I got the 'third edition' because I had purchased a EX-RT and was looking for the typical fireld guide material that offers more than the users manual. Here's where my expectations were left less than fulfilled.
It seems that this edition was put together fairly quickly and it was designed to contain just enough new info to justify an 'edition' upgrade. I am an intermediate level amateur photographer who has been using a EX II for about a year. I hadn't ventured much beyond the Speedlight's default flash mode, and bouncing the flash off a wall or ceiling while on-camera.
But when I began exploring off-camera flash use and read about the the problems of using optical slaves with Canon flashes in E-TTL mode and having no real comprehension of why they wouldn't work , I realized I needed a deeper understanding of my strobe's functionality. Despite reading the manual numerous times, I still did not have a complete grasp of things like why use E-TTL vs. This book did a pretty good job of explaining most of these functions. The first 4 chapters addressed most of what I was looking for in a clear, organized, technical way.
My main criticism of the book, ironically, involve the photos included to support the text. For example, in the chapter "Everyday Applications of Your Speedlights," I felt that most of the photos were just ordinary. Other photos in the book were not helpful in clarifying a concept. For example, the explanation of rear curtain would have been much more effective if the author had included 2 examples of the same long exposure shot--one with front curtain and one with rear curtain, so you easily understand the issue. And the chapter "Setting up a Wireless Studio" could have been strengthened by not only including photos of the light modifiers eg, silver umbrella , but also photo examples of the effects eg, should have taken two photos of a scene--one with the flash bounced off a silver umbrella, the other off a white umbrella.
The Appendices on "Posing" and "Rules of Composition" were unnecessary But look elsewhere for you artistic inspiration. See all 30 reviews.
