Product Description
Flash photography, especially advanced light modeling with modern iTTL flash systems, has become an art by itself, which should be mastered by every aspiring amateur photographer - and even professionals are often helpless when it comes to using the full potential of these systems.
Many photographers are already well versed in photography but don't have a clue about flash photography. It is a brand new world, so the book starts at a basic level and then moves up from there so that advanced users also gain insight.
The book shows a simple, step by step method for setting up and using the newest Nikon iTTL flash units. It solves people's frustrations with flash and specifically, shows them how to use their SB-900, SB-800 and SB-600 strobes. It also has a complete chapter showing system configuration so readers can duplicate the photos on their own.
The book teaches everything you want to know about using Nikon's iTTL flash system. It shows all the steps required to set up consistent and amazing flash photos.

 Finally! An Easy Guide to Nikon Speedlights & CLS February 22, 2009

I was fortunate to purchase the first copy of Mike's new book and have taken his Nikonian Class on the Nikon CLS system. The class was great as you would expect from the Director of the Nikonians School and his knowledge of the system is impressive to say the least. Mike has done a really great with the book going into detail with pictures and screen shots of how to use and improve your pictures using Nikon flash and digital cameras. The numerous screen shots show step by step how to access, control and set the menus on the SB600, SB800 and SB900 and the SB-R200 and SU800. You see all the menus so there is no confusion. Things like the Commander modes on D300, D700 and D3, etc., become no brainers with his easy to follow book as he references the flash and the camera settings. It's easy to understand the improvement in your pictures when you know how to control the flash on and off the camera, using diffusers and umbrellas and other techniques. If you shoot Nikon and don't really understand the flash system, or even if you think you do, you will be pleasantly surprised. I shoot with an D700, D300 and have a SB400, SB800 and SB900.
I once was blind but now I see!!! April 16, 2009

I've read a number of articles on line and the manual over and over so I had some vague ideas of the concepts already. Let me emphasize vague. This book takes seemingly complicated concepts and explains them in language and examples that made me wonder --"oh that's what the other articles were referring to". Honestly I am still reading the book but so far it's been very easy to read and understand. I'm so excited to finally understand how and why to use different functions. I am a beginner so perhaps you more experienced shooters will not find it as thrilling as me. Very very glad I bought this book!! It's frustrating to buy an expensive piece of equipment and not know how to use it! .....Was Blind but now I see!! How sweet is that!
Best Nikon Flash Book to date!! February 23, 2009

After buying and selling books on use of Nikon's flash systems, this one is a keeper. It is more informative and easy to use than anything else out there. Supurb coverage of the flash systems and their techniques. This one will stay in my camera bag with me. Half price on a Gold Nikonians membership as an added bonus. Well worth the price.
Great book, about time! March 4, 2009

The user manuals that accompany speedlights are tough to read, and some of the other guides aren't a lot better. Mike Hagen just hit a homer with the updated "Creative Lighting System". Having a SB-600, R1, and just purchasing the new SB-900, I needed a book to simplify the units for me, and here it is. Read it in a night, and actually learned to use my units the way they were designed to be used. Thanks Hagen!
The absolutely best CLS book available June 6, 2009

Mike Hagen has produced an outstanding and comprehensive book on how to use the Nikon CLS system to maximum advantage. It also covers all current Nikon strobes in detail, and the same for Nikon cameras that can use the CLS system. It is written in an easy-to-follow and understandable manner, and makes the set-up and use of the CLS system very easy to master, contrary to Nikon's instructions books which are about as hard to follow or understand as any such instructions I have ever encountered. A really big "plus" for this book is the very high quality printing of both text and photos. Many books of this type fall down on the graphics and photos; this one does not as the graphics and photos are clear, large enough to see easily and demonstrate the function the author is explaining. Last but not least is the author's willingness to respond to emails with specific questions. His email address is in the back of the book. I could not be more pleased.
