help with flash

[jl1975]

Hi everyone,

A local store is having a sale and it looks like I will be getting my first flash (SB600). I know that a certain amount of learning will be through trial and error. However, if anyone knows of some good tutorials or sites where I can read up on using a flash I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

This is one of my favorite site regarding flash photography.

Thank you both. I'll check those out. I guess one of the good parts about getting any new gear is the excuse to do some shooting!

The SB600 is a good speedlight. It has its limitations, but it also has its advantages. If you can procure one for a reasonable cost, it will be to your advantage.
