Description
A full-color, go-anywhere guide to Nikon's entire array of creative lighting possibilities
Nikon's Creative Lighting System is like having a low-cost, wireless, studio lighting system that's portable enough to fit into a camera bag. Although the possibilities are endless and exciting, setting up, synchronizing the equipment, and determining lighting ratios can be a bit overwhelming. Luckily, this Digital Field Guide has been completely updated to shed some light on the situation!

- Clearly explains how to get the best results when using multiple speedlights
- Includes examples and unique advice on how to light specific subjects, such as weddings, wildlife, portraits, product shots, and corporate locations
- Covers other Creative Lighting System components, such as Nikon's wireless commander and macro speedlights
