Kudos to Ryan!! He did an awesome job on that backdrop!! Thanks for all your invaluable instruction, Joanie!!
Yesssss we love light and airy 😍😍😍
Great video! You are so easy to understand and listen to. I learn something so helpful with every video.
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)
I'm really thankful of this channel.
Always watching your videos, I need it a lot
Thank you Beth!!
Thank you! I love that you tell us all. the. details about each tool you use. :)
I love you❤️. Your each and every videos helped me a lot. I have learnt alot. Such an amazing lady with such a good explanation.
Congrats on the new camera, Joanie! I've always shot with Nikon and love the colors.
Congrats on your new camera Joanie. As always a great and informative video.
Going try out this lighting, thanks for posting and congrats on the Z7! Just purchased one myself and loving it!
Awesome! Thank you!
I am learning Jonnie :) Your videos are really helpful and I can see somewhat improvement in my photography too.
Thank you very good tips. I am a beginner and still learning, and your channel is fantastic 😍
So much fun! You are always on my mind in the food isles haha I’m like hmm Joanie would so shoot that or she has shot that! Haha I love it!
Im so exciteeeeeeeeeeed
Thanks so much for your help Joanie! I came across your channel trying to just up my thumbnail game for my youtube cooking channel and now I went down a rabbit hole ahhahaha.
Wow... I’m hooked!!
Very useful tips, thank you! And CONGRATS on your new camera. How exciting! :D
Thanks so much! 😊
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!
Such a helpful video - thanks so much for sharing
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 :)
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.
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!
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.
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
You are amazing ❤️
Would love to see another video down the track to see how the Nikon life goes. Great BTS. Thanks for sharing as always :)
For sure! Will do! Many more to come :)
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!
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.
Great camera. I've been using it for 6 months now, no regrets :-)
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.
Congrats on the new z7! I have a z6 and loving it, don't miss my old DSLR one bit. Nikon makes great glass, the new Z lenses are phenomenal.
Thank you!! Very excited about it and agree, it's a beautiful lens
This was a super fun vid. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
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
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Douglas Jude Instablaster :)
@@douglasjude714 no gpod asking here, try contacting insta. Or facebook. UA-cam is google owned
@Isaias Aries thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Isaias Aries It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
I did a lot of research too last December and purchased the Z6!!
That's awesome! How are you liking it?
I love pimento chhese and Nikon so this vlog was for me. Of course, I’m now going to the storevto buy pimento cheese and crackers.. Thanks, I always enjoy your content.
Ha ha ha!!! I love it! Yeah, ya can't beat pimento cheese!
Joanie, I love when you do these types of videos!! Do you have a link for that contraption on top of your camera trigger? I'm assuming it's a level, which I really need!
Yep! It's great for flat lay amzn.to/33nfYMJ
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?
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..
Congrats beautiful, Joanie! I also love the Nikon colors too over Canon's! Enjoy your new camera! I was checking out the Z6! Great choice! Quick question, which trigger are you using on your camera?
The Godox X2T. I shared about my trigger in last week's video, so check it out when ya get a chance.
i would love to see how you style and photograph fried eggs...they are so hard to make look perfect
Great pics, Joanie - and great video! Speaking of video, what’s your lighting setup when you’re filming yourself talking? Great lighting!
Thank you! It's the Aperture 300D with and using their Aputure light dome as a modifier. Great light for sure. Super happy with it.
@@TheBiteShot thanks! That was my guess but wanted to check! Looks great! Just rented that and a 300X (had to ship ‘em back yesterday) and was impressed with them!
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!
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 .
I'm glad this is not a gear-centric channel. That said, welcome to the Nikon family. :-)
Hi Jonie would you have a link to the level thingy ?
Etsy and Amazon😆
I love my new Sony a6600 for the Urban-Street photography I'm now doing now, its not perfect but its close enough.
I shot Nikon for years I had a D7000 which I shot so many photos with I wore it out.
