Product Description
After spending more than thirty years behind the lens - working for National Geographic, Time, Life and Sports Illustrated - Joe McNally knows about light. He knows how to talk about it, shape it, color it, control it and direct it. Most importantly, he knows how to create it using small hot shoe flashes.In The Hot Shoe Diaries, Joe brings you behind the scenes to candidly share his lighting solutions for a ton of great images. Using Nikon Speedlights, Joe lets you in on his uncensored thought process-often funny, sometimes serious, always fascinating-to demonstrate how he makes his pictures with these small flashes. Whether he's photographing a gymnast on the Great Wall, an alligator in a swamp, or a fire truck careening through Times Square, Joe uses these flashes to create great light that makes his pictures sing.

Still hasn't arrived February 12, 2010

Hello Amazon,
I believe that this is an outstanding book, but since the product still hasn't arrived, although you send it again (the first order placement was in the beginning of December 2009), I can not make a review about it.
I suggested you not to send the package via the Hungarian national post, because almost every package are lost, no matter from who I ordered - but you answered me that you are not able to sen dit via other postal services.
I'm very upset that around $40 was lost for nothing. But the most annoying thin is that this book is not available in Hungary, that's why I've ordered from you, and it was ordered as a gift to my beloved one, and I couldn't give it to him for Christmas.
I understand that it's not your fault, but it's for sure that I'll never order from you again until you can manage to send packages via other postal services.
Thank you.

joe mcnally is the best. i also have the moment it clicks, which is my fav for sure. it's educational and funny. and i love how humble joe is. however, both books are not "teach me" books. they don't really cover the basic fundementals. You already need to be shooting a dslr and beyond beginner stage to really appreciate these books. I think.
 Real Nikon-stuff but very interesting ... February 7, 2010
Johan De Coninck (Ghent, BELGIUM)
Enormously enjoyed the swift reading of this remarcable book about flashes (Nikon-Speedlights)...
Even for a "dummie" like me this comes over as good explained and well written !
Although you need to spend a lot of money to buy all suggested pieces/accessories for better flashing it seems to me quite normal; if you really want to become a better (Nikon-)photographer in those described circumstances ...
Of course it seems easier nowadays when you have a good sponsor like Nikon !
But therefore you need more than normal skills and good luck ...

Having bought, and thoroughly enjoyed, 'The Moment it clicks' my next step was to buy 'The Hot Shoe Diaries'. Once again I wasn't disappointed it was another great and very informative read. The only downside, if I could call it that, is that the book is very NIKON orientated and as a Canon user I found myself getting lost occasionally, still can't fault the photographer for his choice of gear. Full of great tips and know how, probably a little technical for those out there who have only just bought their first flash.
