Customer Reviews
The only OCF book you'll ever need
This really is the only off-camera flash book you'll ever need. Absolutely everything is covered in this book and yet it remains accessible enough throughout for the novice yet in depth enough for the pro; a skill that Syl should be congratulated for. Technique, gear, physical attributes of light, examples and explanations are all here. If you are interested in getting your flash away from the hotshoe, this book is essential. I must have read it 10 times, and still use it to help with tricky lighting setups.
