Book Reviews of The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes
Book Review: Very Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very inspiring to someone who enjoys photography and wants to learn how a real pro deals with different lighting situations and uses his lighting equipment to its fullest potential. I like the informal style of the book that some other reviewers had felt negatively about. Definitely worth buying and referring to often. A couple of caveats, though. The writing does include some crude language, but I felt it was not excessive and it gives insight into the author's personality. Some of the examples are very Nikon-centric, but even if you are not a Nikon shooter (I am not), there is still plenty of useful information to be learned from this book. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of using gels on the flashes to match the white balance of the ambient light, and creatively using tungsten white balance to create certain moods. Highly recommended, an entertaining and informative read.
Summary of The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes
When it comes to photography, it's all about the light.After spending more than thirty years behind the lens-working for National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated-Joe McNally knows about light. He knows how to talk about it, shape it, color it, control it, and direct it. Most importantly, he knows how to create it...using small hot shoe flashes.
In The Hot Shoe Diaries, Joe brings you behind the scenes to candidly share his lighting solutions for a ton of great images. Using Nikon Speedlights, Joe lets you in on his uncensored thought process-often funny, sometimes serious, always fascinating-to demonstrate how he makes his pictures with these small flashes. Whether he's photographing a gymnast on the Great Wall, an alligator in a swamp, or a fire truck careening through Times Square, Joe uses these flashes to create great light that makes his pictures sing.
