商品描述

Following up on the great success of The Moment It Clicks and The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes, legendary magazine photographer Joe McNally takes us on another memorable ride with Sketching Light, another trip into the land of light--but this time running the gamut from small flash to big flash, and everywhere in between.

Of course, Joe includes coverage of Nikon Speedlights, but he also covers big flash, as well as "in-between" lights as the Elinchrom Quadra. The exploration of new technology, as well as the explanation of older technology. No matter what equipment Joe uses and discusses, the most important element of Joe's instruction is that it is straightforward, complete, and honest. No secrets are held back, and the principles he talks about apply generally to the shaping and quality of light, not just to an individual model or brand of flash.

He tells readers what works and what doesn't via his let's-see-what-happens approach, he shows how he sets up his shots with plentiful sketches and behind-the-scenes production shots, and he does it all with the intelligence, clarity, and wisdom that can only come from shooting in the field for 30 years for the likes of National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated--not to mention the wit and humor of a clearly warped (if gifted) mind.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

繼《The Moment It Clicks》和《The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes》的巨大成功之後,傳奇雜誌攝影師 Joe McNally 帶我們再次踏上難忘的旅程,這次的書名為《Sketching Light》,探索光的世界——但這次涵蓋了從小型閃光燈到大型閃光燈,以及介於兩者之間的所有設備。

當然,Joe 也包括了 Nikon Speedlights 的使用,但他同時也探討了大型閃光燈,以及像 Elinchrom Quadra 這樣的「中型」燈具。他對新技術的探索,以及對舊技術的解釋,無論 Joe 使用和討論什麼設備,他的教學中最重要的元素是簡單、完整且誠實。沒有任何秘密被隱藏,他所談論的原則普遍適用於光的塑造和質量,而不僅僅是針對某一特定型號或品牌的閃光燈。

他通過「讓我們看看會發生什麼」的方法告訴讀者什麼有效,什麼無效,並展示他如何用豐富的草圖和幕後製作照片來設置他的拍攝,所有這一切都展現了他在《National Geographic》、《Time》、《Life》和《Sports Illustrated》等雜誌上拍攝 30 年所積累的智慧、清晰度和洞察力——更不用說他那顯然扭曲(但才華橫溢)的思維所帶來的機智和幽默。
