The beauty of Nikon's CLS system
is its creative power and the ease of use. This is Kiara,
she's my niece, I took her along with my Nikon flash system for a
few minutes of shooting. Of course, it was possible thanks to the
help of my children Joseph and Jacob. I used for this a Nikon SB-600,
SB-800
speedlight and an SU-800
speedlight commander (see pictures below). This system indeed works
but you may encounter some limitations if not careful when
positioning the flash units. I had no communication troubles with the
CLS system even at 3 o'clock afternoon light on our shoulders. I used
my SB-800
attached to a 32'' silver lined umbrella and an affordable Impact
umbrella stand (from B&H
Photo) on my Nikon D200. I also used for some fill light a Nikon SB-600
in group 'B'
on my SU-800.
All pictures I took were in NEF,
post processed with Nikon
Capture NX
and minor adjustments using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
