Nikon Creative Lighting system?
I keep hearing how good nikon’s creative lighting system is….wireless flashes and so forth….
However, do people really use multiple flashes?? I thought by the time they get to that point (studio work), fixed lighting is typically used??
Or am I wrong?
Do flashes give more control?? Are flashes still used with fixed lighting??
I use (and love) my Nikon CLS. I have a SB 800 and 600. I never get the opportunity to shoot in a studio, so all of my shoots are on-site. With my two SB’s I don’t have to worry about cables, battery packs (although that would decrease my recycle time), or hiring a sherpa to tote all my gear around. I also don’t have to shell out a few hundred dollars for Pocket Wizards (a purchase I’m saving for later). It’s also nice to be able to dial the lights’ power up or down with my camera. As for “fixed” lighting, I assume you mean continuous? The only downside to continuous lighting is that they get really hot, so you couldn’t use soft boxes or any other equipment that might burn or melt.
