Nikon’s CLS [Creative Lighting System] gives the freedom to shoot with remote speedlights, and the ability to control the master [on-camera] and remote [off-camera] flash units from a simple and quick menu system. High speed-sync high-speed flash-fill shooting in bright daylight is so easy with this system and the camera/flash units will sync perfectly all the [...]
I was experimenting with two off-camera flash units placed low on the floor skimming the light of one off the ceramic tiles and one placed behind a white window curtain to diffuse it…. the “beep” from the remotely triggered flash units brought Mannat curiously checking what was going on. I turned and caught a quick [...]
A multi photographers bird-photography exhibition - I went to view Samiul Mohsanin’s photos today. A treat! Samiul is a student of Jahangirnagar University, extremely knowledgable about the habitat and birds, and has hosted us and been our guide on a previous birding visit.

Lesson learned: Back it up. Back it up. [...]
