商品描述

Following up on the great success of The Moment It Clicks and The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes, legendary magazine photographer Joe McNally takes us on another memorable ride with Sketching Light, another trip into the land of light--but this time running the gamut from small flash to big flash, and everywhere in between.

Of course, Joe includes coverage of Nikon Speedlights, but he also covers big flash, as well as "in-between" lights as the Elinchrom Quadra. The exploration of new technology, as well as the explanation of older technology. No matter what equipment Joe uses and discusses, the most important element of Joe's instruction is that it is straightforward, complete, and honest. No secrets are held back, and the principles he talks about apply generally to the shaping and quality of light, not just to an individual model or brand of flash.

He tells readers what works and what doesn't via his let's-see-what-happens approach, he shows how he sets up his shots with plentiful sketches and behind-the-scenes production shots, and he does it all with the intelligence, clarity, and wisdom that can only come from shooting in the field for 30 years for the likes of National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated--not to mention the wit and humor of a clearly warped (if gifted) mind.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

繼《The Moment It Clicks》和《The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes》取得巨大成功後,傳奇雜誌攝影師喬·麥克納利(Joe McNally)再次帶領我們進入光之國度,這次的旅程從小型閃光燈到大型閃光燈,無所不包。

當然,喬包括了對尼康Speedlights的介紹,但他也涵蓋了大型閃光燈,以及介於兩者之間的燈光,如Elinchrom Quadra。他探索了新技術,並解釋了舊技術。無論喬使用和討論的是什麼設備,他的教學最重要的元素是直接、完整和誠實。他沒有保留任何秘密,他所談論的原則適用於塑造和提高光線的質量,而不僅僅適用於個別型號或品牌的閃光燈。

他通過他的「讓我們看看會發生什麼」的方法告訴讀者什麼有效,什麼無效,並展示了他如何通過豐富的素描和幕後製作照片來設置拍攝。他以30年在戶外為《國家地理》、《時代》、《生活》和《體育畫報》等雜誌拍攝的經驗,以及一個明顯扭曲(但有天賦)的心智的智慧、清晰和幽默來完成這一切。
