This instructional DVD, The Speed of Light , will teach you how to get the most out of your Nikon Speedlight System and Nikon's exclusive wireless flash technologyby going on location with world-renowned flash expert Joe McNally.
Join world-renowned photographer Joe McNally in Las Vegas as he showcases the ease and versatility of the Nikon SB-800 and SB-600 speedlight units. Watch as Joe takes you through ten different scenarios, from a simple one-light solution to more challenging multiple wireless set-ups integrating the SB- 800 and SB-600 into the lighting scheme.
Lighting diagrams of select scenes demystify Joe's placement of the speedlight units demonstrating incredible lighting techniques with Nikon's easy-to-use portable Creative Lighting System. Individual sections on the SB-800 and SB-600 speedlights provide a brief overview of the speedlight as well as all of the items and accessories that are available.
A bonus commentary track lets you hear behind the scene comments from Joe that reveal his vision and execution throughout all of the different shooting scenarios. Approximate running time: 60 minutes

This DVD is much more an Nikon advertisement in movie length. Lovely to watch once, but of no real help or source of knowledge for this wonderful flash system.

Comments about Nikon DVD: The Speed of Light by Joe McNally:
- Has no real technical information
- Shows only a very light overview of the lighting system
- Not worth the money
I expected some real tips about how to get the best out of the Nikon lighting system, instead I only saw some common pictures taken, with no technical information about how they were done and the photographer only kept saying that Nikon system was great and it did all by itself!
Much, much, much better just reading the manual!

Comments about Nikon DVD: The Speed of Light by Joe McNally:
I have to agree. Just a sales pitch. I am disappointed in Nikon as some of their videos are quit helpful.
Comments about Nikon DVD: The Speed of Light by Joe McNally:
I was very disappointed in this DVD, especially with its high price. As mentioned in the previous review there is really nothing in the way of instruction. It is all just showing off the capabilities of the system (which is quite impressive).
Expertise: Advanced amateur
Comments about Nikon DVD: The Speed of Light by Joe McNally:
This was a disappointment. It is a great promotion for the Nikon SB600 or SB800, but it does NOT offer step-by-step direction on how to set the SB series up.
