I have recently discovered PhotoPills as I further pursue my photography habit… I mean hobby 😅… in retirement. The power of PhotoPills is amazing, and your tutorials are equally amazing! I have watched 2 or 3 on specific issues, but I am now going to go back and watch them all in order. Thank you Brenda for taking the time to put this series out there for us all to learn from! ❤

Great. Great. Great! Just the right length. Super helpful bite-sized format. I now believe there may be hope for me with this app.

EXCELLENT! I also photograph alone 99 percent of the time and always have bear spray on the backpack belt as well as the Inreach Mini SOS device.

Absolutely fantastic video, thank you!

I was able to follow this and now I have a better idea of how to plan ahead more effectively.000

Been a long time user and did not know this 12:45 🤦‍♂️ great video. 👌

thats what nobody explained before...you focus then recompose. great

Helpful

I’m sure this is obvious to everyone but me, but my location pin isn’t set correctly. I know to hold down the pin to move it to where I want it, but if I want to return to my precise location, how do I do that?

Thank you for this video. I found it very clear and concise for planning milky way 🌌 photos. I've used the app a while now and very comfortable with being able to place a moon over a given subject and have got some lovely full moon photos over water towers etc. I learnt all that from yourself so obvious channel to come back to for milky way planning. Thank you very much for the brilliant videos you made on photopills.

This was fantastic thank you

Initially watched your Photopill series. Like your honest videos and find them really useful. Thanks.

why apologise for the dog he/she is gorgeous

Brenda, you are the best! You demonstrate the skills of a great teacher. Your PhotoPills tutorials are the best. It is a joy watching your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good work.

Honestly the fact you need this series shows the UI is too complex and unintuitive...

I am sure these are good videos but I really would prefer to watch someone that focuses on their driving instead of talking to a camera.

it was a brilliant video on this subject, much appreciate it👍👍

Very informative content, clear to understand (the Photopills video with Rafael is very difficult to understand - unless you are from his country). Although this video is 4 years old perhaps you could do an update? Look forward to seeing more. Many thanks.

Thank you. Indeed very helpful. Wouldnt you lose sharpness at f16? I thought after f11 on a 35’mm sensor you get a loss of sharpness from diffraction?

Why Compass button doesn't work on my IOS devices (iphone and ipad)?

Outstanding information!

Brilliant ❤❤

Just getting started, your video was super helpful, thank you.

Bonjour J'ai refais l'exercice, j'ai placé l'épingle rouge et l'épingle noire. Dans le panneau 2 j'ai distance 2.4km azimut 299.8° et différence d'altitude 0m/-0,01°. J'ai bien mis l'épingle noire sur la torche (c'est pas la hauteur de la torche , mais le terrain) et l'épingle rouge sur le petit ponton . Les deux épingles me donne une altitude 0m ce qui sauf erreur de ma part n'est pas logique. Pouvez vous m'aider? Merci .......................................................................................................................................................................................................... Hello I did the exercise again, I placed the red pin and the black pin. In panel 2 I have distance 2.4km azimuth 299.8° and altitude difference 0m/-0.01°. I put the black pin on the torch (it's not the height of the torch, but the terrain) and the red pin on the small pontoon. The two pins give me an altitude of 0m which unless I'm mistaken is not logical. Can you help me? Thank you

Brenda, I do have a question for you. How can I be sure that the foreground building I have in mind will actually be visible form my planned shooting location? Your example and Rafael's conveniently shoot across a body of water. I want to shoot the full moon rise over the Salesforce tower in San Francisco and the planner tells me I need to be at the Golden Gate Park to do so. But without actually going there first, how can I know whether the Salesforce tower will actually be visible from that location?

I know this is 6 years later, but wanted to watch the MW timelapse. As a woman, do you ever get creeped out by other's who may be around you? I could imagine if that was a party with alcohol involved, that it could potentially be dangerous. I struggle with being outdoors alone at night shooting, and my husband really isn't comfortable with it. I fear people more than the animals, but so far haven't had a problem yet. Thanks for a great video.... too bad about the headlights in your shots.

Thank you so much for these videos. I have had this app for a while, but never really been able to figure it out intuitively!

Great videos! I'm traveling to Montana 9.1.24 should be in New Moon or pretty near that phase. I have a Canon 5D Mark 4. Looking forward to shooting my first night skies. Hopefully it won't be my last. Onto your next video!

Have to confess I came here to learn more about PhotoPills because I’ve found PlanIt Pro app to be far superior but never discussed. Figure I better see if there’s something I’m missing in PhotoPills.

Merci pour ces 2 saisons PhotoPills. Votre pédagogie est remarquable.

When you turn 70 this will be a normal event so your practicing early. Your vids have a nice touch. THX

super silica gel advice. thank you very much!

Ha! Line thikness = sun/moon size at given spot... That's a cool feature :)

Thank you, your videos have been excellent. I wanted to love the app, but I couldn't understand quite well a lot of things, and the "official" tutorials are completely awful, not because of the content, but because of the way Rafa speaks, the creator of the app. I also speak spanish, and it's really incredible, not in spanish or englisn is understandable hahaha.

This is the best byte size photopills tutorials on KZbin. Thank you.

Is there a newer way to focus stack w/o using layer masks ???? Thx ❤

Layer masks still messes with my brain !!!! But i love your videos ! Im still trying to wrap my brain around photoshop!!

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS . I have never used a polarizer …. I need to get on it !! I need to learn it ! Thank you again for all your videos !!!!❤

LOVE THIS VIDEO . I have a question…. Do u focus 1/3 the way into the scene ???? Single shot - ? THANK U !!! Love your videos !!! ❤

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!! Love your determination & grit !!!!

Great video !!!!

This explanation is perfectly clear! Thank you

I purchased photopills five years ago but never really used it because I found it so confusing. I just wanted to leave a comment to thank you for your exceptional tutorials and now fully understand it ! So pleased I came across your videos 👏

Hello from Rutland. Noobie who finds your videos very helpful. Trying to find a spot for my first MW photo.

i just stopped watching this video, ill go back and start watching all the photopills Friday episodes until i get to this one (Y)

OMG, thank so so so much for this tutorial, i will make sure to watch all your videos. This explanation of how to use the app is amazing!!!

Photopills on playstore :🤡 Photopills on happymod :😈

You have a GIFT! This video was such a great help to me after learning of Photo Pill for the first time and preparing to become an astro photographer. I'm sure I will watch each video several times. The speed of talking is perfect for me unlike some videos where the speaker talks way too fast. And you are obviously very knowledgeable about the app. I am glad to subscribe to Outdoor Photography. I am not going to search for another tutorial as it couldn't be any better. Thanks so much for all the time you must have invested in creating this course. See you soon! Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

Brenda, everything you explain is concise, clear, and unbelievably simple. I wish I had teachers like you throughout my life, and I wouldn't need Google. You are brilliant.
