Today we are reviewing the new Pocket Wizard Plus III. Not only did Pocket Wizard introduce a handful of improvements, but they also lowered the cost of the trigger from $179 to $139.

Alright, it’s time for a new series! Welcome to “Getting The Shot” with your camera-geek host, Matthew Saville. The goal of this series will actually be to explain (in a NON-geeky way) what goes into making a photograph. Instead of going crazy with techno-babble and assumptions of reader skill level, these articles will focus on three simple things:
