One Stop Under

Strobist is a great resource for learning everything there is to know about lighting. Start with the Lighting 101 page, which links off to lots of other articles.

The information starts off very basic, with the two things your flash needs to have. It then moves on to cover topics such as light stands, umbrellas, PC synch cords, wall and ceiling bouncing, balancing flash with ambient lighting, and many other techniques. There’s even an article on reverse engineering the lighting used in other peoples’ shots, so you can try to replicate effects you like.

Just be prepared for a lot of reading!
