Understanding flash photography
by Bryan Peterson (2011)
About this book
"This guide to portable electronic flash helps free photographers from the limitations of on-camera and pop-up "auto" flash to get the images they want when natural lighting isn't enough. For the many amateur photographers afraid to venture past natural lighting, this is the book that will finally help them understand how to determine and make a manual flash exposure--and explore the exciting possibilities of artificial light. In his trademark easy-to-understand style, Bryan Peterson explains how flash works and how to go beyond TTL (through-the-lens) automatic flash to master manual flash, allowing the photographer to control the quality, shape, direction, and overall effect of the light for a perfect flash exposure every time" --

Subaru
Masahito Soda
Chaque jour, à la fin des classes, Subaru prend le chemin de l'hôpital, où elle danse pour son frère, atteint d'une tumeur cancéreuse au cerveau. Lorsque ce dernier décède, la jeune femme traumatisée entreprend de devenir danseuse professionnelle, cet art étant pour elle le seul moyen d'extérioriser ses sentiments. Or, des cabarets aux grandes scènes, la route est longue ... Une intrigue bien ficelée mettant en scène des protagonistes au caractère bien trempé. Si quelques crises de larmes auraient pu être supprimées, le courage, la persévérance et le travail qu'effectue la jeune femme sur elle-même sont rendus avec une belle intensité, à la fois par des dialogues bien sentis et un gracieux coup de crayon faisant se mouvoir les corps avec souplesse.
