We cover of course, current Nikon Speedlight’s such as SB-900 and SB-700, plus previous units such as the popular SB-800 and SB-600. And because I have used Speedlight’s for so long and in detail, I am happy as well to help people with even earlier options.

Nikon Capture NX Course…
I am very pleased to say that Nikon UK LTD have asked me to host their upcoming workshop on Capture NX on October 3rd.
This is something I am very happy to do, because while it may not be the most ‘fashionable’ of software based on user numbers, I do use it myself as a fundamental aspect of my workflow.

So having taken the time to really understand its concepts, character and how to set it up in practical, day to day use, I will be sharing that knowledge to save others lots of time.
Personally, I am still to see anything better for working on Nikon Raw (NEF) files in an overall technical sense.
In truth I do have other software options, and respect each for it’s strengths, but shooting around Nikon’s ‘Total Imaging System’ concept makes a lot of sense to me once everything is set-up properly with the right workflow. Most often an image starts and ends in Capture NX.
Of course, the content is also a fine introduction too many general post capture capabilities, no matter your software preference and needs. And don’t forget that if you shoot Jpegs or Tiff files, virtually any camera system can be used at the front end with Capture NX alongside.
So for the non professional, looking to maximise their ‘fun’ with image making, through too those aiming for a professional workflow, using Capture NX in full, or as part of the post capture process, there will be a lot covered. And as always, we aim to make it fun and factual for everyone’s benefit. For more details: Click Here.
