The Nikon Creative Lighting System, 3rd Edition: Using the SB-500, SB-600, SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, SB-910, and R1C1 Flashes

I've been trying to improve on my flash photography skills for some time but was having trouble getting clear information on how my two Nikon speed lights worked with my camera. This book is excellent. It is clearly written and organized so that I was able to read the portions that pertained to my camera and speed light (Nikon D750 and SB800 and SB28) and learn what works and how it works in a clear way. It works great as a reference to return to or as a read through. I also found it helpful as I can look at the other speed lights Nikon offers and clearly see what they do and don't do in case I want to add to my kit.

I purchased this guide so I could learn all about an SB-700 I purchased for use with a Nikon D750. I have been away from SLR camera shooting for over a decade and am like a newbie coming back to it. This e-book has some very good information with clear and easy to understand instructions on all the features and uses of the flash. A good read for beginners and has some good tips for more advanced shooters, but it is not geared for the those that already have a grasp of the uses of mounted and remote flash photography.

This is a very useful book for one learning how to best approach flash photography. There are many online classes, but one can't reference them when in the field. This is a great source. I just wish it addressed Nikon's newest flash, the SB5000. It is really a much different animal, particularly when paired with a D850 or a Z6 or Z7. The book needs an update, but is a good basic reference.

Very nice description about the operation of the Nikon CLS flash system. especially the R1C1 kit. Great Author!

Nikon CLS is pretty easy once you understand it, but can be tough trying to figure out on your own. Mike Hagen does a great job explaining how to get started and some more complex issues. I wish Mike had more time to write books like this but his job with Nikonians must keep him pretty busy. If you want to learn Nikon CLS then this is the book to do it.

Helps to provide a little more info about the sspeedlights

Excellent. Covers Background, features a Quick Start Guide, Flash Theory and then goes into the specifics of the various Nikon Speedlights. Plenty of pictures showing the various effects. (Unfortunaterly I had a lot of misperceptions about flash photography prior to reading this.) The Capability of the Nikon Creative Lighting System is incredible, but the photographer must understand it to harness it for his or her benefit.

Pretty good stuff. Very useful knowledge that you might not just stumble upon by yourself-- and I've stumbled a lot... Covers a large number of Nikon flashes, so about half the book was of no use to me because I only have a single.SB-900. This is much more a technical guide than a creative one; that said, I'd say start with the nuts and bolts.

The best organised book on photographic equipment and how to use it I have seen. This is a practical approach to the Nikon speedlight system as it was when written (new models keep coming out), and the book explains in great clarity how to use cameras and flashed in combination to best effect.

Na de aanschaf van de Nikon SB-910 dit boek aangeschaft om de verdere mogelijkheden van deze flitser te bestuderen. Handig boek om alle instellingen van deze flitser te leren kennen.

I don't do a lot of flash photography so this book was just what I was looking for. It's an excellent reference manual for those occasions where I need to setup my flash systems. There's lots of information in this book which is orderly and concise.

Un bon llibre per solucionar allò que no ressolen els manuals dels flash (tot practicament...). La 3a versió ja comença a quedar obsoleta però. No s'inclouen les versions noves de flash per radio, ni les cameres D850 i D500 sense pop-up flash... Tot i així és un llibre útil, ben estructurat en generalitats i després un capítol per flash. Una bona compra, per 9.2€ que he pagar

Très utile pour se mettre les idées en place et utiliser pleinement ce système d'éclairage sous-estimé. Américain facile à lire.
