Canon® Speedlite System Digital Field Guide, 2nd Edition

Appendix C. Resources

At no other time has there been more information available on the Internet for both the creative and business aspects of photography. However, with the vast amount of knowledge found on the Web, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to begin or even where to look. You'll find contradictory information on every topic, from alchemy to Zen meditation, about "the right way" to do a certain thing. My approach is to look for experts on the topic, and once I find someone who makes sense to me, I take their advice and use it. If it works for me, then that becomes my method of working. Similarly, you should find what works best for you.

While this is not an exhaustive list, I offer a selection of my favorite resources to help you learn more about the Canon Speedlite System, photographic lighting, the business of photography, and photography in general.
