As part of our Lightober celebration, Kerry has been been doing a series about using multiple speedlites. This presentation starts with one speedlite and works up to using a total of six different lights. This shows you what is possible with multiple lights that can really make your images stand out from other people’s work. If you are looking for more speedlites, our BB560 is on sale for only $89 through the end of the month.

Here are a couple examples from recent presentations:
