DOC Speedlights Speedlites by Lou Jones in Arts-Photography

Description

Canon Speedlites and Nikon Speedlights are small; off-camera flashguns that can provide big results - if you know how to use them properly. Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones; Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of how 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 are small (and cheap) enough that a number can be carried in your kit; and they can be used in combination; triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering; which allows you to use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction; rather 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; however; remains a mystery - most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. This is where this book comes in.
