Thank you, great video. May I suggest #11: Make your next camera purchase, your last purchase of a camera system. It is much easier to learn how to operate a new camera, of you know it's menu structure. If you keep shifting manufacturers, you have to learn a new menu every time and this is a pain!

Anthony, I love your content and your presentation style but, with respect, you need to consider working on your audio. 😊

depending on your definition of lens, you really don't need one. IE pinhole cameras

Quality mate

Excellent Information, thank you Anthony 👍

1K Fam In The House! Anthony impress video. You're making good use of stockfootage switching with you in the content!

Informative with great Broll.

Great content. Keep em' coming!

Really professional. Impressed. You are smashing it.

Wow! Well done! Very clear and concise! The challenge was amazing! Excited to see how all our channels do in the times ahead! 🤩

Nice explanation

My first "proper" camera was a Zenith E back in 1976, I now shoot with a Canon EOS-R & R3, not sure my images have evolved as much as my cameras 😁

Wrong color wheel - in photography and video - we use the Additive RGB color wheel. The visible light spectrum’s primary colors - red, green and blue - are mixed in different combinations and at varying levels of intensity to produce secondary colors. The wheel you are using is the subtractive color wheel. You will notice the difference when choosing complimentary colors as in your examples in RGB wheel the complementary color of yellow is blue. And the red-cyan and Magenta - green. etc. So it becomes important to use the right reference for light based images.

Hi Anthony nice video. I will try and get into back button focussing because of 'trigger finger' problems. Thanks for the tip. (Norman Allen)

Another option, instead of remote release or timer is the camera phone app...most, if not all have them. You can control the settings from your phone. Can be convenient when you are trying to be discrete

Always the viewfinder but prefer the wrist strap

Oh yes. Looking forward to your HDR video.

Thank you Anthony....great video...and inspiration...I really need to get my camera back in my hands...I appreciat the nudge...

Thanks Anthony. Also some of us in the over "60" crowd can't hold a spoon steady. A tripod is a must. And I just I just purchased a monopod to use with my longer lenses.

This is a nice video with great tips! Thank you Anthony! Oh and I am curious about your HDR tips. I hope they’re coming soon. And one more thing: you are doing well with your content releases 😂😂😂

Nice one mate!

I love me my nikon F5

If you can do mobile phone photography that would be great. (Chamara.)❤

Great video some nice tips, I would be interested in the HDR and the processing

Use an over the shoulder strap instead of a neck strap

Makes 100% sense to me thankyou.

Great video 👍🙂

I guessed the bonus tip! I switched about 2 years ago - I snap a lot of fast/moving stuff and I'd had several photography chums who do similar swear by it to help ensure focussing was less likely to be interrupted. I went cold turkey with it, very very strange and a bit frustrating to start with, but I couldn't go back to using the shutter button now. It's a really good tip, so many people don't know about it. Can I also say, you've grown into the talking to camera thing since the first video and I think you've improved the sound set up which Dave Clayton hinted at. Meant as praise for the new videos, not criticism for first one, I sure as hell couldn't do it! Off to get the e-book now.

Great video Anthony. Really concise explanation - looking forward to seeing more of these

Every day is a learning day! Top video mate - and that audio 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Nice one mate

Hi Anthony these videos are going to be so beneficial to those new to photography and trying to understand and navigate through different settings 👍

Thanks Anthony very easy to understand the the way you explain.

Great video, I liked how you explained the metering modes

Viewfinder all day 😊

Great day out with you Anthony, roll on the next one ❤

Good, practical information! Thank you.

Rule of thirds were 'pop'ularized by 35mm or 6X9 formats, because the ratio is 2X3. It works well by rebatment of the sides. It has become overwhelming dogma applied to everything because dogma likes simple ideas. If you want to learn composition, like the masters used, buy a book called The Secret Geometry of the Masters. It was out of print for a while, but is back as a paper back.

Not a fan of using an AI cartoon image as a thumbnail for a photography video.

Excellent video! I wish you could fix the audio, it has a little echo. But you got my subscription and thumbs up 👍!!

Love it mr c how have you been

Look forward to meeting up later in week Anthony 👍

Great video and great advice. I bought that book in 1980. My dad had an OM10, which is why I bought a Minolta instead, still the only camera I can use with my eyes closed, not that it would be much use doing that! Three thoughts from me. First, ignore those who say you’re not a proper photographer if you don’t shoot manual all the time or if you crop the image. Nonsense. Second and perhaps more controversial, sometimes it is about the gear. Photography appeals to many types of people and it’s ok to want new kit, whether that be cameras, lenses or computers. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t improve their pictures, what matters is that they get personal satisfaction from it. It’s like cycling , no one needs carbon fibre wheels and disc brakes but if buying them and riding them makes you happy, fine by me. Finally, I’d even go so far as saying that the final image matters less than many people think, provided the result isn’t depressing or frustrating the person. I get about 50% of my dopamine hit from pressing the shutter button rather than getting 100% from seeing the final image. In part that’s because my circumstances mean I don’t use my camera that often (maybe once every 6-8 weeks) so just getting it out and using it makes me happy. I delete about 98% of the resulting images, but that’s fine by me.

Great video Anthony

Useful video Anthony….but I think your mic is pointing the wrong way…:)

Thanks Anthony you explained it professionally for an old man like me to understand.

What great content Anthony

Yep - Roger all points. Good list. Best tip is to learn to shoot in manual, because it will also help you do better in the auto modes, getting the right exposure up front. And, as you say, just shoot - and maybe ask questions later - but GET the shot, even if it sucks. You can rarely recreate the moment, except in a studio, and even then, maybe not. All good tips. Nicely scripted and illustrations reinforce the narrative. A lot of you-tubers get this wrong - good job here. JR

Thanks for the video. I agree with your manual recommendation. Especially since all of my medium format and large format cameras are manual exposure and manual focus.
