Hi Dave, this is great. Q what is the optimal image size / resolution? Thanks.

I was only recently thinking about how to mix up the standard YT production formula for my videos and bang 💥 I watch this intro ! Brilliant Dave and great to see the principal in action.

There's photographers and then there's let's click great job as usual.

Hey man, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a new logo that really reflect your lets click theme, custom membership badges, wallpaper and app icons packs and any kind of artworks to help scale up your branding and business opportunities? Let me know if you interested and I would love to craft something for you! :-)

Absolutely bangin intro mate, loved every bit of it, the tension, the drama, the - hang on a minute - was that actually a mention then? 😂😂 Liked the talk through, and the photo at the end. When you moved to that point during the video, I immediately thought that I preferred it to the others. Another great video, thanks Dave

What an appealing intro! Draws you right in. Great explanation of how you create your images. Loved the different angles. Beautiful photograph result. Loved it and the trip down memory lane with you. Well done! -Michelle

Interesting concept, Dave. I agree. Quite often the first two are either pre-planned or something you instinctively see. The layman's 'You've got a photographic eye' if you will, but the reality is your eyes are also trained to see compositions. Sometimes it is preplanned, I might visualise what I want to shoot before I get to a location or I've already scoped it out on Google earth /maps. Other times the composition comes from stopping and observing. I have to confess waiting for the right light is where I fall down. Many of my images are shot on days out with non photographers who don't understand the idea of 'waiting for the right light'.😂 I found it interesting that you finally chose the shot from the left-hand side of the road for your final image after initially dismissing it. I guess that shows your methodology in action.

What an opening sequence ! That was really well done mate and a great explanation of your approach to photography with the iCalm ! Enjoyed that !

Interesting, we have the same tripod over year, used it in rain, mud rivers, sahara desert and dusty conditions and it still looks like new and works as it should. It looks more like you are pretty hard on your gear, there is no way all those scratches and chips are only from carrying it around and transport

Hi mate, great explanation of the subject, i am guilty of leaving my white balance on auto for the most part and trying to correct in post. So maybe its time i concentrated more on this while out in the field. Top tips as always mate, hope your well, take care.

Great info, as always mate. I nearly always adjust in LR, but I will go manual with bluebells, as they can look really off on the back of the camera. Save with heather, as you say.

Unfortunately the NT leadership policies have diverged from the Trust's founding principles. To protect their power they have taken steps to destroy the integrity of its democratic basis. (Particularly by introduction of the 'Quick vote' to undermine the votes by informed membership)

Another well explained topic, Dave. I do sometimes try setting the white balance with a grey card, but that's about as much as I get into it. I should really take this into consideration more, especially when doing landscape photography (OK, so that isn't often).

Thanks Dave. That's the best explanation of WB that I have seen. Could I suggest a follow up to this video, that goes through how to set WB manually (by that I mean the value). At the moment, I am not sure how to put my new knowledge into use, either in the field or in post! Cheers.

Very informative as always mate! I started using manual white balance a couple of years ago. I'm not saying that I always get it right, but I've noticed my images are generally closer to the color I see than when using Auto WB. At the very least, I like the feeling of being in control of my images as much as possible - for better or for worse I guess. Always a great watch mate! Chat soon!

Thanks for the tips, I've had a few issues with auto w/b with backlit framing..

Yes, correct. RAW is uncorrected. R series bodies do aberration corrections in jpeg. Suits me. I've used ONLY zooms for 40 years. Best one ever. It's a great price v quality deal. Competes price and quality wise with a lot of third party similar APS-C lenses, but it's full frame! I went with RP + 24-240 kit on a discount. If you go APS-C you have the option of later of adding or switching to FF body and no worries about the lens. I would not have paid extra for weather seal, etc. Never needed it, even on the Maid of Mist at Niagara Falls! Lens hood cheap: JJJ brand on EBay is fine. Canon could not have done this lens price and quality without mirrorless and in camera corrections. Better than paying 3 to 5 times the price for a mirrored version in FF!

Yep. It's good. Loved my Tamron 18-270 APS-C bought 12 years. RP + this 24-240 does that and more!

That was a great video. Thank you so much

Thank you for the review, considering they almost cost the same, 24-105mm L, I'll go for the L. Lack of weather sealing killed it for me on this lens. 👍

That's great thank you but when I publish it it says I suppose to upgrade 😢 is there any way to publish it for free?

A macro lens, for macro!? Unpossible!

Most accurate video online for sure

Thanks for these processing tips

You are a Joke! The most biased review I've seen in months. I've been using this tripod for months and have zero problems. Sorry, it's not 7 feet tall. It is a super light tripod for travel - tilt your screen a little and it is Totally useable/. Also, it is Under$100.00.unlike your 4-500 dollar 10X the weight.

I have the Canon R6MII and just got this 24-240 lens last Friday, in the initial testing Ive done, I am very happy with it. I am a seasoned photographer with mainly L Canon lenses. Im heading away on a trip soon and wanted something versatile that would work for landscape and zooming in as well, and found this lens... Its a beauty of a lens, not as heavy as the L lenses - which I wanted/needed for travel, doesn't have the weather sealing which is a slight down fall, however that said I do not typically go out in the rain, unless its a light rain and I am shooting macro - so that will be ok! I am loving this lens, I have this and my RF 35mm f1.8 that I will be bringing with me on our trip and its now my travel kit. Super happy with it and excited to play more with it!

