you could deliver on teaching us all that you advertised that you would. I even remember saying that if I learned half of it, that it would be worth the time and money. But you taught us all of it. You are a great teacher and I’m so glad that I found out about the class. I had a great time practicing what we learned with the models.

In short - I really loved the class, had a great time and learned alot.

Thank you so much,
Mary Hickman

Hi there Peter …

The Canon 580EX II under-exposes a lot when used in Auto mode. (In limited experience of using it.)

My main problem though with using the 580EX II in Auto mode, is that you have to go through the menu .. and the 580EX menu is very sparse with info. You’d have to write down somewhere (or memorise) the sequence of values you need to change (and back), when you move from TTL to Auto. It’s a pain.

I triggered the flash with a Pocket-Wizard. This way I don’t need line-of-sight like I would with wireless TTL.

The listing of equipment that I used can be found here:
