Hey BES, I recently got the 430EXII also. You will absolutely love it. You got it, the flash has an ETTL mode where it exposes the picture correctly for you. You will want to shoot in M though on your camera. Play around with different shutter speeds and aperture values. It's so much fun.


I like others here, stronglyyyy recommend the [url="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html]Lighting 101[/url]series from the Strobist blog. While Strobist [i]is [/i]geared towards off camera lighting, you'll still be able to learn some valuable things about bounce flash and how to get the best [i]quality [/i]light.


Above all, have fun with it! If you're not having fun, your pictures will show. So take a day and screw around with your newest <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]toyinvestment!
