The Nikon creative lighting product can be a radio lighting method that enables a digital photographer to manage multiple speedlights effortlessly from where he/she's standing. The wants for this kind of wireless triggering system to operate is type of sight. Which means that the speedlight models have to have the capacity to see one one more.

A lot more precisely, the infra-red receiver port on the remote or slave speedlight requirements to be able to pick up the signal coming from the master or commander speedlight mounted on your Nikon DSLR. The purpose of having a wireless system for triggering remote speedlights is to ensure that the photographer can effortlessly use multiple speedlights in a variety of configurations, which includes but not limited to the following: On-camera speedlight as master and key light, 1 remote speedlight as kicker light On-camera speedlight as master and fill light, 1 remote speedlight as key light, one more remote as hair light On-camera speedlight as master (no light emitted), 1 remote speedlight as key light, yet another remote as fill light or kicker light On-camera speedlight as master (no light emitted), 1 remote speedlight as key light, 3 other remotes as accent lights to light up different parts of a room Built-in flash as master (no light emitted), 1 remote speedlight as key light, an additional remote as fill light, five other remotes as background lights As you are able to see, the combinations are limitless!

All you will need for CLS (creative lighting program) to function can be a CLS-capable speedlight to act as a master, and yet another CLS-capable speedlight as the remote. The Nikon SB900 and SB700 speedlights are CLS-capable, and have handy switches that let you use CLS effortlessly.

The Nikon SB800 is also CLS-capable, although it uses a cumbersome menu method for CLS. The Nikon SB600 is only partially CLS-capable, as in it can only function as a remote, not a master. In case you only have 1 CLS-capable speedlight, you can also use your built-in flash on your Nikon DSLR (certain models only) to act as a master, or commander as Nikon puts it.

With many speedlights at your command, developing fascinating portraiture lighting tactics like these is straightforward: Having described the versatility of the Nikon creative lighting method, I would like to mention that my workshops are not Nikon-specific.

Any brand of DSLR is welcome. I also use third party wireless trigger systems for my lighting workshops so that you can have participants benefit from the workshops, regardless of what program they're presently utilizing. Third party wireless systems also benefit from the use of radio frequency signals, not requiring line-of-sight which is the weakness of infrared signals.
