One of Us

You did it. You looked your deepest, darkest fear in the eye and laughed. Oh, and you also bought a Speedlite and learned a bit about how to use it. Congratulations! You are no longer a slave to your environment. The only curveballs you now face are your clients’ temperaments. Just make sure to bring plenty of AA batteries and, when in doubt, ditch your lights and go with available light.
