I don't think I will try this but I really enjoy these sorts of "how to" videos! Thanks!
Thank you Nicole, very useful video. Congrats!
Nicole, this is a very interesting how – to video. Your explanations are clear and easy to follow. I have to try it pretty soon, as it will give me another "qiver in my arsenal."
Very cool. Great solution to a melting problem – very realistic.
Thank you for this video!! Great idea, I struggle with melting ice cream when taking pictures. I will definitely try this, as I create a lot of ice cream recipes
Nice!
I have never tried Food Photography but I used to do macro work back in the 70's.
One for example was a fluted glass of seltzer with a cherry sitting on the bottom,
encased in bubbles from the seltzer.
Back in the film days, their was a lot of trial and error to get those kind of shots.
I used a Nikon F2 Photomic which allowed me to do multi-exposure shots on some
of my work. Lighting the shots was another challenge.
I'm really dating myself, aren't I !
I always enjoyed pushing the limits, tri-colour photography, zoom in/out photography etc.
Thank you for making the Fake Ice Cream video and I love your hair!
Rick
Fun!
Nicole, enjoyed watching this video. I don't do food photography but am fascinated with the process. I would like to see a video on how you did the two pieces of french toast with the syrup. Did you use real syrup? would like to see a step by step on how you did that image. Also in a blog you mentioned that you have gotten into water drop photography and mentioned you use a trap device. I couldn't find it and would like to see a video on how you do the photography for water drops and equipment. by the way, love the hair color tips. Very chic.
I love to watch this video because you have very nice and clear voice.
Very informative video. I'll have to give it a try in the future.
Well done — easy to follow. Made me hungry!
What fun! This is a very different photo based video from any others I have ever watched. Thank you. I kept thinking how much fun this would be to do when my grandkids are around and we could make the ice cream and plan the shoot together. Thank you so much. And keep these videos coming.
Pretty wild. Made we want to head to the freezer for some real icecream. Well done.
That was awesome!
Awesome video. Thanks Nicole. But now I gotta get me some real ice cream!
What a lovely and thorough walkthrough! Must have more!
More videos like this!! Great video, keep it up!!
thanks Nicole!
Love it!! You covered everything. Lovely explanation
