I recently bought a book I’ve been eagerly awaiting for many months: The Hot Shoe Diaries by Joe McNally. I can say it’s a definite gem in my collection. Joe is no doubt an expert in light, and even though I have good control in post processing, this book made me realize that the knowledge of lightning is essential for every photographer at some point. Well, I kinda already knew that part, but it gave me a new found respect to do things properly instead of taking shortcuts because “I can fix that later in Photoshop”. And once details are lost, there’s no way to get them back.
