Understanding the Canon Speedlite 580EX II / 430EX II Training DVD
If you’re hesitating to buy this DVD because you’re wondering whether it would be worth it, since obviously the manual covers the basic features, don’t hesitate at all. This is a terrific DVD for the inexperienced stobist using Canon EX flashes as well as someone who only occasionally uses them.
What this DVD gives you is as close to “over the shoulder” instruction by someone who knows the Canon flash system inside and out. It provides a step-by-step intro to the Speedlite system, shows you how to set the various features on the 580EX-II and 430EX-II and leads you through clear and concise examples of planning a shoot and how best utilitize both ambient and flash lighting to obtain the best possible images.
It’s not as comprehensive as a complete lighting course but it is very thorough when it comes to the Canon system and the thought process behind various choices in a series of staged lighting situations.
It is worth every penny of the $25 that I paid for it and I’ll use it again and again.
Rating: 5 / 5
It`s a perfect DVD, for those who want to understand better light in photography. I would recomend to anyone.
