I recently spent an hour with Kerry Garrison, host of the Camera Dojo podcast, talking about my collection of micro-essays ‘Lessons I Didn’t Learn In Photo School‘ and about my thoughts on Speedliting.
After comparing our favorite LIDLIPS, Kerry and I then moved on to discuss a variety of my thoughts on:
• learning to light (“watch movies with a critical eye”)
• starting with off-camera flash (“buy a 24′ E-TTL cord from FlashZebra”) and
• how you can use high-speed sync to dim the sun (“it changes the way your Speedlite fires”).
Of course, there is much more to know than those quick phrases.
You can listen to the podcast directly on Camera Dojo or download it from the iTunes store. You will find links to both here on Camera Dojo.
