You read that right, the 8 battery charger that can charge in as little as one hour cost almost $100, and luckily came with 8 batteries.

He is an assistant to Joe McNally (and a great photographer himself), and when I was a DLWS workshop, Drew was showing us his gear. I figured, if these batteries are good enough for Joe, then they have to be good enough for me!<\/p>\n<p>PS. The noisy pics were taken with my iPhone, and not really enough light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first picture is a couple of bags worth of me doing my part to destroy the planet.
