Cosplay Photographer Garden Interview Video

We recently had a moderately sized meetup at a local garden. One of the photographers there also does videography and decided to put together a video featuring all of the photographers at the event. 

The videographer is Charles R. and he goes by the handle “Hikikomorisama.” You can see more of his video work here. 

EDIT: On the off chance cosplayers or photographers see this... know that you need permission, likely in the form of paid access to the garden. Especially true with a group. Over the years they had issues with this, so please respect the garden and its staff if you consider visiting with the intent of photography. 

I was interviewed in the video. 

Here is the photographer interview on Youtube:

Video created by Hikikomorisama.

I’m featured around the 1 minute mark (direct link to that time here).

Well done! I’ve tried a few convention scene related interviews in the past, but nothing with that level of production quality.

Nikon Z5ii Announced and My Thoughts vs the Original Z5

The Nikon Z5ii was announced recently. I haven't actually used this new camera myself, so keep that in mind. This is going to be mostly me looking at the specs and comparing it to the original Nikon Z5, which I've been using for a few years now. Check out the full video on YouTube:   The original Nikon Z5 camera. Overall, the original Z5 isn't a bad camera. I've gotten it to a point where it works how I want it to and it's reliable for what I do.  My main use case is often anime and comic conventions, going there and taking photos of people in cosplay. I usually use the 40mm f/2 lens on the Z5, and it works well for that.  First-person view using the Nikon Z5 at an anime convention. Nikon Z5ii vs Z5: The Spec Sheet Comparison  Nikon has a handy comparison section on their Z5ii page, so let's break down some key differences based on that and my experience with the original. Nikon's website comparing the Z5ii and the original Z5 specifications. First up, the ...

7Artisans 50mm f/1.8 for Nikon Z-mount Overview

In this overview, I'm taking a look at the 7Artisans 50mm f/1.8 lens for the Nikon Z system. Is it worth considering over the official Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8s lens? I also compare it with the Nikon Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 kit lens at 50mm.  Check out the full video on YouTube :  7Artisans sent me this lens to try out based on my  collaboration terms . They had no say in the content produced and were not allowed to preview it.  Build Quality & Handling 7Artisans and Nikon lens side-by-side. The 7Artisans 50mm f/1.8 is similar in size to Nikon's 50mm f/1.8s, although it's slightly taller and a bit thinner. Both lenses feature a manual/auto focus switch, but I found that the one on the 7Artisans lens requires less travel and is easier to push, which isn't ideal. You might accidentally switch modes while handling the lens. Something I found myself doing a couple of times on my photowalk. The AF/MF switch and aperture adjustment ring. The manual focus ring on the 7Artisans lens...

EF-M Sigma 56mm vs. Viltrox 56mm

I was curious how the two native Canon EF-M 56mm f/1.4 lenses compared. Is one better in image quality or features than the other? At least right now there is a significant price difference between the two.
