If you are just starting out with Flash photography (as I am) you will want to hop over to Ryans Flash article at Utata to get up to speed.
A flash is simply a way that camera-makers answer the age-old photographer’s problem: “I wish I had more light!” In the old days, photographers had to go to great lengths for this, burning magnesium powder, but now we have electronic flashes that fire quickly, can take into account the amount of light in the scene, and are much less likely to set fire to you.
After initial tinkering with my brand new Canon 580EX I haven’t used it very much which is a shame. This article has inspired me to wipe the dust off and have another go at flashing.
