Weekly Photo: Nikon FE

May 16, 2012

Nikon FE

This week’s Phottix Weekly Photo comes from flickr’s Martin Kornum Olsen - and was posted to the Phottix flickr group – another great photo taken with Phottix Photo Accessories.

How was it captured? Martin says:

Just found these two beauties! A perfectly preserved Nikon FE, and a spotless Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI. They’re absolutely brilliant. It’s my first film (SLR) camera, can’t wait for the first film to get processed.

Lighting details: Single SB-900 left of the camera, the D90, controlled by Phottix Strato II radio triggers, and a silver reflector on the right.

SJessica Louise Street on Culburra Beach by Sam Dickinson

Sam Dickinson is a frequent contributor to the Phottix Group on flickr. His images are stunning and have been previously featured on the Phottix Journal. How does Sam do it? What makes him tick? Read the following Q&A and get some insight into how he works on Phottix’s Photog Friday.

Name: Sam Dickinson

Country of residence: Australia

Brief Bio:
I’ve always been a geek, I studied Computer Science at university and I work as a programmer. I’ve always enjoyed pulling things apart to see how they work. I guess that’s why I’ve always liked photography. The technical side (lighting, exposure, etc) and building something from the ground up (adding and removing elements from a photo).

How did you first get interested in photography?
As a child, my father always was taking photos with his Pentax SLR (ME Super to be exact) which used to inspire me to use it to take my own. I think in those days, I was more interested in changing the settings and clicking the shutter more than the end result.

When I was at secondary school, I did a photography class which got me more interested in the composition side of things, along with developing my own prints (typically taken with a pinhole camera made in class). [click to continue…]

This week’s Phottix Weekly Photo comes from Ric Cederholm - and was posted to the Phottix Fan Page on Facebook – another great photo taken with Phottix Photo Accessories.

How was it captured? Ric says:

I was fortunate to have a set of Phottix Odin’s with me for this solo wedding that I shot for Capital Photography (https://www.facebook.com/capitalphotography).  With the Odin’s I was easily able to adjust the power and zoom settings of each flash independently, without the need to continually walk back and forth to each flash unit.  This was vital as I was quickly moving from one setting to the next and didn’t have the luxury of an assistant.
Camera: Canon EOS 7D
Focal Length: 13mm (Canon 10-22 lens)
Exposure: Manual
Shutter Speed: 1/80 sec
Aperture: f/7.1
ISO/Film: 2500
Metering: Center-Weighted Average
Taken with 2 Canon Flash units attached to the Phottix Odin’s.
- Back Flash — 430EX (roughly 50 feet back)
- Front Flash – 420EX through a gridded softbox

Phottix was part of the last week’s Beijing P&E Photo Show – one of the most prestigious shows in China. Some lucky photographers got a hands-on preview of the Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Nikon and a few other gems in the pipeline. Five lovely Phottix models were popular with local shooters.

We get a lot of requests for a Nikon-compatible version of the Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger. Rest assured – it is coming.

When it’s released we want it to work and not make you inadvertent beta-testers, forcing everyone to download firmware upgrade after firmware upgrade.

Is it worth the wait? Our testers say yes. Stay tuned for more information as it is available.
