商品描述

In this updated, second edition of the authoritative, bestselling Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography, photographer NK Guy brings the book fully up to date, with coverage of all the newest Canon gear that has hit the market since the first edition published in 2010. This includes coverage of the radio-enabled Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT, as well as the other Speedlites that have released since the first edition’s publication: Canon Speedlite 90EX, 270EX II, 320EX, and 600EX.  

Digital cameras and flash technology have truly revolutionized photography in the 21st century. Originally seen simply as a practical way to illuminate dark scenes with portable light, flash today is used for a host of creative and nuanced applications, including supplementing daylight, designing complex scenes lit by multiple light sources, and simply creating beautiful, controllable light for portraiture. With LCD screens on DSLRs, the ability to get instant feedback on lighting setups is a great help in advancing one’s lighting capabilities and encouraging experimentation.

However, flash photography can still be a difficult artistic and technical challenge. It’s simple to get that harsh deer-in-the-headlights look from built-in automatic flash, but it is a far cry from beautiful light. Creating natural-looking images is not nearly as straightforward. Mastering the properties of light and the ability to manipulate, craft, and direct it is a lifelong endeavor. Those diving into Speedlights need some help. Manuals are terse and the terminology is confusing―this is where Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography comes in. 

This is the complete book on the subject, guiding you through Canon’s Speedlite system, from off-camera portable flash to professional studio lighting. It covers the fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key lighting concepts, and documents a wide range of Canon and third-party equipment. Universal flash accessories, studio gear, and radio triggers are all thoroughly covered. 

The book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams that demonstrate important functions and lighting arrangements, and inspiring photos that show sophisticated flash techniques. Though tailored for users of Canon EOS cameras, owners of other camera systems will find much valuable information as well.

So, whether you’re just getting started with flash, or you’ve picked up the bug for off-camera lighting from such popular websites as Strobist.com, or you’re making the leap into advanced studio work, Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography is your in-depth resource.

Includes a foreword by David Hobby, noted photojournalist and founder of Strobist.com.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這本權威、暢銷書籍《精通佳能EOS閃光攝影》的更新第二版中,攝影師NK Guy將書籍完全更新至最新狀態,包括自2010年首版出版以來市場上推出的所有最新佳能設備。這包括對無線功能的佳能Speedlite 600EX-RT和佳能Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT的介紹,以及自首版出版以來推出的其他Speedlites:佳能Speedlite 90EX、270EX II、320EX和600EX。

數碼相機和閃光技術真正改變了21世紀的攝影。閃光原本只是一種在黑暗場景中提供便攜照明的實用方式,但如今它被用於各種創意和微妙的應用,包括補充日光、設計由多個光源照明的複雜場景,以及為肖像攝影創造美麗且可控的光線。在數碼單鏡反光相機上的液晶屏幕使得即時獲得照明設置的反饋成為提升照明能力和鼓勵實驗的重要幫助。

然而,閃光攝影仍然是一個具有藝術性和技術性挑戰的領域。使用內置自動閃光很容易獲得那種刺眼的光線效果,但這與美麗的光線相去甚遠。創造出自然的影像並不那麼簡單。掌握光的特性以及操縱、塑造和引導光的能力是一個終身的努力。那些開始使用Speedlights的人需要一些幫助。使用手冊通常簡潔,術語也令人困惑,這就是《精通佳能EOS閃光攝影》的用意所在。

這是一本關於這個主題的完整書籍,引導您了解佳能的Speedlite系統,從攜帶式閃光燈到專業攝影棚照明。它涵蓋了閃光測光技術的基礎知識,討論了關鍵的照明概念,並記錄了各種佳能和第三方設備。通用閃光配件、攝影棚設備和無線觸發器都有詳細介紹。

這本書豪華地以圖表展示重要功能和照明佈置,並展示了複雜的閃光技術。雖然專為佳能EOS相機的用戶量身定制,但其他相機系統的擁有者也會找到很多有價值的信息。

因此,無論您是剛開始使用閃光燈,還是從Strobist.com等熱門網站上獲得了對攝影棚燈光的興趣,或者您正在進入高級攝影棚工作, 《精通佳能EOS閃光攝影》都是您深入了解的資源。

附有著名攝影記者、Strobist.com創始人David Hobby的前言。
