5 out of 5 stars Very helpful video   December 16, 2007
I have skimmed a couple of other texts on flash photography and bought a Nikon sponsored DVD 10+ years ago. I think this DVD on the Canon flash units provides one of the best tutorials for the intermediate photographer exploring the more advanced features in sophisticated flash units like 580/430EX. It also addressed my specific interest in the use of multiple flash units utilizing the master/slave settings.

This does exactly what it says, it goes beyond the manual that comes with the flash and helps you to understand more capabilities of this flash.

I found it helpful to a degree, but I wanted it for sports photography, and it didn't address this topic at all. So, if you're using for portrait or anything but sports, this should be very helpful.


3 out of 5 stars Virtually useless for candid, travel, or real-life photography   November 23, 2007

Ditto George's comments. Although the host purports at the beginning of the video that, "Wherever possible, we've kept this presentation simple and geared to the things you're most likely to shoot," I was very disappointed to discover that it concentrates almost exclusively on studio photography, along with a smattering of carefully staged outdoor photography with studio-type equipment. If your focus is studio photography, this dvd will likely prove very helpful. However, if you want to learn how to get the best out of your Speedlite 580EX or 430EX to shoot candids, travel photogrphy, or other real-life situations, do NOT buy this video.


4 out of 5 stars A Great Product for Getting To Know Your Speedlight Flash   November 14, 2007

A well put together Video that explains how to use your 580 EX & 420 EX flash units. So easy to understand - even a caveman could do it.

Well worth the money!
