Product Description
Product Description
Flash photography, especially advanced light modeling with modern iTTL flash systems, has become an art by itself, which should be mastered by every aspiring amateur photographer - and even professionals are often helpless when it comes to using the full potential of these systems.
Many photographers are already well versed in photography but don't have a clue about flash photography. It is a brand new world, so the book starts at a basic level and then moves up from there so that advanced users also gain insight.
The book shows a simple, step by step method for setting up and using the newest Nikon iTTL flash units. It solves people's frustrations with flash and specifically, shows them how to use their SB-900, SB-800 and SB-600 strobes. It also has a complete chapter showing system configuration so readers can duplicate the photos on their own.
The book teaches everything you want to know about using Nikon's iTTL flash system. It shows all the steps required to set up consistent and amazing flash photos.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Nikon Creative Lighting System is probably the best flash system available for any of the main camera brands, but the instruction manuals are probably the worst. If you own any of the flashguns named in the title and have found that, despite reading the instruction book from cover to cover, you are still in the dark (ho ho) then this book should set you right. It's published by the Nikonians organisation and is thorough, clear and knowledgeable. The illustrations in the book are pretty dire but this is not a book about lighting technique (try Hicks and Schultz's books for that) but a book explaining how to use Nikon flash guns. I've found it invaluable.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent companion to the Guide book which comes with the product. The author examines the Nikon Creative Lighting System in detail and the information is useful for both beginners and more advanced users.
The writing style is very readable and the contents set out in a logical manner. Useful as a good overall read and as a reference manuel when undertaking a specific task. The book also clarifies many of the technical aspects of the Nikon system

Instructive and an invaluable tool for any photographer who uses flash on a Nikon Camera.
In addition to the Joe McNally books this is a must for Nikon digital camera users. The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes: Creative Applications of Small Flashes (Voices That Matter)
The advantages of using wireless flash and lighting are so easily put forward as to be almost simplicity itself.
If you didn't understand lighting with Speedlights before ... well you will when you have read and used the exercises in this book. It is a manual that explains the manual, simply, and effectively.
Go buy this book..... if you use Speedlights you need it !!! The Nikon Creative Lighting System: Using the SB-600, SB-800, SB-900, and R1C1 Flashes

I bought my sb900 last March. The manual that came with it told you all about the controls but not how to use it (I could make more disparaging remarks !!!). Read more

Thank you for saving my speed light

Largely a Regurgitation of the Instruction Manuals
This book doesn't really get under the covers to explain how CLS works and how you can best use it. Instead, it's mainly a brain-numbing expansion of the manufacturer's own... Read more

I enjoyed it.
I have SB 900 and I'm new to photography.
I found as a beginner it took away much of the mystique of the flash. Read more
