The second part of my Nikon CLS video series. In this video we shoot a toy car and make lighting adjustments using Nikon's CLS to control the output of the flash.

Why did you alter the flash compensation instead of opening up the aperature a bit?

[ImageGuyMikey]

@pjos111 I wanted to keep the aperture the same to maintain depth of field.

what lens did you use?

[ImageGuyMikey]

@azskull I used the 50mm f1.8 for the shoot

Why would you do tutorials when you obviously need more experience?

[ImageGuyMikey]

Because I can :) Seriously, I switched to Nikon earlier this year and wanted to show some simple things that I learned with the new camera system.

Flash and f-stop control exposure as long as ambient light is not bright enough to come into the mix. @ f8-using iso 400 in normal room light, you would get the same exposure using 1|320 or even as slow as 1\100.

Hmm by the way.. Was the car moving so fast You needed 1/320 of a second exposure?

Thank you for making this video. This is much better than trying to figure it out myself. I appreciate your taking time to do this, as it saved me a lot of time.

@ImageGuyMikey

you can also use the SU800 commander unit form Nikon to trigger the SB600 I have a Nikon D60 and I use the SU800 commander unit to trigger my SB600

"Histograms a little closer" , that's a real good use of 4 words isn't it !!!!

So is "pretty good here".

I stand by what I said. This video is useless.

"Thanks for watching" should have said "Thanks for watching me waste 4 minutes of your life".

BTW, I know all the terms I originally asked about, learnt it elsewhere, shame I got fooled into thinking that a video entitled "CLS basics" should really have been called "CLS in a Video, lets waffle while I fiddle with some dials".

[weasel98433]

Dude, you're a fucking moron. You need EVERYTHING EXPLAINED TO YOU? The guy wanted to show how the CLS system worked not HOW TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER. What a dumbass. You come on here trying to look intelligent by pointing out what you think are his mistakes and end up making yourself look like an idiot. Good going pal.
