Hi Everyone,

Brand new to photography and still have a ton to learn about the general camera use, but I was just given a 430Ex II Speedlight flash and was wondering if anyone knew of a good site or resource I can use to learn how to use this better.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

myself i use the 580II and have to say, you need to get a diffuser on it... For wedding or sports i find its a major advantage to have.

But i look at photography on the net for help.\

Shoot it at the ceiling is usually the thing that is the easiest way to get good shots. and shoot in ETTL

And after you get a diffuser, get an off-camera shoe cord.
