Nikon crisis: Operating profit forecast down 30%.

Also Nikon is suffering the digital camera market collapsing. Bloomberg reports:

Nikon plunged 11 percent, the most since August 2013 and the biggest drop on the Nikkei 225. The camera maker forecast 30 billion yen in operating profit for the year ending March, missing the 49.8 billion yen estimate of analysts. The company also slashed its 2017 operating-profit target to 38 billion yen, down from 110 billion yen in June.

Armed with plenty of Phase One gear Jodi Jones Photography hosted a workshop in the beautiful Dominican Republic.
She told us this about the workshop:

"The concept is simple: swimsuit + beautiful model + beach = Awesome photos. I knew everyone would love
the pictures and the morning sunshine rays always perform. The students had a blast and we talked about how to get
control over the lighting. Its actually the best time to teach when you have the sun not overhead. You can talk about
the placement combination of light, reflector, and model. The Screen on the IQ250 performed perfectly so we could
see the picture sharp and bright."
