Quick question........why were you at iso 640 with shutter speed 1/5000th......why not iso 100 and 1/800th....that's fast enough shutter speed to capture a basketball game....
I have watched videos of weddings over the years and I will have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of photos you take. Generally the brides dress is blown out and lacking any detail and your shots are all very well done and the skin tones are also very good. GREAT JOB!!!
You are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL at Wedding Photography! I shoot with Z62 & Z7 with all the same lenses you use except for the 35mm & 85mm. I plan on buying those asap but don't have them yet. I do also have the 14-24mm f2.8s & 24-70mm f2.8s Lenses. I wish I could shoot 2nd camera for you sometime. I've been shooting weddings for 8yrs off and on but I feel I would get much better shooting with someone with your "eye" for composition. I am sure you are too busy and already have a 2nd shooter but I'd shoot with you for free just to pick my wedding photography game up a notch. Seeing those Mossy Oak trees make me think you are from Georgia or Alabama or South Carolina. I live in Tennessee and would be willing to drive if you EVER needed a 2nd or 3rd shooter. I'd be happy to show you my Portfolio. I didn't intend this comment to go this direction but when I started typing it just landed here. LoL.. Anyway..... Great work and keep it up!!
Wow thank you for such a nice comment!! You can email me at hello@jennifernicole.net I would love to take a look at your portfolio. You guessed correctly-I am in South Carolina!!! I also do mentorships one on one and I will supply the model if you’re ever interested in that.
Dear Jennifer, yes I admit it’s not obvious to everyone, but the lens hood is actually provided for a reason, and you *are* supposed to use it, not keep it on the lens in storage position...
I’m you, in NJ, and I go Z7 II + Z6 II and we basically have all of the same lenses. The only difference is that I use the 24-70mm f/2.8S and I don’t have the 50mm f/1.8S. Is the 50mm really something I should look into? If so, I’d rather have the flexibility of the 1.2 instead of 1.8.
I shoot weddings, as well and yes, you’re always on AF-C but with group/crowd shots, you want to use the Wide-L with face and eye detection, not Full Area AF with face and eye; that’s for solo or couple’s portraits.
Nicole I came upon your channel by happenstance, and wow, talk about detail. there are people who make like a creator series and then charge a lot of money for this kind of informative video. so nice to see your thought process... the whole style exudes experience. even though our weddings are culturally different, a lot of what you said applies here in 🇧🇷 .. much appreciation from a new fan! cheers. .. subbing
Hi Jennifer - when shooting the formals after wedding you were using 85mm at F2.2 and wanted to know how you got everyone in focus at the ends? Wouldn't you want to bring the F stop up to 6 pro 8?
I would be somewhere between 1.4 and 3.2, so yes I likely was at 2.2. As long as everyone is on the same focal plane they should be in focus. I will shoot f8 only if there are 2 lines or more of people. Otherwise I want to keep the background as blurry as possible.
Very nice Video, similar oes from Taylor Jackson made me follow him. Just out of curiosity, isnt the z6 better than z5? And do you notice big diffrence with the z6ii compared to the z6? I use the z6 and do sometimes struggle a little bit because I am not fast enough to change my af settings. However the new firmware update makes a big diffrence for shooting people. Thanks again for your Video, looking foeward seing your first wedding with the z9;)
It depends on if the subject is moving or if it’s backlit. With both of those scenarios I do. If they’re just standing there posing it’s about the same.
Thanks Jennifer! btw could you make a video compare the depth of field difference between 85 1.8s and the MC 105? Really want to know what are the advantages for both of them and whether I need to have both of them. They are definitely similar in some sense
I purchased Nikon Z5 couple months ago and I am not happy at all, the pictures are very blurry and it does not take the pictures the way I like 😒 I went to vacations for 2-times and I did not come back home with perfect photos 😒😒
