Description :
When it comes to photography,
it’s all about the light.
After spending more than thirty
years behind the lens—working
for National Geographic,
Time, Life, and
Sports Illustrated—Joe
McNally knows about light. He
knows how to talk about it,
shape it, color it, control it,
and direct it. Most importantly,
he knows how to create
it...using small hot shoe
flashes.
In The Hot Shoe Diaries,
Joe brings you behind the scenes
to candidly share his lighting
solutions for a ton of great
images. Using Nikon Speedlights,
Joe lets you in on his
uncensored thought process—often
funny, sometimes serious, always
fascinating—to demonstrate how
he makes his pictures with these
small flashes. Whether he’s
photographing a gymnast on the
Great Wall, an alligator in a
swamp, or a fire truck careening
through Times Square, Joe uses
these flashes to create great
light that makes his pictures
sing.
