• Clearly explains how to get the best results when using multiple speedlights
• Includes examples and unique advice on how to light specific subjects, such as weddings, wildlife, portraits, product shots, and corporate locations
• Covers other Creative Lighting System components, such as Nikon′s wireless commander and macro speedlights
