Joe McNally
Joe McNally is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose career has spanned more than 30 years and included assignments in 60 countries. McNally is often described as a generalist because of his ability to execute a wide range of assignment work.

Watch as Joe McNally tests the strength of his DSLR’s built-in flash to get the line of sight TTL transmission, and then uses his SB-900 as a commander in order to “talk” to the flash on his subject in this video.
It is important to use a TTL transmission when taking photographs of a subject that has a large depth of field. By using this technique, you can stack the background lighting and color in close to your subject in order to achieve the photo you need. The TTL transmission will make it easier for you to capture your subject from a distance.
