Further adventures in flash...

OK OK so it does work, or rather the flash gun does when you are in the right mode. So the next thing is to dig out the flash gun manual do some reading and then trawl through the net to try and work out how to get the exposure right. Given that it's now dark in Scotland before I get out of work I'll have to have something to while away the long winter nights with zero light!!

Any of you you strobists out there that can give me Strobist 101 advice I'd much appreciate it.
