Creative Lighting Method – Nikon CLS

The Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) is a wireless lighting program that enables digital photographers to control multiple speedlights effortlessly from their position. The primary requirement for this type of wireless triggering system is line-of-sight. This means that the speedlight units must be able to visually detect each other.

More specifically, the infrared receiver on the remote or slave speedlight needs to receive the signal from the master or commander speedlight mounted on your Nikon DSLR. The purpose of using a wireless system to trigger remote speedlights is to allow the photographer to quickly utilize multiple speedlights in various configurations, including but not limited to the following:

  1. On-camera speedlight as the master and key light, with one remote speedlight serving as a kicker light.
  2. On-camera speedlight as the master and fill light, with one remote speedlight as the key light and another remote serving as the hair light.
  3. On-camera speedlight as the master (no light emitted), with one remote speedlight as the key light and another remote serving as the fill light or kicker light.
  4. On-camera speedlight as the master (no light emitted), with one remote speedlight as the key light and three additional remote speedlights as

If you’re a music lover, then you’re probably familiar with the legendary American guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Jimi Hendrix. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time and has influenced numerous aspiring musicians with his groundbreaking music. Although he started his career in England, it wasn’t until his performance at the Monterey Festival in 1967 that he gained international recognition. Hendrix went on to headline the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival, where his unique style of playing, incorporating guitar feedback and overdriven amplifiers, transformed an unconventional sound into a highly popular form of music. His guitar of choice was the Fender ’60s Reverse Headstock Stratocaster.

Another extraordinary artist is Jimmy Page from England, who is not only a guitarist but also a composer and record producer. Page began his career as a studio guitarist before joining the Yardbirds, a band that played from 1966 to 1968. He later formed one of the greatest and most influential English rock bands, Led Zeppelin. In the history of rock, Jimmy Page is considered a legend in his own right as a guitarist and songwriter. He was ranked the 9th greatest guitarist of all time. Page’s guitars …
