Customer Review: It Was Worth the Money
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD quickly progresses from a single flash unit to multiple flashes, more than you or I will ever own or want to own, like 13 units!. However, that is not as intimidating as it may sound because we can always substitute light sources we do have handy (lamps, spots, floods, even the little aluminum shade lights our dad had, etc) for some of the extra flashes. And using even three lights covers most of it.
The beginning stuff is a little tedious as it should be, but once they actually start using equipment, things are good. And when Joe McNally steps in, the pace can get faster than I can follow, and they don't always tell us things like which lens they are using until after a while, if ever.
Was it worth it? Yep, because seeing is believing and monkey-see, monkey-do is the name of the game. All I have to do is copy what they do and be as creative as I can with it all.
This DVD is really geared for the Nikon CLS (Creative Lighting System) of wireless remotes and a commander, which is a very cool and compact system of lighting now that I see it in action. However, the principles can be used with whatever flash equipment you have or even with standard lights around the house.
We are supposed to know all this stuff and most of us have read about it in books, but actually seeing weddings, dancing, and so on being lighted has much more impact than diagrams in books.
I liked it and will watch much of it again. I also bought more Nikon equipment than I should after seeing it, which is just what Nikon wants. I don't know why they don't post all of the sections on line for free. They would sell a lot more stuff that way.
All in all, it was worth it.
