I just did my first large wedding with a d600/d750 and I'm sold on getting a Z6 + 35/50/85 or maybe switching the 50 for a 24-70 f4 for events. PS Your videos were a big help in making me feel confident that I could transfer my event photography skillset to weddings. Kudos.
Cole Breiland so your saying that you would prefer the z6 over the D750 for weddings? I really wanted the D750 but if the z6 is better than I’ll get that instead.
Nice gig and execution. I have traveled a lot, 91 countries but 20 years ago moved from the US to a beautiful that highest north of any large city so in the summer, White Nights, the sun only goes down from 02:00 and up again at 04:30 but never really gets dark so getting up at 4 gives a few hours of great light, no cars and people in the iconic travel poster scenes. The cars become a problem by 07:30. That gives me 4 hours of great scenes. Here, it is easier to get people to stay out all night for the shoot than get up early. The main streets and sidewalks are filled it people moving between one club or restaurant to another but you know where they are going to be, so go where they aren't. Rome is interesting but only on rainy cold days since it is ruined by millions of tourists. Same with Paris, the last time either had reasonable tourist density was in the mid-60s. Here in StPetersburg, the summers are dense with tourists in the main historic center but the rest of the year it is relaxed, fun and beautiful. It is not only beautiful but very social and open with refined culture. The 50 1.8 S is the sharpest lens, corner to corner I have ever used and that is a lot of lenses I have used and owned. I have the 35 but use it a lot less. I am waiting for the 70-200 2.8 S and 85 1.8 S, both should be shipping this fall but the 85 will be in stores first. The 24-70 f/ 4 will have to due for awhile since my lens fund can't get the 70-200 and 24-70 2.8 and still add a Z7. I got a Z7 first but wanted the 6 which was not out yet. The store was ok with the plan to trade it back in when the first Z6 became available. I had the D850 and D800 so really did not need the large files but really could use the excellent low light performance of the Z6 that was going to be the travel and second camera on shoots. After using the Z7 then 6, my plan blow up....the DSLRs sat on the shelf and I started doing everything with the Z6. Overall, my shot rate went way down and my keeper rate went way up. No need for safeties or bracketing or chimping and knowing the exposure and precise framing before releasing the shutter really is a use changing concept. The Z mount lenses are great, everyone one I have used is really good. The only F lenses I have used lately is the 85 1.4G but more often the 1,8G since it is a perfect size and almost as good. I expect the S 1.8 to be the best 85 Nikon or possibly any make, available. The FTZ works well but the chatter from G lenses with VR or just continuous focus motor activity bugs me.
Sorry, what white balance did you choose? Because I saw the soocs warmer than the real ambient light. Did you select white balance "shadows" or which one? Thanks
They didn't invent paper. That was done in Eygpt where they wrote on papyrus. Greeks, Romans, and Italian adopted it after. Just saying. I really like your channel where you show how great the New Nikon gear shines in a real-world engagement. Keep Rocking
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto How much direction did you need to offer? They seemed to be naturals and her long slim features just looks so feminine in every frame because she bends and flexes every joint as if she had model training. Also, what was your working distance? You did not seem to be talking loudly but apparently close enough for them to hear clearly. It is hard to tell the distance with that very wide field of view of the video.
I’m just wondering how your able to use 1.8 and still get both of the couple in focus. I tried doing that a few weeks ago but was only able to get one face at a time
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Ok. I only use BBF and put it on the AF-on button. It will only focus if I press the button, but not lock the AF. Taylor, doesn't you trust the Eye-AF at this moment?
Taylor Jackson If i may, have a question about shot at 4:29 i always was told not to crop hands... what are your thoughts on that matter. Ofcourse thanks for vid, there was some great ideas to take. Keep up the good work for public :D :D

Can you do a video on Photoshop batch export 98%? I did not understand that very well

Love to watch the Z6 photo shooting
Love your vids! I find them very educational. I’m starting my journey attempting to get into the wedding scene
08:28 damn, you nailed it (as always).
These two were so easy to work with haha. They are the hero’s here

I used one and honestly stunning to use. The video was stunning , yea I only used a 50mm Lens but worked like a dream
For short shoots, should we charge by the hour still or just have package options for the amount of photos?
Definitely love this BTS type video. Wanna get into doing my own. Good inspiration man!
Sorry, what white balance did you choose? Because I saw the soocs warmer than the real ambient light. Did you select white balance "shadows" or which one? Thanks
Thankyou So much for showing us pre edit so we can see the difference

Yay, the good 'ole image size trick is back ;)
Nice! Can you make a video going over your gopro set up for these types of videos?
This is the insta 360one x!
Where is the GoPro that you’re recording the shoot positioned? I notice it pans squarely to the top of camera when shooting
Great video Taylor! I like the behind the scene look you did, and I'd like to try something similar. Did you use a simple go-pro set up?
The girl in this shoot is the real mvp! Such great, diverse, natural poses
Agreed.
Do you use the z6 for weddings? If not what is your go too?
Thanks for the great video as usual. What a photogenic couple, seriously....
I need to make a sub video for couples on how to pose yourself based on everything they did.

A PRO ! Knowing is King .... great Done ✅☯️⭕️👌🏾
Awesome bts!! Where did you mount the 360 camera?
I really like Nikkor Z. I will Buy Z6II with the 24-70 f4 kit. Upgrade from D750. Hope I will love it :D
Nice Vid and chanel Jack
did you use face/eye auto focus?
Nope. Single point af c. I find eye challenging with 2 people. Face is fine, but it’s just as easy afc since I’m used to it
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto yep I'm AF-C BB focus - center point recompose both for video and stills with a D750.
ISO 50 on the Z6? Isn't it better at 100? I mean 50 is extended iso range so I never use it... Any advantages..?
I’m always wide open so I just leave it as low as I can
Could talk about what your settings are and focus modes for the z6
Just AFC single point. Same as I’d shoot with my D850
Shots looked great SOOC.
I’m just wondering how your able to use 1.8 and still get both of the couple in focus. I tried doing that a few weeks ago but was only able to get one face at a time
Faces just have to be on the same focus plane
How awesome! So....how many pics did you take total in this set? Just curious...…….. =)
About 500 I think
Love the street photography
Very beautiful photos
Noticed you used ISO 50. What’s the motivation for not going for native 100 on Z6?
I don’t think it matters at all
Thanks for the reply. I’m going to give it a go on my next outing…
@@JPStaats I have the same question haha
Why are the edited photos slightly shrink?
98% width export
So interesting seeing how other photographers take images.
Great video! I saw u use BBF? Eye-AF + AF-C too? Thanks for your answer :)
Just single point af c. No back button focus. Back button locks focus
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Ok. I only use BBF and put it on the AF-on button. It will only focus if I press the button, but not lock the AF. Taylor, doesn't you trust the Eye-AF at this moment?
Absolutely beautiful!
love it, thanks!
How do you handle with backup with only 1 card slot?
I don’t shoot weddings and un replaceable moments with it
Are you using the eye focus?
Nope
did like billion photos and only came up with those????
white balance sir ?
Usually shade
Why shooting at 50 and not native?
It doesn’t matter
Hope I win really coukd use thos phones
Taylor Jackson If i may, have a question about shot at 4:29 i always was told not to crop hands... what are your thoughts on that matter. Ofcourse thanks for vid, there was some great ideas to take. Keep up the good work for public :D :D
I don’t think most rules matter as long as the couple looks good
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto thnks man for replay :)
Amazing :)
Nice
