Joe McNally - Repeating Flash

"The best photographs move you-emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. There's almost a visceral reaction to a really striking photograph that communicates on all those levels."
Joe McNally has been described as "perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today," a distinction earned for his ability to capture compelling images in locations as diverse as an operating room, the top of the Empire State Building and the cockpit of a jet aircraft. Noted for his technical mastery, what makes him unique is his ability to create and imaginatively render "the big idea"-the unique or startling concept that frames a single image or a long-term project.
He has been published in virtually every major magazine, including Life, Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated (where he was a contract photographer for six years) and is a recipient of the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for outstanding magazine photography.

thank you for this video good work

[@snuwan]

I tried this with some cheap flashes as I could not afford that many high end flashes. It worked out pretty well. It was a lot of experimenting to get the right light balance. You just need a lot of patience and ready for failures. But you can create beautiful images.

[@molhorrocksx]

how many flashes did you have?

[@Dombowerphoto]

very nice video. i want to try a shot for myself. i like the idea of them coming in and through and out of a shallow depth of field, maybe with a different colour on the different strobes. could be cool

[@skyfox70]

I have seen your work on a DVD of Kelby Training about stromboscopic flashes. Super Cooaaaal ! I would like to ask you the reference of the item that is used to attach the flash to the horizontal bar !?

[@Rahatart1]

Its really amazing video I've Q? my SB900 become heat up any help for menu settings or advise plz than more appreciated.

[@umesht.s6387]

Good morning Sir. how to set up in flash please suggest me.

[@tamimaflah]

hey .. how did you make the flashes on the stage fire without making the flash mounted on the camera in Master or Remote mode ?! :\ ..

[@ankurfcam]

How u can trigger flesh remotely in RTP MODE?

[@124moviesiwatch]

The master flash on camera must be set to not flash yet still send the command to the slaves on stage. I can't give specifics on Nikon flashes because I shoot the Canon system. I have used a camera mounted flash as master set to not flash and control slaves. The Nikon CLS will allow the same and is a great system for controlling speedlights. Read how it's done in the owners manual. Good luck and have fun.

[@davidsantaolalla295]

Nikon

[@Tenebrius1963]

We all have $10K worth of speedlights :-) Great video nonetheless .

[@hoah]
