Wireless Flash

Vol. 2 No. 2

In the first post of the New Year I spoke about the B&H Event Space. Below is a series of images shoot during the recent Nikon Wireless Flash Hands-on Workshop with Shooting Stations. The class was led by Paul Van Allen, Nikon's National Training Specialist. Paul gave a short overview on how Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS), and menu selections. Then the fun started.

Soft folds of plain white printer paper lit from below with a blue/red gelled flash.

Gumball-filled wine carafe tipped over onto blue shelf liner,
lit from behind under a tent of white foam board.
 


All the subjects shown consisted of inexpensive props that can be put together at home for just a few dollars.  Use your imagination.  Any object can be fair game for your lens.

Low power flash diffused by white printer paper sits inside cheese grater
while a second blue-gelled flash sit behind it illuminating the background.


These images could make beautiful wall-hangings in the home.   Don't let your work sit idle on your computer's hard drive.  There are many ways to display your creations.  That will be the subject of an upcoming post.
