DESCRIPTION:
In this book, Michael Mowbray shows readers how to set up a completely speedlight-based portrait photography studio. Readers will learn about selecting speedlights (Mowbray covers Canon, Nikon, and third-party units), learning standard operations, and working with the units on the camera’s hot shoe (a connectivity device on top of the camera) or in the periphery for more flexible, controllable results. He goes in depth regarding gear and techniques, providing photographers with scores of example portraits and lighting diagrams to make it easy to follow along and replicate the portrait lighting effects that he shows. Readers will learn why modifying the light from speedlights will produce a lot more bang for their buck and will also discover a host of toolscommercial and DIYthat can be used to change the direction, color, and quality of light for the ultimate artistic control.
good information about 3rd party flash systems Gregory This is one of those books that definitely provides some good information, particularly about third party flash systems and modifiers. While the author seemed to make a point of mentioning many different speed lights along with many different triggering mechanisms, he didn't go into enough detail on any given system for the book to be valuable as a guide to using those systems. As soon as one system was described, he was off to the next, which was good in terms of covering a lot of ground, but n. "The formatting is like a bad website from 1995" according to Joe W. Jackson. I got the kindle version Its very hard to read and follow. The formatting is like a bad website from 1995!. Wow speed lighting can work I found this book to be amazingly informative. I know that I will be referring to it frequently as I wish to try the methods described. There's a lot here and it is not for the faint of heart. Happy shooting.
