EPIC NYC ROOFTOP BTS W/ NEW SONY FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II

Hello everyone! Today, I have a super cool video for you- I got to test out a brand-new Sony release- a FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II lens. Not only that, but I got to shoot with it in the most epic location in New York.
My first impression of the 70-200 f/4 G lens was that it was very light and compact in comparison to its predecessors, which is a big deal for me, considering I constantly travel with my gear so portability is extremely important to me. I was really excited to play around with the f/4 and see what kind of bokeh I can achieve as well as test the out the focus as I heard it was meant to be extremely fast.
I shoot a lot of fashion and swimwear and in my work I use two focal lengths - 24-70 and a 70-200. As I mentioned, because of the nature of my job and luggage restrictions I love to keep it minimal and those two cover me for any scenarios. recently I’ve been reaching for the 70-200 a lot more as I started gravitating towards more backlit, closeup shots in my portraiture and I find the 70-200 always delivers the most beautiful results that offer great background separation from my subject as well.
I got to take some of my favorite photos with the 70-200 f/4. I organised a photoshoot on one of the best rooftops I found in New York and it was truly an incredible experience. I was so impressed with how efficient the focusing system was, it didn’t miss a beat. I got to play with different focal lengths too and got the most gorgeous buttery background compression in the closet up portraits.
I think the f/4 is a great option for anyone who’s looking to either add a 70-200 lens into their kit or even upgrade their existing one without breaking the bank. Shooting at f/4 allows for more background to be incorporated into the shot which I personally find very visually appealing. What I do love about this lens is also that you still get a lot of background compression and beautiful bokeh even at f6.3 if shooting on 130mm and up so you’re not really missing out on anything!
Overall i would highly recommend the 70-200 f/4, especially if you’re looking for something a bit more budget friendly as the lens sits at $1700. The lens compact, the focus is extremely fast and accurate and the image quality is one of the best I’ve seen.

Hopefully beyond the ledges there was a short drop out of sight so it looks death defying but actually isn't. I hope so! The photos were amazing and the BTS person did a great job!

[@nestorpool]

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on this fantastic project. Looking forward to more. BTW these photos came out soooo good.

[@darwin-nunez]

You killed this video ! Great Job

[@sadowskaphoto]

You did such an amazing job Nestor! Thank you for working on this with me 🫶🏼

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 You put in work on the BTS. Clean and smooth.

[@nestorpool]

@@sadowskaphoto My pleasure! 🙏🏾

[@EdwardBliffin]

The Photos and the scenery is Magnificant, but that B-roll *chefs kiss*, it makes me want to do video more often

[@darrenleigh201]

Great shots in a cool location. The cinematography @11:10 was killer. Thanks for sharing!

[@sanbaersch9612]

What a stunning location, love to see you two fearless ladies and thanks for letting me see you working and experience so many details. I really like your rooftop shoots.

[@808islandlife_HI]

Breath taking photoshoot - literally and figuratively!

[@johnoldham30]

Anita, incredible photos ... I think I fell over the ledge several times. Outstanding Job!!! I enjoy learning about your process and what it is you're trying to accomplish. 😃😃😃

[@1964ilovebears]

I feel vertigo watching those pictures !!!. Amazing photos !!!

[@KainzMusic]

I'll stand on the ground and take pics of trees and grass and stuff. You're braver than I!

[@LegacyVisualMedia]

Such a great tutorial and amazingly edited! Loved it! Thank you for this!!

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thank you so much!!

[@sunilkapoor4375]

Not only epic it's daring photoshoot.....a prefect combination of Anita & elegant model👏

[@sadowskaphoto]

Haha thank you!!

[@omniconcepts_7275]

A very adventurous location indeed especially on the edges. Great shots, attire, compositions, and posing.

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

[@omniconcepts_7275]

You are welcome stunt lady.🙂

[@bts_fan_rkive]

As always please be safe when going to locations other photographers might not be that stable.

[@wearetrackclub]

Your dedication to getting the perfect shot is amazing! Love how you put this BTS together 👏

[@michaelj7069]

Holy freaking awesome. This is one of best shoots I've seen of yours. No wonder you were so excited. 🥰🥰🥰 Only issue I had was with the heights. I get freaked out even for others. LOL

[@islalamuerte7378]

Amazing shoot! Beautiful location and video quality. The model is absolutely beautiful, her face and eyes, just stunning!

