Despite “phone call of my dreams” from Nikon, photographer Julia Kelleher is no longer part of the Nikon USA Ambassador program

Nikon Ambassadors
Written By Robert G Allen Photography

Despite still using the Nikon Ambassador logo on her website, Jewel Images, and Facebook page, Julia Kelleher is no longer listed on Nikon’s ambassador program website (https://www.nikonusa.com/nikon-ambassadors) as being a member. She confirms she is out by indicating that 2024 is her last year as an ambassador on her Instagram profile.

I reached out to Julia for comment via Instagram but have not received a response.

Originally a family and newborn photographer, she has recently pivoted to photographing horses (equine photography).

The fact that she is still using the Nikon Ambassador logo, it appears that she wants the benefit of having been an ambassador without having to conform to the requirements of being an actual Nikon ambassador (what ever those requirements are since little is known about them and it appears ambassadors are sworn to secrecy about discussing them).

I will update this post if I hear back from Julia Kelleher.

Nikon COOLPIX P950 captures Condor Airlines at 35K feet

I was not familiar with Condor Airlines so I did a bit of research. Condor was founded in 1956 in Germany. According to it’s website, it’s Germany’s “most popular leisure airline”. The unique strips livery was introduced in 2022 to “Introduce a new brand identity: Inspired by parasols, bath towels and beach chairs, Condor now wears stripes in five colors. This illustrates the development from a leisure airline to a unique and unmistakable vacation brand.” The green and white livery in the photo I captured is their Island color theme.

Today, Nikon issues new firmware for the Z8 digital camera

Changed the default values for the following settings displayed when connecting wirelessly:

- Encryption keys
- The password displayed after the camera's default settings are restored

• Fixed the following issues:

- Green color casting occurred with some pictures taken.
- The date and time set in camera sometimes would not be correctly applied.
- Using [Picture review] to view an image in a “tall” (portrait) orientation and zooming in the image prevented the display from being scrolled to the intended direction with multi selector or sub-selector.
- After a firmware update, the eye sensor sometimes would not function and the viewfinder would not turn on.
- The “i” menu would sometimes remain in the viewfinder when it was looked through after the shutter-release button was pressed halfway to exit the “i” menu viewed in the monitor.
