“Nikon Behind the Scenes: High Altitude Adventure with Corey Rich, is the next set of videos in the series. They will show Corey’s techniques for shooting portraits, time lapse, action stills and video while high in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The last sets of videos are from Tamara Lackey. Her series is titled, “Nikon Behind the Scenes: All in the Family with Tamara Lackey. Tamera is well known in the professional photography circles for her fantastic family photography. In this series, she shares her secrets to great portraiture. I have seen Tamera speak at an international photography convention and I really liked her and her photographic methods.
