RadioPoppers have been spotted at TriCoast Photo, and the boys over there are having a blast playing with these little babies. Here’s what I have to say about that.



Dex & Iya

Off-Camera Flash, On-Camera Style

Terry Uy, one of the best (in my opinion) photographers in the Philippines, sometimes asks me to shoot back-up for him. Yes, the fact that I know him (and he hires me) makes me just a little bit biased, but hey, his wedding folio should back up my claim. Heck, if you don’t [...]

About a month ago, I got some Cactus PT-04 v2s triggers from Gadget Infinity. Having played around with them for a while, I’ll say this much - they’re no Pocket Wizards, but for the price, they sure do some magic.
