In debt to your help;
I just got a 580EX flash for my canon 20D. I'm a new photographer, not academically trained. I have a creative eye, but I'm in the process of trying desperately to understand light. I feel like this is a stupid question, but how do I know which way to point the flash...up..down..left..right etc.. if I'm shooting portrait type photos. I know you can't say it should be a certain way each time, but is there a rule of thumb or could you suggest a website or book where I can learn some more?
thanks in advance,
julie
