review 1: Cannot recommend this book enough. Inspirational and informative. Humorous and down to earth. Joe writes like he's sitting across the table from you at the pub, and of course, he takes some incredible photographs. This is not a straight instructional manual on using speed-lights. Part one (Nuts and Bolts) is a 40 or so page introduction to the equipment, grip, and other best practices. The remainder of the book consists of 2 to 6 page independent vignettes that generally start with a photograph or an assignment to get a photograph. Joe explains how he gets the shot(s), warts and all (including mistakes made along the way), and makes clear his rationale along the way. While Joe uses Nikon gear, the book is somewhat brand agnostic. As long as you know how to operate your lig... morehts Canon and off-brand shooters should have little trouble following along and reproducing the described set ups. If you only get one Joe McNally book, make it this one.
review 2: Clear, accessible writing that will help you get the most from Nikon's CLS in i-TTL mode. I would have liked to see some lighting diagrams, and also a bit more information on how a solo photographer could pull off these scenarios. A bunch of them seem to require an assistant and that's not something I can aspire to any time soon. The best information here is about blending flash with ambient light. There's lots of great information on gels, white balance, fill flash, shutter drag, EV compensation, and other issues related to getting your flash to work with the available light. A great resource overall. less
