As I mentioned a few days back, I had the honor of meeting both David Hobby and Joe McNally during their Flash Bus stop in Boston. Thanks to Adorama – The Photography People, I was able to interview them both. If you haven't seen the interview with David Hobby yet, please check it out now.
Here is the one with Joe McNally:
This wasn't the first time I met Joe. I was one of his students at his Dobbs Ferry workshops (highly recommend it, by the way) in June 2009.
I have two of his books – The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes and The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters. His next book, Sketching Light, is due out soon and based on what he has just told me in the interview above, I just pre-ordered it.
If you have any of his books or you have attended Joe McNally's presentations in the past, please comment below.
Please thank Adorama again for making this interview possible. When they say they are the “Photography People,” I know they mean it. One way you can help Tiffinbox and yourself is by ordering all your photographic gear through them. Heck, if they are the go-to-store for Joe McNally's professional needs, why not for you?

Just finished reading The Hot Shoe Diaries actually.
Very informative however it took me awhile to get used to using Aperture priority. I’d been brought up on using manual flash and manual settings on the camera.
I can see when both might be useful now though.

I have both of Joe’s books that you mentioned above. I found The Hot-shoe Diaries to be the more helpful of the two–for my own situation. I also attended The Flashbus Tour in NYC a couple of weeks ago.
