I’m a huge fan of Annie Leibovitz and the imagery she has captured over the past few decades. Being a self-taught photographer, I looked to her work time and time again for inspiration and motivation.

Lighting the Old Masters



Lighting the Old Masters from VIA-Verlag on Vimeo.
When illuminating paintings there are three key issues that require addressing: the intention of the artist, energy issues, and the conservation of the works of art. For decades, the possibilities available for defining the meaning of paintings using purposefully designed lighting were limited. The development of solid state lighting has provided a whole new scope for addressing design challenges. Francesco Iannone and Serena Tellini from the lighting design practice Consuline in Milan have combined their knowledge and understanding of LED technology and neuroscience, and developed a new design philosophy for lighting paintings and frescoes that is making the international community sit up and listen.
Moritz Gieselmann reports on their work in the Italian city of Monza.

Joe McNally - Repeating Flash !!!

I really enjoyed this viedo, my question to you is how do I set up my sb900 for repeated flash on my Nikon D90.. thank you

Turn the flash on. If it is not responding check the batteries. Make sure it is set to "ON" and not "REMOTE" or "MASTER". Press the button labeled "MODE" once. Turn the wheel until the mode changes to "RPT". You can now adjust the flash output (1/128 to 1/1), amount of flashes and frequency (in Hz, a.k.a. flashes per sec.) with the three menu buttons (below the display) and the wheel.
