Nikon has announced that the shutter fault in its D750 that it acknowledged in July last year, may be found in cameras from a much wider manufacturing period. Initially it was thought that the issue, in which the shutter occasionally shades part of the image, occurred in cameras produced between October and November 2014.

As a product photographer, I’ve always had a problem with finding what to use as a background. Even more so when I need to go to my client to shoot their products.

In December 2015, Donald Trump held a campaign rally not too far from my house. I didnt go, but it drove home the idea that the election was coming, and elections mean news. It also got me thinking about shooting the news again.
