Book of the Day: The Nikon Creative Lighting System

9 years 7 months ago - 9 years 7 months ago #402176 by PT Talker
As promised, today's featured book is for the Nikon crowd. If you're a Nikon user and interested in working with CLS equipment, you're going to want this book. It's written by Mike Hagen, a workshop leader and is the definitive guide to Nikon's intelligent flash system.



One feature I particularly enjoyed about this book is the fact that after first introducing you to the CLS and iTTL, the second chapter is a quick reference for setting up any of the devices covered in the following chapters for all of the possible modes and combinations. This means you don't have to bounce back and forth in the chapters to configure your equipment while learning to use it.

In addition to a chapter dedicated to each component listed on the cover, with detailed operating instructions as well as an overview of the system. Like any good manual, it also gives you a comprehensive chapter on flash theory as well as instruction on lighting techniques, case studies and examples of practical use of the system.

This book is an excellent reference and study guide for a very technical system and an important addition to any Nikon photographer's library.
