Pick up my favorite citrus peeler here (ideal for making cocktail garnishes and creating zest shots): amzn.to/3bBFynG
And as always, let me know in the comments if you have any questions or if I can help at all!
Awesome!!! Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you so much for sharing!
Sure thing!
Thank you for the step by step walkthrough! Nailed this on the first try thanks to you. Much appreciated!
Amazing video, very well explained, thank you.
I hope you will make another one using just natural light
Thanks for sharing! Had no idea you had a youtube channel. Doing this on my next client shoot! Cheers
This is great. I've got a couple of shoots coming up, including beverage shots. It'll be fun to try this out.
Would love to see what you end up capturing!
Great stuff
Thank you Jordan!!! Time to go to the market for some lemons and oranges!
Haha can't wait to see what you capture!
Awesome! Thanks for the clear step by step! I'm just starting flash photography from your course, so this is very fun! I'm curious as to why 1/125 camera shutter speed? What's the lowest shutter speed you would go to capture the quick zest? and why not go to the highest sync allowed? Thanks!
Whether it's 1/250 or 1/30 it wouldn't make any difference. The shot would still be sharp. When using flash, the flash essentially becomes your shutter. The shutter speed on your camera becomes the "dial" for how much ambient light you let into the exposure. Since it's very dark in my garage, I was very easily removing all ambient light from the final exposure. So the lowest shutter speed possible would be the lowest shutter speed that doesn't allow any ambient light in. Does that make sense?
@@cocktailcamera ah makes sense! thanks for the clear explanation!
this is awesome! question if we use one light set up behind the glass, should we use a soft box or not on it? thanks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Great stuff Jordan! One question..you have both hands busy squeezing the peel, so how do you wirelessly trigger the light with the remote control? Thanks !
Yeah I had my camera set to a timer. So I used the remote to set focus and trigger the time, then I would set it down so I could express the peel before the shutter fired.
That lens is not a Macro lens...
Not exclusively, no (is that even a thing anyway? Nearly all macro lenses can be used differently). But it has outstanding macro capability.
@@cocktailcamera I tought the 90mm 2.8 is a Macro.
@@ilovehotels5001 it is, but I'm not using that one here
@@cocktailcamera Yeah but you're saying "a 100mm macro lens" That G master is not a macro lens.
@@ilovehotels5001 yes, and it functions as a macro lens. You're splitting a hair that does not need to be split.
