<p>If you own a detachable Speedlite-style flash, and you are shooting with it on your camera, you are wasting your investment in that expensive flash.  </p>
<p>Face it, on-camera flash sucks. It drains the life out of your subject and makes everyone look like they are posing for a police line-up or a driver&#8217;s license photo.</p>
<p>You gotta get that flash off your camera!</p>
<p>The video above is my YouTube &#8220;commercial&#8221; for my <a href="http://www.steeletraining.com/portraits.htm">off-camera flash course</a>.  Frankly I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s cheesy or if it&#8217;s cool, but I had fun making it, and people seem to love it on YouTube, so I thought I&#8217;d share it with you here.</p>
