Training DVD video for the Canon Speedlite 580EX / 430EX

New owners of Canon Speedlites are often bewildered about how to use the flash unit effectively to produce the type of shots they want. Although the supplied manual does provide some technical assistance, Speedlites have been, and remain a mystery for many owners. This DVD sets out to change all that.

With a running time of just over an hour, your host, professional photographer Tim Mantoani, takes the mystery out of these flash units and shows you how to use them to their best advantage. Whether you own one or several of these speedlites, Tim walks you through real world situations that can be made better with repeatable techniques. He not only tells you HOW the flash operates, but WHY the engineers designed the flashes with their current set of features.

The new EX series of speedlites from Canon can be the most powerful accessory in your camera bag. Understanding how the controls work is important and this DVD takes you through their operation, step by step. Your host, professional photographer Tim Mantoani, demonstrates these flash units in a series of real world examples. He explains why and how to get an emotional response from your pictures by adding or subtracting light.

This DVD keeps extra equipment needs to a minimum. Whether you own a 580EX, 430EX, or both, this presentation gives you a practical approach for approaching all photographic subjects that require a little portable sunlight. Whether you use one speedlite or a hundred, Tim's approach will help you create the best photo possible.
