Any tips or resources I can read? I know nothing about flash photography and really only care to know enough to take good LDPs at night.

In for the pro tips! I've been playing around with an on camera speed light for the past month or so, have the equipment to set it up on a stand but haven't messed around with it much yet.
Seems like the basic process is expose for as much ambient light as you want (ie sunset on the horizon) and then adjust flash power as required for proper subject exposure. The hardest part to me seems to be the process of setting up the flash umbrella/animal/hunter to provide quality light on both subjects without any weird shadows.Last edited by agtex42; 10-16-2017, 03:13 PM.

I have a very cheap LED light (it's allows you to dim the brightness up or down as needed) and I literally just had someone hold it in various positions until I liked the result. Here's a recent pic using it and also a link to it on Amazon.
I'm no pro by any means, but for our purposes, it works pretty well.

You talking about something like this?
This was a 30 sec exposure with a flash fired right before the shutter closed.

Taking LDPs at night
My hunting buddies use headlights and as much light as we can in the background. Take several pictures and keep the good ones. Nothing fantasy but it works. I've gotten where I really try to take the time to attempt to take a good picture. I've killed several good deer in the past that I wish I would have taken a few more pictures to have the memories.

The only flash I had was a manual flash, so I just pressed the test button right before the shutter closed.
