It even inspired me to bring my flash along the other day when I wanted to take some photos of people biking on one of our local bike trails. Turns out it was a good thing because the trail was very shady and where it wasn't dark, it had contrasty dappled light. The photos with the fill flash turned out so well that the editor of a local monthly magazine may be using one or two of them in an issue.” -Fran G.“Charlie, your Outdoor Flash Photography ebook is really great. I bought it off iTunes late last week and read it over the weekend. I don’t take people pictures, so much of what I had read previously about flash dealt with inside buildings or studios. Thinking I was carrying around something I didn’t need – which really meant I didn’t know how to use it – I sold my 580 EX & STE-2 (that I had purchase 7 years ago to use at my daughter’s wedding – didn’t know how to use it then either) and went for a few years without a flash. Then I read your book, which opened up new ideas for me to consider. I placed an order for the Canon 600RT and STE-3 controller. Two things that really stood out right away – one was the image of the flash located behind the trees, shooting toward the individual in an overcast flat light environment. The other was the small clamp you showed that you use (I was not looking forward to carrying an additional tripod, and had not come up with a better way). I did pick up many other tips, but those two, for me were like “wow, I have to do this”. Thanks, Drake

Very well written! I learned a lot about what I thought was a rather technical subject. I highly recommend to anyone who shoots a lot outdoors. The quality of your photos will increase like mine did.

Good book Charlie! Thank you.

If you shoot outside with a flash for any purpose, be it nature to portraits, you'll find this book an invaluable resource and reference. The discussion is easily understood, the examples (both diagrams and photography) easily illustrate the points discussed. If you are a portrait photographer (weddings, family/senior photography), you'll especially appreciate Charlie's insight in remote flash placement. Whether you are a seasoned professional or one just starting out with flash photography, you'll find this book an invaluable aid in developing/fine tuning your outdoor flash photography. (full disclosure, I received gift copy from the author).
