(Creative Lighting System) which I use quite often for my wedding photography. I have tilted and used the flash on my Nikon D300 as a master and bounced it on the ceiling so that the light can be diffused and fall on bride's face. I love my Nikon D300
which allows me to use my old 35-135mm f3.5 lens on it which was lying in my camera bag for such a long time. It became very handy for wedding photography and I never thought this lens can produce such a high quality image.
