Run, don’t walk, to your favorite bookseller and get this new book by Joe McNally. Nikon shooters may be familiar with Mr McNally as he is one of the masters of the Creative Lighting System and appears on the Nikon DVD (The Speed of Light) on that subject.

This is not your typical "how-to" book, although you can learn a lot from it. Each 2 page spread contains a photo and a description of how it was done. A huge variety of photos are contained within these pages, from portraits to sports to product shots to just plain fun stuff.

Read each spread carefully as there’s a lot of information about light and lighting. He is one of the current masters of lighting, whether it’s available light or strobes.

You’ll also get to see inside his camera bag(s) and lighting kits. Those of you who suffer from NAS (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome) may want to skip those pages as it will just drive the desire!

Visit his blog for a dose of humor and a wonderful insight into the joy of being a photographer.
