Multiple Flash Photography — Using More Than One Speedlight
If you have another flash unit, you can
use it as a secondary light source for
multiple flash photography. When you
use only one flash unit in front of a
subject, harsh shadows may be pro-
duced or light may not reach the
background. Using more than one
flash unit helps you solve these prob-
lems.
Carefully consider the number of
flash units to use and their locations.
For better results, position each unit
so its light can brighten a shadow cre-
ated by another.
See also “System Chart for TTL
Multiple Flash,” pages 130 and 131.
Caution
To avoid damage to flash units or incorrect oper-
ation, never mix Nikon Speedlights with flash units of
other manufacturers.
