Can anyone recommend a good book devoted to flash photography?



Nothing too complex. I'm new to DSLR, but am going to get a separate flash (Canon Speedlite 430 EX II) and want to learn the basics.




Thanks in advance.

Im currently reading Zach Arias' OneLight mini-book.  Pretty good stuff on shooting with a single off-camera flash.  Cant find on his website today where you can buy it but I think he got hacked today so Ill look again in the morning.

If you have not invested in the flash yet, pony up a few more bucks and get the big boy, the 580 EXII.  More light when you need it to fill a room. It's really worth the extra coin once you become a strob user!

I browsed through "The hotshoe diaries" at B&N and thought it looked like an excellent book. If I had the $45 to blow on it I might have...

The Hotshoe Diaries is a must read. Joe shoots Nikon, but the creative idea is the same for all brands.
