In this updated, second edition of the authoritative, bestselling Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography, photographer NK Guy brings the book fully up to date, with coverage of all the newest Canon gear that has hit the market since the first edition published in 2010. This includes coverage of the radio-enabled Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT, as well as the other Speedlites that have released since the first edition’s publication: Canon Speedlite 90EX, 270EX II, 320EX, and 600EX. And this is the first book to cover Canon's new, affordable master unit—the Speedlite 430EX III-RT flash! Digital cameras and flash technology have truly revolutionized photography in the 21st century. Originally seen simply as a practical way to illuminate dark scenes with portable light, flash today is used for a host of creative and nuanced applications, including supplementing daylight, designing complex scenes lit by multiple light sources, and simply creating beautiful, controllable light for portraiture. With LCD screens on DSLRs, the ability to get instant feedback on lighting setups is a great help in advancing one’s lighting capabilities and encouraging experimentation. However, flash photography can still be a difficult artistic and technical challenge. It’s simple to get that harsh deer-in-the-headlights look from built-in automatic flash, but it is a far cry from beautiful light. Creating natural-looking images is not nearly as straightforward. Mastering the properties of light and the ability to manipulate, craft, and direct it is a lifelong endeavor. Those diving into Speedlights need some help. Manuals are terse and the terminology is confusing—this is where Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography comes in. This is the complete book on the subject, guiding you through Canon’s Speedlite system, from off-camera portable flash to professional studio lighting. It covers the fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key lighting concepts, and documents a wide range of Canon and third-party equipment. Universal flash accessories, studio gear, and radio triggers are all thoroughly covered. The book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams that demonstrate important functions and lighting arrangements, and inspiring photos that show sophisticated flash techniques. Though tailored for users of Canon EOS cameras, owners of other camera systems will find much valuable information as well. So, whether you’re just getting started with flash, or you’ve picked up the bug for off-camera lighting from such popular websites as Strobist.com, or you’re making the leap into advanced studio work, Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography is your in-depth resource. Includes a foreword by David Hobby, noted photojournalist and founder of Strobist.com.

This book is presented as a reference book for all those who use or will use the EOS blockchain, similar to what was done by the famous Mastering Bitcoin which has become over time the reference book for all those who work with the Bitcoin blockchain, moreover whereas there is currently no book on it both at European and international level, especially American, to consider also the origin and the profuse commitment of the author, in making a book suitable both for those who are not practical and are not accustomed to this world, taking it by the hand from the creation of the account to the management of the wallet, and also suitable for a developer from the bitter to the most experienced, showing all the passages related to the reference code that was inserted just to have an approach too more intimate with the same.The book covers almost all aspects of the EOS blockchain, starting right from its history and giving interesting and detailed information on how the project has evolved since its creation, giving an overview of the events that took place a few years earlier. Then move on to a first smattering fast and practical on how to create first and then use the EOS account real engine for all the various dApp from the simplest to the most complex ones, where without this information, nobody would be able to start operating under that profile, where with a clear presentation and with the relative images, step by step, show the various basic steps to perform the related procedures. Next we analyze the various aspects that distinguish this blockchain with respect to the others and how it is one of those that could cause a change important in this sector since it is constantly evolving, introducing previously unimaginable functions and goals from that point of view, also in this case looking for a first approach for inexperienced users and then for each topic to follow the example of the relevant code. In the second half of the book we move on to analyze everything at a professional level where the insiders, especially developers, or those who want to learn more, have all the tools they need in a single tool, in Italian, to be able to start operating and experimenting with this blockchain and provide them with the necessary and essential first level to eventually, eventually, progress in greater depth, given that currently the users of this blockchain exceed 70 thousand daily users. Finally the book concludes with an objective view of the various criticisms made of the relative blockchain, all more or less valid, showing how space is also left to the criticality that the same involves using them, significant criticalities but solvable in the long term and where also the author is helping to improve with his commitment and constant effort, leaving room for the reader for a personal evaluation of everything and to criticize constructively and objectively, as in this case, the creaking points of an extraordinary project.Table of Content -> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VlkE5oeSSVn0pi4SiYlA09lsl-1yBIl9msuH1owWBsE/edit?usp=sharing