I have only recently discovered you videos, really enjoyed them. The end result here is marvellous. Inspirational

Im surprised you say gloss is the most popular. Ive had one roll of gloss for 4 years and gone through dozens upon dozens of matte and luster.

Great watch Dave , insightful as ever. Hope you're well?

I simply do NOT understand. For ages ALL reviews are about optical quality and then we test the ultimo's of the lens, always looking immediately into sharpness, vignetting, aberrations and barrel distortion. And when a lens scored bad in these areas - woooo the lens manufacturor. And now, with Canon trying to get all their DLSR EF(S) body and lens owners onto the R patform - now this isn't an issue any more - for software can easily correct this? WHAT a NONSENSE. A) You're dependent on the in-camera JPG generation and - let's face it - that's not ideal. B) you HAVE TO post-process EVERY raw image. Well: that works quite well when shooting 1.000 images on your wild life trip, holiday, football match or wedding shoot. Any idea how time that's going to cost you? Or how advanced your automatic correcting port-procesisng workflow must be? WTF. Generating a strong, decent, directly OK raw file REMAINS to be very very relevant and this lens SUCKs at this. I'm ranting for I beleieve these type of Hooray! video reviews are either bad reviews or we're looking at marketing sponsored rubbish. And I'm ranting for Canon will simply not UP their game when we - as photograpghers - buy into this BS of accepting very poor optical performance of their newest lenses. I'm sticking to my R system adaptor and the ES, ES-F, L series, Sigma Sports and Tamron high quality lenses and DO NOT buy into this poor quality trap.

This way of working has been a bit alien to me, but slowly and surely I'm being to understand with help from you workshops great video dave 😊

Thanks so much for your review, it saved me from wasting my money. I am new to photography and am looking for a first tripod but I don’t want junk. Thanks again!

Great stuff Dave, very insightful. Keep 'em coming! Regards from Mam Tor Roger.

Great video as always mate! That drone video at 2:15...is that you doing a workshop at Crosby Beach? I don't remember those cement steps/break wall. Maybe those are at a different area than I've been at on my visits? I remember something similar at Blackpool. Maybe my memory is just fading fast 😂 Always a great watch and listen! Chat soon pal.

Hi L C P, thank you so much for doing this so clearly and sensibly, I do think that the underscore issue is that it is not the tasking of pictures or filming that is prohibited it is the commercial publication of images, this of course does not cover any images or footage taken from outside the property of objects within the curtilage. Cheers, Richard.

The concept of self realisation to one’s workflow and the ability to ask oneself “why” is a great way to understand, develop and adapt one’s approach to photography Dave - an enjoyable watch 👍🏻

Interesting stuff. Nice to see/hear your methods for shooting great photos, Dave. I often struggle with finding the time for photography+good light v other commitments. Some locations I may not be able to photograph again. Perhaps I need to photograph more locally and more regularly.

Fix the sound the music so loud the when you talk you can barely be heard

Great guide Dave! Very clearly explained and thought out. Glad this can help make photo shoots go smoother! - Michelle

Love this concept Dave, because it is (for me at least) easy to remember from the acronym. My problem at the moment is still making the time to get out and plan, or even plan using stuff like Google maps, partly because we’ve had (and still have) loads to do on our new place. All being well, that time is not too far away now, and I’ll be able to crack on and make the most of this beautiful part of the country.

Very Useful video thanks

Great advice as always mate! Good chat yesterday!

Yeah, you need the time, and also in some cases, a way to maintain the desire over that time. You know what though Dave - I really like that shot with the white rock! Something about the textures and colours create a really interesting mood. Horses for courses i suppose. 😊

personally if I take a shot and a car is in it I will always blur the plate of the car, if people are in the shot its almost always a crowd so I tend to keep faces in but when it comes to license plates I always blur them

Time is definitely something I don't have enough of, I'd definitely agree that with more time I'd be able to become a better photographer (alongside a bit more money too!). As for the original images in your video, Dave, don't be too hard, we all look at some of our older shots and think why did I take that. I also think that at the time you shot this video we were coming out of lockdown we were all just glad to be able to get out of the house! Your skills would naturally be rustier.

A very enjoyable video which is full of encouragement. Even less than three years on, I am already looking at some older images and saying to myself “what were you thinking?!”. But then I sit back in the realisation that it’s not what I was thinking then, but what I am thinking now that makes the difference. And what an enjoyable journey it is. (well, for the most part 🤣). Slot booked for the sunrise shoot, really looking forward to visiting the area & meeting up. Cheers Dave.

Time is the one thing I'm really struggling to find enough of at the moment for photography but whole heartedly agree with your narrative!

Great video Dave very honest of you. Booked my meet up spot I really enjoyed the last one I got so much form the meet plus my favourite of the year Thank for your time 😊😊
