Make your Speedlights 100% Reliable for Flash Photography

It’s Thursday again so I’d like to share with you a little treasure that I discovered this week. If you are using Speedlights then you wil want to know how to use them 100% reliable.  And I found a little eBook that masterfully answeres exactly that need. As good as this is for you, for me that’s a tradgedy,

because the book covers a lot of the stuff that actually I wanted to cover in my next eBook. But my revenge knows no mercy: I spoil the authors secrets and go through his book in the video below. Make sure you watch it:

Click here and in order to get Ed's eBook

Get 100% Reliable Flash Photography

And here are my bonuses:
1.
If you tell me your biggest takeaway from 100% Reliable Flash Photography, then I will try to dive into the very same topic in my upcoming eBook on Speedlight Photography. I will send you a copy of my book as soon as I got the first really good draft.

2.
If you tell me what topic is missing in 100% Reliable Flash Photography or which topic you would like to see covered more in depth, then I will give you access to my eBook Beijing Blueprints and all it’s download material such as checklists, model contracts and the like.

To get one  or both bonusses just buy 100% Reliable Flash Photography via my afilliate links above or  here, forward me a copy of your email sales reciept and answer one or both questions above.

Good deal? Wonderful! I hope with your input I can draft an eBook that is at least as good as Ed Verosky's... tough time ahead of me.
 

See you next Thursday and until then
I wish you good light!

Like your blog......I came across it while I was looking up info for my Phottix Atlas triggers. You had a video posted demonstrating the triggers. On your blog I found a link to 100% Reliable Flash Photography and immediately downloaded it......It looks great so far........Remember, keep shooting and have some fun!

Hi David!
Thank you so much! I had a look at your blog and I really like that one too. A lot of valuable tips and links!

I wish you good light!

Hi Michael I have read the book of Ed. I must say it's a very good one and it has teached me allot about lighting setup's.
here are my remarks about your questions:
1. the INDOOR & OUTDOOR LIGHTING techniques. it's very handy to see how to position your speedlights at what distance to place them and on what power to set your flash. I don't see how you could describe this better, maybe you could include a one page card you can carry with you, that covers all the setups. (like an index).
2.the topic I missed the most is a topic about the equipment you can use. As for me (I just started with flash photography and I still need to buy equipment) it's not so easy to find what equipment is best for a starter, there are so many things they sell, and I would like to know what’s best to start with( please refer to a website like he did but one that is accessible! the zebra site is one big mess)
For example: when i bought my first speedlight I also bought this set of accessory's http://www.viewfinderphotography.co.uk/product_view.php?prod_id=477 , I don't know it what case I should use wha, so it would be handy to see when to use a dish, when a dome or other stuff. Or tell me if I actually need all that?

I hope my review is helpful to you for your upcoming book.

goodluck with it!

Hi Kris!
That's awesome feedback! Thank you so much! Seems like neither this ebook nor the Marc Wallace videos that you mentioned on Facebook address this type of question.

I'll try to shoot a quick little video to answer this as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I'll send you the download link for my last ebook.

I wish you good light!

Hi Michael

I'm happy the feedback was useful. if you need additional feedback on something you wrote (if it's understandable for a newbie) feel free to ask.

have a great day,
greetings
Kris

Fantastic review and I'm looking forward to reading it and seeing what new I can learn and what I've found missing from other books I've read. Thanks for the sweet incentive and all of your other AMAZINGLY fantastic tutorial videos and reviews. Much appreciated, both for the education and the entertainment/humor. =)

Also, please check the URL for this page... when I enter "http://smokingstrobes.com/reliableflashphotography" I get redirected to "http://smokingstrobes.com/reliableflashphotography " with as space on the end, which translates into "http://smokingstrobes.com/reliableflashphotography%20" when I try to bookmark it.

Thanks a ton, Brian. The space is something that I accidentally typed into the path of the page. I removed it now. Thanks a lot for making me aware of it.

Where should we send you the receipt?

Sorry for my late response! Send it to michael@zelbel.com. Thanks a lot!

Is this still going on?

Yes
