Yesssss we love light and airy 😍😍😍

Kudos to Ryan!! He did an awesome job on that backdrop!! Thanks for all your invaluable instruction, Joanie!!

Great video! You are so easy to understand and listen to. I learn something so helpful with every video.

Thank you! I love that you tell us all. the. details about each tool you use. :)

Im so exciteeeeeeeeeeed

I have never seen more honest review than this one, love you totally for that. BECAUSE i am a newbie (i know like million others), this video boosted my confidence on a whole new level. i love your tethering video too, you are a messiah for people like us who are just starting on a very tight budget, i literally felt like you are holding my hand and guiding me through this tons and tons of information that i am just blindly trying to ingest and you just breezed by and assured its all right to start low, you don't need super fancy stuff to show your calibre effectively, just be witty . you are one uber cool lady( you might see this comment in more than one video, because i guess i am like those super clingy toddlers who cling to legs of people they love)

Wow... I’m hooked!!

Thanks Joanie! Your timing with the review of the Z7 was so timely. I had no idea other camera (ie canon) could tether but allow the user to maintain control of the body. Thanks for all your clarification:)

It really drove me bonkers when I moved to the D750. I was so used to the ability to see on the LCD even while tethered in live view mode. I got used to not having it, but so so glad to have that back as it's just more convenient for tethered shooting like we do.

Congrats on the move to Nikon, and especially the Z! Thanks for the great video too.

Congratulations and welcome to the Nikon Z club! I bought the z6 after a lot of research last year and have fallen in love with it :)

Thanks for creating this video. I like the setup. I'll definitely have to look into a nikon camera in the future.

Nikon has been my love since day 1 😍 I hope I too could get my hands on the z series soon hihi

Funny thing, but myself after 13years shooting with Nikon I have bought Canon R5 and moved over and it feels like home. I love the results and it ignite the inner fire to take my camera everywhere with me :) Congratulations on Z7!

I always wanted to improove my photos I am a pastry chef and had a blog but my pictures were so bad so I bought a camera in 2017 once I got the camera an old sony alpha a69 I came to youtube and found you... Guess what??? You taught me how to take pictures, every picture I take I dedicat to you ^_^ thank you so so so much!

Congratulations on getting your new camera. I moved from Nikon to Canon earlier this year and just purchased the R6, but I love Nikon colors. I hope you enjoy the Z7 though it is a great camera.

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one struggling with food and the orange and yellows from my Canon camera... That's the main reason I switched over to Fuji and I'm really loving it.

Would love to see another video down the track to see how the Nikon life goes. Great BTS. Thanks for sharing as always :)

Welcome fellow Nikonian! Wise choice. I do own the Z6 and Z7 (having traded in the 750 and D850). Shooting Nikon since 2010, and the ergonomics, menu systems, handling..... What can I say!!! Happy shooting and may all of your shots be in focus!

Hello! I found your channel a couple of days ago and it has opened me to trying food photography :) Currently shooting with the 5D4 + Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens (its a BEAST) 😆 Good luck and stay safe :)

Welcome to the Z family from a 2-year Z7 user! You’ll also love the focus stacking function.

This is not only a great lesson in "light n airy", which I will be trying my shots are all too dark. It is also a great lesson in hardware,, both the scrim and how to properly choose a new camera. Not to mention a clever lesson in how to subtlety add value to your channel and social media through references. Fantastic to watch. Sincere and honest, loved it

Hi Joanie! Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing so many things about food photography, so inspiring, I learned a lot from your videos. From this behind the scene, I have a question, what do you use for the light source? Is it only with an external flash? Or do you combined with continuous light? Thank you so much..

Joanie, I love all your video, you are truly a master! I am enrolled in your lighting course too and it was so helpful. But what I really want to know is what is the copperish eyeshadow you have on your gorgeous eyes? It's like your trademark, has anyone asked you before?

i would love to see how you style and photograph fried eggs...they are so hard to make look perfect

I am with you about using Nikon. If you get to master their cameras it will show the quality of the photos. Love your videos!

@@TheBiteShot I actually like Nikon even though I'm known for being a Canon fanboy. I'm getting older and the heavy DSLR's where taking a toll on me and since I 'm no longer doing events or travel tours a smaller camera just made more sense. Who knows I may get another Nikon camera some day the new Z line is nice I like their big camera mount.

I'm trying to shoot a photo for a company that manufactures natural disposable plates and I wanted the shot to have some food in it How do I shoot it without the food being a distraction

Do you ever stack photos?

Did you try out the Canon R5?

Canon is a little warmer in color and matches skin color very close, other cameras Nikon & Fuji are a little cooler. Kodak users liked warm tones and Fuji like it more cooler. All this is as you mentioned according to taste. Good Luck with Nikon all are good cameras .

Joanie, do you like the scrim better than the diffusion paper? Or apples and oranges?

@TheBiteShot

3 жыл бұрын

I use them interchangably. I had bought the scrim frame several years ago and had forgotten about it. The nice thing on this is that you can switch the diffusion with velcro so can go from hard to soft pretty easy. The rolls also move around if there's a fan going, so not so helpful if you're doing stop motion and need everything to stay exactly still for continuity :)

Another Nikon guy here, clarity of lenses and color reproduction is key for me. Waiting on the announcement also, in hopes of a Z7 with dual card slot or the D880 DSLR, not 100% convinced on mirrorless. Have the D500, phenomenal camera, and the D850, even better. Have too much invested in lenses to re-purchase, although there is a converter.

Yep. I've got a big shoot for an important client starting this next week so I wanted to get the Z7 in time for that and to get comfortable with it. From the rumors I've heard the new improvements are related to things that wouldn't apply for someone like me shooting stills tethered in studio. But, we shall see...always a game of chasing the latests and greatest :)

Hi Mahir! Great questions. My existing gear I will keep for sure, especially as an educator it's nice to have the different brands to reference in classes. I also own a Sony :) For the USB and HDMI at the same time, I haven't tried that yet. What would be the application for using both?

@MahirAliAhmed

The Bite Shot, if both are working we can use HDMI to external monitor and usb to tethering software, yes I know C1 provide that but still there are some specific application where it can be used

Congratulations for the Z7! Two questions here For the light and airy vibe, do you overexpose some part of the scene? Second, have you used a fill card or light?

@TheBiteShot

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! In this scene there wasn't a fill card as I was getting enough fill popping up from the surface. Too many fill cards and photos start to look flat because of too much light from all directions. And if I'm working for print, I don't overexpose as overexposed areas don't print well. But, for Instagram and such as long as the subject isn't blown out, I don't worry as much.
