The Nikon Speedlights flash system is a wonderful tool. Notwithstanding, new users seem disconcerted with the names, descriptions and instructions to use it, not to mention how to use it well. Most feel a visual demonstration is imperative, so here it is. In this article you will find many samples images of using Speedlights under various conditions, indoors and outdoors.
We have many Speedlight resources here at Nikonians, such as this overview which you may find helpful. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask in our Speedlights forum where a lot of conversations and insight on Nikon flashes is being shared.
