As one of those few crazy folks who still loves to learn from a book, I’ve got a recommendation for anyone who is eager to get more out of their flash photography technique. They say if you are going to learn something, why not learn from the best? Joe McNally is one of the world’s most accomplished photographers, and he’s back with another gem of a book entitled: The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes

When it comes to photography, it’s all about the light. In this book, Joe candidly shares his real-world techniques of how he lights his shoots and subjects using only small hot shoe flashes. From urban landscapes, to nature photography, to portrait shooting (indoor and out), this book is the new bible for mastering flash photography.

As with all our book recommendations, Amazon visitors will save vastly off the cover price of $39.99 and be able to purchase this book for only $26.39 (also eligable for free super saver shipping!). The educational and practical value is well worth it, making The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes our book of the month.
