MiniTT1, FlexTT5 & AC3

I had quick test with PocketWizard MiniTT1, FlexTT5 & AC3 ZoneController for Nikon. With AC3 & ControlTL  (Control the Light) you can wirelessly control remote flashes in TTL or manual mode. There is lot to digest with all the settings and PocketWizard utility software tweaking (going through all the manuals are about reading 50+ pages) but I got the wireless controlling with AC3 to work at first try. Reliable triggering, even through walls. The standard what you would expect from PW products. Turning the control wheels of AC3 was faster way to adjust power settings of remote SB-800 connected to FlexTT5 than doing it old fashioned way from camera/commander flash menu.

When one teaches, two learn

Around two weeks ago I spent one evening teaching flash photography basics for friends. 1-3 lights setups using everything from vintage Nikon speedlights (SB-24) to battery powered heavy duty lights (Pro-7b). Why to use certain modifiers, how to guide model, what to do when wind destroys gear (like it did on the workshop) etc. Teaching is interesting way to rethink why you do the lighting certain ways and also get some new ideas from the people participating workshops.

Loupes

Hoodman Loupe

Loupes are indispensable for still & video capturing during sunny days. You can't properly focus or see the results from LCD without them.
