David and Joe performed well as they used their laid-back humorous ways of teaching flash photography. They both shared key points to using flash beyond the popup camera flash. They teach lighting as if it is cooking. David says, "It's like adding salt to the recipe." Adding light can only make your picture better. Control your ambient light and add fill, key, and accent light to your picture. Joe explains in his hours of teaching: "What worked for you today is not going to work for you tomorrow." You need to know how to use Manual and TTL flash and adapt according to the environment (type of light/s: florescent, full sun, window light, ... ) you are working in. Joe says "Light is essential... You have to shape it... Light is a language we use as part of our subject."
Thanks David and Joe for helping me better understand the language of light and the use of Manual and TTL flash.

Joe used his The Flash Bus Crew and randomly selected people from the audience to demonstrate his creativity with TTL flash. Joe showed us how to use light in creative and unexpected ways.
