Autumn is the perfect time to practise off-camera flash, says Alistair Campbell

Learning how to use your flash off camera will allow you to manipulate light in any situation. You can overpower or shoot directly into the midday sun in July or create dark, atmospheric scenes in January. I personally find that off-camera flash works best in an overcast situation or woodland where you have a natural canopy overhead.
Autumn is a great time, as the weather begins to change and we see less sun. This is a fabulous opportunity to learn how to create your own light just how you want it.
