I decided to take the Nikon D5 over to the FroFactory along with the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II and the massive 600mm F4 VR which is a $12,300 lens (Borrowed from BorrowLenses.com/fro)

Generally speaking you wouldn’t use a 600 F4 VR indoors for a portrait but I figured since I had it I might as well put it to use.

For this 5 Min Portrait I set up the Nikon D750 with a Nikon 14-24 2.8 on a tripod and had a GoPro Hero 4 in my hot-shoe to get the First Person Shooter perspective. My goal with this shoot was to simply let you join me as I captured these portraits.

Here is a video showing you how I edited these files in Adobe Lightroom
