For those who have read my Canon EOS 7D review (found here), I haven’t tried the Canon 7D on nature shots yet, so last Saturday I did. Me and my friends Jason and Nino went to Fujairah, its around 2 hrs drive from Dubai. I came there to test 2 things, first, my new 7D and second the Fader ND filter. I’ll talk about Fader ND on my future blog post, I had some issues with it. I got splashed […]
