Steve TVD said Great book with solid, easy to understand information. If you've been to Strobist.com you know that the one thing missing there is diagrams to visually explain the lighting setups. If you've not been to Strobist.com. well go there now AND buy this book as it provides all the visual explanations you're likely to need.First off, the book gives great written information about what you will need and has solid suggestions
