Nikon users get in line.  Everyone’s about to get enlightened.  A new training video titled “A Hands-on Guide to Creative Lighting” is on its way for Nikonians of all experience levels.

Two very knowledgeable photographers lead the training: Bob Krist and Joe McNally.  Both have done work for National Geographic and have a close relationship with Nikon.  Both are multi-award winners, authors/photographers of best-selling photography books, and have shot for major magazines and companies.  Both men also teach seminars and workshops.  It is without question these men know their stuff.  Who better to learn from than masters of the craft?

Viewers of the Guide to Creative Lighting will become familiar with lighting concepts to improve their photographs.  The focus will be on Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, various wireless flash units that can be placed wherever your creative mind desires.  The DVD guides you though work in the studio and on-location, teaching techniques that inspire photographers to expand their comfort zone.  You will also learn about light color, quality and placement, and dig deep into specifics of Nikon’s Speedlights.

The instruction here is more focused than what Nikon offers in the “Learn & Explore” section of their website.  At the Nikon School you can pay to attend online seminars on various subjects.  At the Digital Learning Center, you will find tips and how-to articles.   

The DVD comes out Saturday, November 1 and will cost about around $40.
