Default picked up a new flash

went to b and h in the city last night to get a new flash,
sure enough i bumped into Norm (f1 fanatic) while he was working.

Norm is the Man!!!!
he really helped me out and explained a bunch of things that i wasnt aware of.
now i need to learn more.

anyone know of any sites with detailed info on how to use external flashes?
i picked up the canon speedlite 580ex ii

any neat tricks or methods i should mess around with that you guys would recommend?

Great seeing you yesterday. I was having the worst day, and having you pop in really made my day bro.

If you want, we can get together and I can show you a bit when I am not working. I should also have some DVD's for you shortly to check out.. It will be a real eye opener!
