Michael Andrew, also known as Michael The Maven, an award winning instructor and professional wedding photographer will take you on a step-by-step tour of both Flash Photography Techniques and the Canon Speedlite (580 and 430, both EX and EXII) on this limited edition training DVD. Speedlites are extremely complex and powerful lighting devices which will greatly aid in low light shooting situations. Beginner Flash users typically discover that using their flash is not as easy as they had hoped and then shoot without knowing how to maximize their flash systems to their advantage. Michael's Speedlite Crash Course DVD is an outstanding instructional DVD which was designed to take a pure beginner with no flash experience and train them to be an advanced user in just a few hours. Complete with lesson exercises, you will be using your Speedlite like a pro in no time.

If you are new Flash photography, this is one of the most complete DVDs available for the Canon 580 and 430 Speedlites. It is for all levels of photographers who are looking to improve their flash techniques. This DVD crash course training guide offers the tips, tricks and skills necessary to immediately see results in your photographs!

Michael's videos are unique because he assumes you have no photography training at all, starts with the basics and builds on them lesson by lesson. By focusing on principles and concepts instead of "receipes", Michael demonstrates the core fundamentals needed, the variables available and then shows you how to tweak them. The Canon Speedlite DVD gives you the tools you need and then shows you how use these tools in different situations.

Hi Michael-Just to say how great your DVD is. I have watched it twice, wrote lots of notes and what was a “dark art” in no longer mystery. That chart showing how the camera controls the light was a great help.I could never get my head around mixing ambient and flash. Now I can!!Thanks for opening the door. Today, is a very exciting day. Mike

Thank you for making the 580 Speedlite Crash Course DVD Available for Download. I live in South Africa and was able to get the video in minutes. I also appreciated the chapter breakdown menu for easy navigation. Excellent product. I am purchasing your Canon 60D DVD now! - Sal

Michael I really like the Flash Crash Course DVD. Great value. It just keeps going and going. Progressively getting deeper into more awesome techniques and ideas. Not only do you teach how to use the flash, but you give such great ideas and test exercises to try. I mean who thinks of these cools shots?! Thank goodness you do. Tons of content and your explanations are nice and slow and precise so I can follow as you demonstrate. Really impressed. Feel free to use what I’m typing here as a testimonial. Very satisfied new customer. I just blew away my friend yesterday with my new knowledge of HighSpeedSync thanks to your DVD and she a supposedly a “pro” photographer. Thanks!

Hey Michael!- Just wanted to say the DVD was GREAT! I did not realize all the things you could do with the speedlite and so much functions that I did not know existed. I just need to find time now and go practice some of the stuff from the DVD. Time to save and get another Speedlite!

Awesome job on the Canon 580 Speedlite DVD Michael. I loved it. I think you you need to be charging more for this. The information is worth at least 80 or 90 bucks if you ask me. You are the first photographer I have met who can actually explain how to use this thing. Ive asked around quite a bit. Please keep up the good work.

First of all I definately want to tell that i have NEVER EVER found someone who did international shippment at that high speed. It may be luck that the post wprked perfectely but the DVD must been sent the day i bought it - STUNNING MICHAEL. I ordered it on Sunday night. So i was expecting it middle of next week. It was here on wednesday - THATS WOW for INTERNATIONAL

I watched it yesturday completely and suddenly i got the feeling that this Speedlite is something what really helps me getting good shots. Before it was hm lets say a necdeccary tool to photograph at night. But it is soooooooooooo much more than that. After watching the DVD once i think i soaked up 70% of the information and remembered it and even now i can already see the difference in my shots. From now on the Speedlite will be in my camera bag too - all the time ;-) Lets see how this will be after watching it once again

Michael you did a tremendous job on thst DVD it is so very easy to understand and to turn your words into practical working

thanks a lot! - Matt

Thank you for a great job on the Canon Speedlite Crash Course DVD. I found you through a friend who had watched your Canon Rebel XSi DVD and she highly recommended you. I must say I was a little skeptical at first, but wow...you are an amazing teacher. I think this is what you have going for you. Ive been trying to learn my flash now for almost 3 years and I learned more in the 3 or so hours of your DVD than I have since I bought it. Please add me to your mailing list so I can know when the Lighting DVD comes out.

Hi Michael! Im writing this for anyone who is on the fence about getting your new Speedlite video....stop what your are doing right now, hop off the fence and click the little button above and order it NOW!!! You will not be disappointed at all. The price Michael is charging is an absolute steal of a deal...I think he should be charging more for it! I just took some pictures of my kids in my living room with my flash attached and I am actually happy with the results. Since I purchased my SLR, I have never, ever been able to take a picture in my home at night and have it come out looking any good. Thank you Michael

I just finished watching you Speedlight training video. I own 2 of your other DVDs and just wanted to tell you that I am convinced you are one of the most effective instructors I have ever seen. I will be purchasing ANY video you make on ANY subject. I mean it. This is how it should be, to the point, easy to understand, quick to apply. Im already seeing a night and day difference in my images- subtle as you said on the vid...but wow, what a difference!
