Nikon D610 does full & crop.
You mention the 50mm f1.4, but I have the 50mm f1.8, what's the bigger differencethat could effect the pic?
What flashes do you have on the table there?!
Great stuff! What is the light you talked about? The small led
+ Cole's Classroom can you please give me the name and place to get that large bounce card from and thanks for a great video and wedding photography it was very helpful and EAZY to understand again THANKS
Hi Cole, appreciate the video. like you I enjoy using the nikon 85 f1.8g, and the 50 f1.4g, not d. I do use a mix of lenses like the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 vc and 24-70 f2.8 vc, and I really appreciate the quality of my photos using these. For a ring shot I love my Tokina 100mm lens. I also have the Tokina 12-24 f4 wide angle lens. for my camera's I use my nikon d7000, and d600. I'm thinking about the d800..nice reviews on it, and I've seen the picture quality. ..very nice. sorry I missed your class on light room. Next time.
I think the most important note is the source from where your gear comes from. I am not against renting of equipment or buying second hand but how those items were handled by the previous parties who rented it or the previous owners is in ambiguous. Also using other sources of peripherals like memory cards etc. For camera bodies that are bought directly from shops I am confident that I handled it well and don't need a spare backup unless you shoot with multiple lens setup for any one event.
hello i see you like Nikon but i was wondering if you could help me with a canon i just got the 7D Mark ii i got the 2 standard lenses and then bought a fancy one EF 24-105mm 1:4 L lens which i love im looking to get some great lenses for bird shooting (long range) and i would like one closer range for portraits and family evens that i shoot. Any ideas or help would be appreciated cause ill admit im overwhelmed
hi cole.. 35mm nikon lens i good enough for wedding photography even low lighting situation
Great video! Thanks
Hello! I have a Nikon d300 with VX 18-105mm lens and I want to upgrade those lens in order to obtain sharper images at weddings.Can you please help me with a piece of adive?Thanks!
On the 800 you can change it to DX mode I believe
Super
Hows 20 1.8g , 351.8g and 85 1.8g setup..?
I just got a Lumiquest 80-20 bouncer that I just brought, would you still suggest getting the flip it as well?
What kind of light stand of monopod do you use to support any off-camera flash if used at the reception?
Hi Cole are you still using flash even you are using prime during the wedding?
Can I choose Nikon 7000 For my Wedding Photography purpose ……..I was a beginner in wedding photography ….
Great video Cole . But can you do a video explaining what is better . Or explain . The nikon D800 aps mode vs Nikon TC-14E II (1.4x) Teleconverter ? Is this necessary considering the fact that you get exta reach with APS mode ? And also in FX mode you get higher resolution . So you can crop to get closer . So which is better ?
