Kind of a boring video, but I wanted to play with the insta 360 camera as I went out and got some nature shots :)

Nikon was having a sale and the Z6iii was at the lowest price ive seen, even lower than some used listings. So, I got one! Thank you Roberts Camera !

It's been so nice out that I hit up Toledo Botanical Garden to unplug and slow down.

The Z6iii has a new feature that im falling in love with, "focus shift shooting". It will automatically shift the focus so later you can stack focused images together in Photoshop for a deeper depth of field, more is in focus!

I learned a lot, mostly that its extremely important that nothing moves, and stacking doesn't handle heavy depth subjects like pine needles.

Not all of these were stacked, and I'm experimenting with editing styles (adjusting the calibration tab in Lightroom) but, I had a great time 😀

(Using the Tamron 90mm Macro)

Here are some of my faves from the shoot with Hanna Gerlica, thank you, Hanna! These turned out great.

The primary reason for this shoot was the last sequence of photos. Its and example of the Creative Mask mode in Westcott strobes, where I got all those different looks in like 5 seconds. I'm teaching a class on that feature in a month or so and needed to practice and get some examples.

Some portraits from my class at CameraMall !
Two FJ250s, Joel Grimes Beauty Dish on the key light and a 1x3 strip with a purple gel on the background/edge light. We had a lot of natural light in the room, and the purple faded into a nice blue tone on the other side.

Some portraits from a couple of shooting bays I set up at Photocon Kansas City. It was such a great event!

A little while ago, Toledo Talent had an amazing photo mixer! The models and the sets were great! Finally, taking a moment to post some photos lol
I took this opportunity to edit a little differently; on most of these, I tried my hand at some color grading. I usually go for realisitc color but this was a fun creative outlet for something different.
All taken with the Nikon z6ii, and a Tamron 28-75mm or 16-30mm and lit with the Westcott L120 with a Joel Grimes Buty dish and/or 1x3 strip and/or Ice Light 3
