Description

Canon Speedlites and Nikon Speedlights are small, off-camera flashguns that may give big results – if you understand how to use them properly. Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones, Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of easy methods to get the most out of these powerful tools in this indispensable guide, packed full of inspirational images and comprehensive diagrams of the lighting set ups used to capture them.

They are significantly more advanced, lighter and considerably cheaper than a standard flashgun, and have many advantages. They’re small (and cheap) enough that a number will also be carried in your kit, and they are able to be used in combination, triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering, which lets you use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction, reasonably than havng to use a light meter or trial and error. They use proprietary, dedicated technology (from Canon and Nikon) that means there are no compatability issues.

Getting the most out of them, alternatively, remains a mystery – most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. That is where this book comes in.
