Nikon CLS guide |
|
The Guide provides a good general overview of various techniques for mutli-flash photography and serves as an introduction to Nikon CLS. It provides one with good ideas on how to position various flashes in different settings to create special ligthing conditions. However, it does not present any meaningful instructions on how to use the CLS. It is what is says a "guide" but not a resource to learn how to optimize exposure, shutter speed, or how various Nikon flashes can be set-up in conjunction with the camera to work with CLS. In some ways, it is a marketing video for Nikon's current products. |

Lot's of useful stuff but it is terribly commercial |
I watched this thing twice to make sure I had absorbed the material presented. I feel comfortable writing this review.
Before I bought this, I read several reviews that pointed out the "commercial" like format this thing employs. Boy does it every! There are myriad little product plugs scattered through-out the DVD.
This is not to say it is without merit as a learning tool for the Speedlight series of flashes. There is a lot of good stuff on them as well as just good solid photography techniques when flashes are used.
It is worth the money, but Nikon really should consider removing most of the sales pitches when they make future training DVD's.

Great for beginners! |
|
I've done my share of research and independent learning, and still consider this to be a valuable resource for anyone seeking to learn more about CLS or off camera lighting. Every Nikonian should have a copy. |