That's amazing! Got your money's worth out of that one!!
@@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.
Congrats! Great camera choice. I'm a longtime Nikon shooter. You do know that Nikon is doing a new camera release 13 Oct? Waiting to see what they drop, I'm still using D800(which I love)
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 :)
@@TheBiteShot Yes, chasing, like waiting for the new flavor of cotton candy at the zoo when I was 6 :).
oh, don't get me wrong I have been drooling over the Z7. I'm pretty much a studio shooter as well, that is why I'm still using the D800. Have fun on that shoot. I know you will crush it :-)
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
How did you get the cheese so fluffy?
Another excellent video Joanie! 👏👏👏What is SD?
Thank you! SD..hmmm. Do you recall the context? Sometimes can mean Secure Digital when referring to SD memory cards
@@TheBiteShot Joanie! I’m sorry that I didn’t clarify that. At 2:41, you were talking about how you like to go to SD when you talked about the bowls that you used in the shot. You said you needed to stay away from SD because you spent too much money. 😂
Do you have a book? You should have a book. I need a book. Thank you in advance!
Stay tuned.... ;)
Did you try out the Canon R5?
Joanie, do you like the scrim better than the diffusion paper? Or apples and oranges?
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 :)
The Bite Shot Excellent points!! Thank you!
Great 👍 I
Do you mind to share what tethering software do you use for Nikon Camera?
Capture One
Do you ever stack photos?
Hi Joanie, Congrats, I have 2 questions for you 1) What will you do to the gear you have? 2) In nikon z7 can you use both USB and HDMI output at the same time. Regards
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?
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?
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.
@@TheBiteShot much appreciated!
hi Joanie why Z7 over R5?
Joanie's moved to the dark side!!!!!! It must be a Halloween conspiracy 🤪🤣😂
Ha ha ha!!!! Perfect for October!! lol!
It hadn't occurred to me that it was how the camera was processing colours! I fight with yellows and oranges a lot. I hate shooting with them cos they drive me mad 😅 man, wish I bought nikon from the start.
Hi Cheryl! For sure you can still take beautiful photos with other brands, so I don't want you to fret. But, perhaps at some point rent a Nikon and see. I think colors are experienced in a very personal way, so perhaps Nikon won't solve the problem either. Hugs
@@TheBiteShot Thanks Joanie! That's such a good point. Gonna have to test it out to know
So is there a 5D for sale now????
:) Nope, definitely hanging on to it. It's been my baby and a workhorse for three years. I feel like I have a personal relationship with that camera.
Congratulations on moving to Nikon and the mirrorless.....
I just love you style of presentation. No wonder you have 240K subscribers. But this time the light is bit too hard on you.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
I should have added that I am a Canon woman. Did you have to buy lots of new lenses? Not that I have anything against Nikon.
So far I can use the lenses I have for the Nikon D750 (50mm f1.8 and 105mm f2.8) and I bought the one new lens. I really only ever use two main lenses on my cameras anymore (24-70mm f2.8 and the 100mm f2.8)
I will be honest and say that I had to stick my fingers in my ears and go "la, la, la" until you mentioned the tethered bit. I can see why you made the change. Pity equipment is so expensive. Great video and as usual very helpful.
For sure :) I still absolutely advocate for Canon and will still recommend their cameras to photographers. They're all great cameras
Next year: Sony : )
You mentioned tax deduction?🤯 so anything I buy to photograph and cook for my blog I can write off for my tax deduction?
Caught that too....
If you're registered as a business and functioning as a business, then yep! Deductions are very important. But, that said, definitely seek out the advice of a tax professional to advise on your particular business, laws in your state / country as the nuances can be different. If your blog is not a hobby and it's a registered business and making enough money, deductions will be very helpful come tax time.
@@TheBiteShot oh, great! That is so good to know. And yes I am registered, just started a month ago so far I have no icome just spendings, that is insane thou! I hope things will get better.. thanks so kindly for the reply! I so love your videos💕💕
