Summary: Great for beginners!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Nikon creative lighting
Comment: I am vert impressed with this DVD. The material is presented in a clear and logical manner. Both Bob Quist and Joe McNally are outstanding.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just what I needed
Comment: I've been reading about and playing around a lot with off camera flash. This is one area photography I feel I need the most help with. It's been a bit of a struggle to get consistent results. Joe McNally's Hot Shoe Diaries book helped me a lot in wrapping my mind around the concepts of lighting, but I just needed a little bit more. This DVD filled in the gap for me.
I've watched it several times and found Bob Krist's overview of lighting set-ups and Nikon Lighting equipment very helpful, and something I could put to use right away.
The real treat is when Bob teams up with Joe out in the field, finding lighting solutions to various shooting situations. Listening to the two of them discuss, and solve the lighting challenges is gold. This gives you real insight, almost as if you were with the photographer, which you just can't get with a book.
I really hope Nikon expands on this DVD, and offers a series of these, provided they include more of the invaluable location challenges and solutions. That's where the real insight is, at least for me.

Summary: Great Creative Education
Comment: It is a great informative DVD, It does not go super deep in flash education like "Hot Shoe Diary" however it shows solid foundations about Nikon CLS and also shows you why "Joe Mcnally" is the photographer he is and you are not (at least I'm not). as a hobbyist with one SB900 I can't recreate the images that Joe took, but at least I can see how he did it. For me it was informative, really informative. But it is not all in one product were you watch the DVD and you know all about flash, you definitely need some flash basics before watching the DVD. It sat on my shelf for about 6 months and in the end I was really happy that I made time to see it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's ok... If you already have a good idea of flash photography. More like a catalog!
Comment:
So, maybe my hopes where to high with this CD but I really hoped
to actually learn a hole deal about light with this DVD, especially
for $26US (Worth the same than the Hot Shoe Diary book)!!!
Instead, I ended up watching a 1hour long advertise of the Nikon
CLS System, of course, to make me want to buy more equipment, and
then a few tips for on-location work.
The only thing the DVD explains well is the 3 Characteristics of ligh:
Direction, Quality, Color.... PERIOD!!!
So, yeah, it's interesting to see McNally work on location and he sure
mentions a few tips (like maybe two!) But if you want to learn light
save the money and buy a book or something, cuz this just aint it.
