New Book from Joe McNally - Hot Shoe Diaries

Flash and Lighting expert Joe McNally has a new book out called

The Hot Shoe Diaries - Big Light From Small Flashes

Joe uses Nikon equipment but he says the book should appeal to anyone who uses flash photography. Here's a quote from Joe's website:

The book is Nikon-centric, obviously, cause that’s the system I use, and to the extent I talk over buttons and dials and where they are and what they do, they are Nikon buttons and dials. But the much larger part of the book is devoted to using light, in this case, light that comes from hot shoe flashes. I try to show progression and the tools that are used, and how to use small flash in an intuitive way.