[@josephchan4198]

Love the video. Great work by you and your team.

[@DavePruett]

Great location, beautiful model, and an amazing shoot. Loved the shots where you were laying down. Have to do that and grab a quick nap! 😀

[@eNeVeFamily]

Wow those shots and scenery were breath taking.

[@gregap8282]

The photo on the right at 10:28 is just breathtakingly beautiful. A photo I would buy and hang on my wall.

[@ChrrZ]

amazing pictures and location! just wow!!!! thanks for putting the link to the location into the description!

[@kh1188ish]

Amazing!!! While you were at the edge of the parapet my stomach was doing backflips, but still amazing.

[@AngelBarclay]

The photos are phenomenal! I loved how you tested the 70-200mm lens with different looks! I really enjoyed the intro and the way the videos that showcase the looks was edited and color graded, definitely matched the location! 🫶🏻

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thank you so much!!

[@andresrojasrojas5629]

Increíble !!

[@happyjackphoto]

this was so cool. great shoot. Made me twitch a little though

[@trudyshiree]

I love that you gave the model feedback. Nothing is worse when your getting your photo taken and the photographer is quite 😅

[@robroy6374]

???

[@eksmaan]

Soooooooo gooooooood!

[@kanelife8349]

Great work plus it takes heart shooting on the rooftop 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@dennishumbla5431]

Wow amazing photos, I would have been terrified of the hights up there 😮. But wow the images🙌

[@darrengeorge1396]

🔥🔥

[@marquisecarter1906]

Straight up 🔥🔥🔥🔥!

[@rbj.photography]

This was an awesome shoot. Definitely, took some really dangerous risks, but it turned out great the pictures are freaking awesome! Especially happy that noone was seriously injured. Some parts I couldn't watch LOL.

[@EmpoweredForPurpose]

This video had me terrified!! But, it’s a great video and review!! Picture🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@freddyfpa3331]

Anita as always at a very ''high'' photographic level. greetins from Brazil!!

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thank you!!

[@nairda13]

Wow intro video is fire. Anita love your work❤❤

[@1209jayt]

Thanks for sharing! Great shots and a cool location. Where is that in NYC, can I go up there too? What do u use for your external camera screen, that looks cool.

[@zanetalenart3461]

Amazing !!

[@CVEXPLORES]

The grade on this video is so nice

[@nestorpool]

Thank you!

[@santanuc9298]

Great shots & cool location!! wondering what lens and camera were used to shoot the location video footages?

[@CarlosDavidFoto]

Epic shoot btw 👏

[@amadukamara9606]

Amazing video !❤

[@g_pressley]

These look great Anita

[@pty_foto]

I suffer vertigo so is literally impossible for me to do a shoot like that.. frankly is not only the best review of that lens but your taste and flow to produce such artful imagery is the best. Best regards from Panama 🇵🇦

[@DuopolyJul]

Wow! I would give a hundred thumbs up if I could for the effort to get the shots. Beautiful imagery! I am scared watching the video because of the heights and the model and photographer being so close to the edge of the building. It's a Clift hanger. Job well done!

[@oOLurenkillOo]

❤

[@grzegorzkrajewski1095]

Gratuluję odwagi na brzegach tych dachów :)

[@king4lifemedia97]

Amazing video ❤

[@yusei151]

this gave me so much anxiety. I am definitely thinking I will invest in this lens though, it looks so freaking amazing

[@sadowskaphoto]

It’s so good! 100% recommend!

[@jeromeh3605]

Great location for a shoot. Love Manhattan.

[@strippedlist]

Anita question, when you use the Atomos screen , can you turn off the back screen of the camera and the evf ? to preserve battery, Atomos runs on his own battery anyway

[@MichaelHodge]

Lovely work as always. Some memories are worth paying for. T.Y.

[@doctorstrobe]

Shit, you're a Jedi Master! These are awesome.

[@hectorsantiago8221]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 now I want to go to NYC! 😂

[@JRStarkey]

Great images but terrifying to watch. It would help if you did a tutorial on liability waivers because after seeing all that, I know it's airtight, lol

[@who_is_dis]

Some of those frames that videographer was getting were better 😂

[@sadowskaphoto]

Nestor is very talented, he's got an amazing eye :)

[@dekanphotograph831]

How you set your white balance on 7r iv? It look perfect

[@matthewwatt3650]

My god that location is insane!!

