Traveling in Bolivia with the Nikon D800 and no plan is by Stephen Ironside (Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram):
In 2013, I realized I wanted to shift my business to a more commercial photography focus, and decided to stop booking weddings. The last wedding I had booked was a big one—a destination wedding in Bolivia, right after New Year in 2014.

It took Fabrizio Belardetti 5 years to collect 124 Nikon pins. Some are pretty common and some are really rare. A couple to notice are the “Nikon salutes WHNPA” directly from the White House, the rare “Nikon Hunting Optics“, the Nikon F3 HP enamel and the old Nikon logo from the 60’s (black oval, made out of silver!). All of the tie clasps with the Nikkor glass are very expensive and hard to find.
Fabrizio also has a Nikon phone cards collection that is currently listed for sale on eBay:
The Nikon 1 J5 will be announced in the next few weeks. In addition to 4k video, the J5 will have a new 20.8MP sensor and NFC (Near Field Communication)
Most English language Nikon books are also available on Amazon UK.
The Nikon MB-D16 battery grip for the D750 is finally shipping to existing pre-orders in the US. The grip was not in stock at the time this post was published – you can check availability at B&H, Adorama and Amazon (has been available on eBay for a while).
→ Apple iTunes app engineers are rumored to be currently working on a new secret project with Nikon USA at the main campus in Cupertino. Could this be a new app for the new Apple Watch that will be revealed tomorrow?
→ Apple Digital Camera RAW compatibility 6.03 released with Nikon D5500 support.
→ I added several new Nikon deals to my previous post.
→ Nikon published a new “The future of imaging” report – more info is available on the I am Nikon blog (part 1 and part 2).
→ Did you know that the Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D ED lens has a gelatin filter slot on the mount? Update: the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens also takes gelatin filters.
This article on shooting cheetahs with the Nikon D810 is by Roie Galitz (website | Facebook, see also his previous posts: Nikon D800 goes wild in Africa and Uganda with the Nikon D810):
I shoot wildlife with the Nikon D810. Even though I have access to the faster D4s, I still prefer the D810 better. Why? One reason, and one reason alone – better image quality, and that’s what it comes down to at the end of the day.
Last week I was in Tanzania, guiding a wildlife photography workshop for phototeva.com.
Warning: some of the photos are graphic in nature.
