Joe McNally has to be one of the best Nikon photographers on the planet.

On the Strobist blog, I saw the following video of a shoot Joe ran in the Dubai desert. The Strobist's post is very entertaining -- I think David actually shot the video with a Canon G9 -- so go ahead and read it for details about the shoot itself.

However, it's the video that is truly wild. At one point, Joe has 7 SB-800 flashes firing at once from a single stand. It looks like a giant flash lollipop!

I call this self-portrait "Catchlight."

As you probably know, a catchlight is the light reflected in the eyes from a flash or another strong light source. Here, though, I've "caught" a Nikon SB-800 flash in my glove...
