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

When it comes to enjoying live music, the venue can make all the difference. Being in a dull and lifeless place can even make your favorite bands seem less impressive. However, there are plenty of venues across the world that go above and beyond in providing people with a fantastic time and the perfect ambiance for the music they love. Here are some well-known and lesser-known spots worth checking out:

In England, you have a great variety of venues. On one hand, you have grand halls like the Royal Albert, and on the other, numerous delightfully gritty drinking clubs. But in between, you’ll find some truly special treats. Hovingham village hall in the North may seem like an unlikely place to start, but at The Shed, they host some of the coolest experimental jazz and folk events you’ll ever witness.

It was 10 years ago when the Strokes delivered a memorable performance at the South by Southwest music festival at the intimate Iron Cactus venue. After a decade-long hiatus, the band made a triumphant return to the annual music event on Thursday and held a free concert at the Auditorium Shores location, with the stunning Austin skyline as the backdrop.

The band made their entrance on stage to the tune of “We Will Rock You,” but kicked off the proceedings with the opening track from Room on Fire, “What Ever Happened?” Lead singer Julian Casablancas, gripping the microphone in his trademark double-handed stranglehold, crooned, “I want to be forgotten, and I don’t want to be reminded.” It seemed like he wanted to express his genuine emotions through the song’s famous lyrics, and the audience went wild, with some even pushing against the fences just to catch a glimpse of their revered band. The vast arena deviated from the typical SXSW yearly traditions but quickly filled up as the Strokes sought to find their rhythm, showcasing the influence of indie bands on the masses.

Casablancas, dressed in a black leather jacket, wearing a calculator watch and nighttime eyewear, …