[@matthewwatt3650]

Props to you and your videographer also

[@Lytemotiv]

which monitor is on your camera>? nice setup!!

[@darwin-nunez]

Amazing video

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thanks!!

[@dars1311]

Stunning shoot but my fear of heights made this an uncomfortable watch.

[@stkuj]

I'm getting a bit nervous watching this!

[@ruff1draft]

Anita I do love this whole video. And F4 is always good. What camera was filming you while you where taking the photographs

[@nestorpool]

Hey, for this BTS, I used the Sony FX3.

[@ruff1draft]

@@nestorpool Why thank you for the information

[@ginatenhoope9574]

Omg I’m getting so much anxiety from these heights😅 and I’m not even there.

[@PhotoTrekr]

Ok, I'm not doing that. Triggers my fear of heights just watching you stand on the edge. But, got to give you credit for shooting on the rooftop. The model is very brave too. I've preordered the 70-200mm G II and hopefully it will arrive before my next trip in September. Along with the 20-70mm G, they will be my new travel lenses.

[@thirtyyearcosmetologist]

This was so hard to watch because I am afraid of heights! These photos are🔥. You might know how to shoot but it’s not enough if who you shot isn’t right!

[@michaeledwards1027]

I love your work and videos. But could you leave the information on a couple of seconds longer. Especially when you have a side by side comparison. Thank you.

[@Slattwilliams]

where is this located in Manhattan that's my only question besides that great video. You mentioned its on peer space can you post the link.

[@sadowskaphoto]

I linked the exact listing in the description:)

[@CarlosDavidFoto]

You have to try the 24-120 / 24-105s use it 80% of the time

[@NileSWPhotography]

Ain’t no way I’m risking my equipment on a thin rooftop ledge like that for KZbin 😂 sorry

[@robroy6374]

😂

[@destorpwnz]

so fuken gorgeous model!

[@blackiconstudios]

The shots🤎🤎🔥

[@Telly26]

Awesome pictures, however, this shoot is giving me anxiety with the photog and model literally living on the edge. Fantastic results, it's just too much for my heart rate.

[@MichealSeaghdha]

Very difficult to watch, but your imagination, flair, calmness and clarity resulted in a stunning collection of images. Many congratulations.

[@freddyalways1991]

Can you just jump off a little? 😂

[@sherriburns9746]

Please no more death defying photo shoot 🤦🏻‍♀️ awesome pictures but no just no😬

[@Edwin1947D]

Sorry - but I just think this type of shoot is irresponsible - one or both of you could easily have been seriously injured in a fall. Not worth taking or assuming such risks regardless of how good the images turned out - both of you are worth more than a collection of images. Very thankful that it all ended well but safety should be the top priority.

[@mtbboy1993]

My thoughts exactly.

[@robroy6374]

no only that, but shes barefoot (why???)

[@Separade]

Open your eyes and you can see the roof had another floor under the edge she was posing on. Classical internet.

[@Edwin1947D]

@@Separade I will stick with my original assessment- I did see that lower ledge, which might or might not break a further fall. This is like the trend of people posing on railroad tracks claiming it is perfectly safe as they were listening for trains.

[@Edwin1947D]

@@Separade Also look at 9:30 into the video where the model is asked if she can sit up on the ledge - she looks down but then the suggestion is “don’t look down.”

[@strippedlist]

Anita, for me you are like Keanu Reeves for women....

[@sadowskaphoto]

Hahaha thank you!

[@hogg1media627]

This is so extreme... smh...

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

Safe comes first and what you are doing is not safe.

[@superdonk9891]

ink alarm!!! move on ;/

[@sadowskaphoto]

Huh

[@robroy6374]

why take off your shoes? at around 10:00, she says "ow my feet". well its no wonder...you took your shoes off for no reason. 🤦‍♂️🙄

[@artmaltman]

Sad. Please don’t encourage such reckless behavior.

[@macjba3005]

No todo vale para tener visitas. Me parece muy estupido correr y hacer correr riesgos a alguien para obtener unas fotos o visitas al vídeo.

[@marvintarara7257]

Amazing!!

[@sadowskaphoto]

Thanks!!
