Vello FreeWave Plus II Wireless Remote Shutter Release Review

January 2, 2023 By Eric Reagan Leave a Comment

The Vello FreeWave Plus II is a wireless shutter release that can trigger the shutter from up to 320′ (~97m) away. The FreeWave Plus works with most cameras that have a remote port, including Canon mirrorless and DSLRs, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, and Panasonic, among others.

Nikon Launches Z 9 Flagship Mirrorless Camera

November 3, 2021 By Eric Reagan

Last week, Nikon launched its new Z 9 flagship mirrorless camera with a 45.7MP FX-format Stacked BSI CMOS sensor and a frame rate of 20fps RAW capture with 1000+ image buffer. The Z 9 adds the next-generation EXPEED 7 image-processing engine and claims to offer “unparalleled AF performance using a revolutionary new scene detection system built on deep learning technology.” Nikon has also eliminated the traditional mechanical shutter thanks to the improved sensor readout. It features shutter speeds down to 1/32,000s.

In addition to its still imaging prowess, the Nikon Z 9 packs a punch for video capture with up to 8K video at 24p/30p frame rates (with an 8K/60p frame rate option coming via a 2022 firmware update) and 4K at up to 120p frame rate. As a flagship camera, the Nikon Z 9 looks to deliver across the board in shooting performance, control options, and durability/weather resistance.

Nikon Z 9 Key Features

  • 45.7MP FX-Format Stacked CMOS Sensor
  • EXPEED 7 Image Processor
  • 8K30p and 4K120p Video, 10-Bit Internal
  • Up to 20 fps Raw, 30 fps JPEG Shooting

  • Blackout-Free Real Live Viewfinder
  • 3.2″ 4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen LCD

How to Use Neutral-Density (ND) Filters to Show Smooth Water Motion

November 2, 2021 By Eric Reagan

I love the long-exposure look and feel of moving water in a mountain stream. It’s a look that adds a somewhat soothing vibe to a nature image and it’s hard to get that just straight out of the box camera. In this article, I’m going to show you how I make this effect happen with a relatively simple and affordable addition to my camera kit. [Read more…]
