Unboxing the Pluto Camera Trigger-Will this be a valuable tool for lightning and storm photography?

I've always been enamored with storms. Growing up in Texas and Tornado Alley, I have always looked for ways to photograph lightning effectively. This season, I bought a lightning trigger. Called the Pluto, this multi-function device promises to help solve a bunch of photographic problems. It's small, looks easy to use, and promises to become a valuable part of my kit. While we're just now getting into storm season, and I haven't tried out this product yet, I am ready to put it to the test. Here is my unboxing. ### Check out www.hackberryfarmtexas.com to download our FREE Nature Photography Checklist.

Why your camera gets exposures wrong ...and how you can fix it.

Cameras aren't infallible. In fact, in many scenarios in nature photography, your camera just can't figure out the exposure. In this video, I'll show you why your camera can't always get the exposure correct and what you can do to correct it on the fly. It's a lot easier than you think! ### Download our FREE Nature Photography Checklist over at www.hackberryfarmtexas.com
