Righto, admission time!
I've been "doing" photography as a hobby for a few years, and more seriously in the last 18 months or so. But I have absolutely no clue at all how flash works, technically. I understand the concepts of diffusing, bouncing of ceilings/walls and that sort of thing, but as I mainly shoot travel & architecture I've never used my in-camera flash (don't even have one now with my Fuji), and don't have any speedlight type of things.
I'm feeling this is a fairly major gap in my knowledge so would like to get started and learn the basics, even if I don't use them often. Any suggestions? I guess I need a cheapish speedlight sort of thing and some good reading, then lots of practise!
All suggestions very much welcome!
