Great video Mark, another cracking location, I am starting to think the reason your videos only come out every two or three weeks, is because you are busy building these locations lol. I'm with you on the subscriber count, I was a little anoyed when I released a macro video about a year or so ago and I got a lot of subscribers from it, so much so, I split my macro from my landscape channels because I didn't want them affecting my metrics, but I couldn't keep up with the 2 channels, I knew they wouldn't watch regularly because they subscribed for that one video at the time. Like you said views is a better metric to count, I would rather have only 1 subscriber but a million views than have a million subscribers and no views. Love your talks Mark always thought provoking.

Beautiful area Mark, that drone footage was great, you must have a good drone 😂, You can usually tell the “Photographers” from the Photographers, they pump out the same S**t over and over and nothing changes, my pet peeve is people taking sunrise shots and 8000 photos of the same photo on a different day later and they think they are an expert because everyone thinks sunrise is awesome so everyone gives it the thumbs up and they no nothing about photography, which boost egos lol.

Great drone footage Mark, your vlogs are definitely different than most YT photographers including myself. It’s the key to YT, be unique, you have your own style and people with watch for that style, with YT creators like myself that follow a similar style to others, I think it becomes about the presenter and how good they are, (I’m out of luck there) 😅. 👍🏻 is a good idea.

Is the drone footage at the start the place where you were supposed to be going? Cracking drone footage mark, would have made a great location to shoot at if it was, I’m assuming you still have the footage and photos you took just no posted them?

Hi Mark, a lot of history in your videos mate. I love watching the drone shots, you almost get an idea on how people lived and worked. I’ve never joined any clubs for photography, the only reference to improving is KZbin comments and my own opinion. Photos you put on most social media are one sided by people who don’t really know anything about photography, I’ve seen some horribly composed photos and over exposed or over saturated put on SM and the comments are always, what a wonderful photo etc. so I tend to measure my success by my own work lol.
@markpiercephotography3 ай бұрын
Thanks very much Keith. I feel for my documentation style, the drone is an important addition to give the wider landscape of the journey. Yes, for me, it’s about getting out on a regular basis & learning as you go on what works for you, & what doesn’t. Thanks for watching & your interaction Keith, much appreciated mate.🙏👍
