About the ‘Canon Speedlite Intensive’ Workshop

This Canon-specific workshop will move you from being comfortable with simple, on-camera flash to knowing how to set up multi-Speedlite shoots. Along the way, we’ll explore the when and how of using Speedlites in both manual and E-TTL settings. We’ll get our Speedlites off-camera in both corded and wireless situations. We’ll learn how to see the character of light and how to use a wide range of modifiers on our Speedlites â€" including umbrellas, softboxes, grids, snoots and gels. We’ll master Canon’s built-in wireless control and then move beyond with newer technology â€" like RadioPoppers.
