Speedlights & Speedlites: Creative Flash Photography at the Speed of Light (Paperback)

Canon Speedlites and Nikon Speedlights are small, off-camera flashguns that can provide big results - if you know how to use them properly. Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones, Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of how to get the most out of these powerful tools in this indispensable guide, packed full of inspirational images and comprehensive diagrams of the lighting set ups used to capture them.

They are significantly more advanced, lighter and considerably cheaper than a standard flashgun, and have many advantages. They are small (and cheap) enough that a number can be carried in your kit, and they can be used in combination, triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering, which allows you to use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction, rather than havng to use a light meter or trial and error. They use proprietary, dedicated technology (from Canon and Nikon) that means there are no compatability issues.

Getting the most out of them, however, remains a mystery - most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. This is where this book comes in.

佳能 Speedlites 和尼康 Speedlights 是小型的、非相機閃光燈，如果您知道如何正確使用它們，它們可以帶來巨大的效果。波士頓著名攝影師 Lou Jones、Bob Keenan 和 Steve Ostrowski 在這本不可或缺的指南中，引導您了解這些強大工具的技術和創意方面，內容豐富，包含啟發性的圖像和捕捉這些圖像所使用的照明設置的詳細圖解。

它們比標準閃光燈更先進、更輕便，且價格更便宜，具有許多優勢。它們小巧（且價格便宜）到可以攜帶多個在您的攝影包中，並且可以組合使用，透過無線觸發。它們使用透過鏡頭（TTL）測光，這使您可以使用相機的液晶顯示屏和直方圖來計算所需的功率/方向，而不需要使用光度計或進行試誤。它們使用專有的、專為佳能和尼康設計的技術，這意味著不會出現兼容性問題。

然而，如何充分利用它們仍然是一個謎 - 大多數攝影師仍然只是將速閃燈與標準閃光燈使用相同的方式。這就是這本書的用途所在。
