Expert Shield

Expert Shield and how I botched adding it

As the D750 screen comes without any plastic screen protector I decided to try Expert Shield protector. Unlike the snap on plastic covers, film based covers protect mainly from scratches but are also close to invisible when attached carefully (which I failed to do).

Profoto B1 & Air Remote TTL-N


B1

Profoto released last year new  flash product Profoto B1 marketed for off-camera flash segment. It is compact, cordless, powerful and remote TTL controlled with new Air Remote TTL trigger.  You can check the tech specs and official FAQ. As the Nikon Air Remote was finally available, I wanted to try out how the unit works in practice. I used the flash & Air Remote TTL-N remote in outdoor location & indoor studio shoot taking about 1000+ frames. For me, using the gear in real shoots is best and only way to test how they perform. Some first impression below and separate section about Air Remote TTL.

Nikon D750

Nikon D750 first impressions

Been busy with work and lots of travelling and I haven't been updating this blog for months. Lets end the year with few gear reviews/first impressions posts. Those seems to be anyways the most interesting content for readers.

D750 feels like great successor for my trusted workhorse, D700. This camera with small prime like 50mm is compact, has great grip ergonomics (something that should have been in Df) and feels FUN. It is great camera for both studio & event photography. List of first impression below after using the camera for about two months and having multiple outdoor & studio shoots.
