[@samelogio7441]

You are the master of keeping it simple. I love your ideas. With your guidance, there is no reason why any of us cannot produce some wonderful images. And, I couldn't agree more, take images for yourself and no one else. Thanks again Lee.

[@LeeHallphotography]

@samelogio7441 hi there my good friend thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. I really think that if more people made there videos simple we would enjoy them more. I am glad you agree with me on my thoughts about social media.

[@perritohiker]

Super happy to see you again Lee. When I see your enthusiastic face and skills I just have to smile. You seem to be the type of fellow who's fun to hang out with over a few pints. 🍻

[@LeeHallphotography]

@perritohiker thank you kindly my friend trust me what you see on my videos is what you get every day lol. My life is all about having fun mate. If I had a drink I would be stripping off and running around naked taking pictures lol

[@FairfieldFogey]

I love your videos because you are always happy & down to earth in your presentations, & make me want to try your ideas because of your simplistic approach, encouragement & suggested settings.Thank you for your ideas. I'm heading outside to find a leaf for my background. Great idea. Keep on having fun with your photography & sharing it with us!

Bravo Lee, I LOOOOVE the pictures!!! What you said about social media is so important, we often tend to "feed the crowd", while we forget to find the joy in our photography, and this is not right...

[@LeeHallphotography]

@@macsaikrisztina hi my friend thank you ever so much. It is true I don’t post as much as I did because I don’t want to be in that sort of a race where we are all trying to compete for a like. I just really enjoy plodding on at my own pace and just enjoying the moment

Hi there mate I am so glad to be back, I have struggled but I feel like a new man again. I am going to try and do 1 or 2 videos a month until I get back into the full swing of things.

[@ChasWG]

Just beautiful Lee! You've been a huge inspiration to me. Lately I can't seem to get my Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens off my Canon R7 body. Yeah, it's an older macro lens from the mid 70's with its FD bayonet mount. I just love vintage lenses, but this particular lens is just superb! Truly a great macro lens. There's a reason they gave it the nick-name of "The Bokina." Anyhow, I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful videos over the years. I'm going through all of them and learning and picking up some wonderful tips! Please take care of yourself!

[@LeeHallphotography]

Hello my friend I hope you are keeping well and safe. I love old lenses I really think they should bring a lot off them back. I think they really do give images caricature that new lenses don’t give you these days. I am so happy you are finding my videos a good help and inspiration.

[@ursulanoircent]

Yay! I'm so happy to see another video of yours, Lee! You are such a great teacher and I've learned so much by watching your videos! I have a question concerning using dandelion clocks in the winter. Do you pick them in the summer and freeze them to use in the winter? I'm in Canada, so when it's summer, I do mostly landscape and wildlife pictures, and I do still life and macrophotography (thanks to you) indoors during the winter. I have a few white dandelion heads in a tupperware in my freezer, and I'm hoping they will be workable when I try to use them in the winter. Any advice? Thank you!

[@LeeHallphotography]

@ursulanoircent hello there my friend thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind comment I really appreciate it. The best way to keep your seed heads I have found is simply put them into a small cardboard box. Or I use a Pringles tube. I have kept them for over a year this way. I did try and freeze them my self but they did not work that well after.

[@robertlaliberte1820]

I have a question for you. How do macro pictures look on a large screen? Are they washed out or faded? Could they be presentation quality? I enjoy your videos. They get my juices going.

[@LeeHallphotography]

@@robertlaliberte1820 hi my friend when you upload any pictures onto KZbin they render the pictures down a lot. They should be good for a big screen but they are never the same as a high resolution shot. When I do my presentation talks I use high resolution shots. It is the same on facebook they also render the pictures as well. I have blown my pictures up as large as 2 meters by 1 meters. And they are still pin sharp.

[@robertlaliberte1820]

Good to know. I recently joined a photography club and once a month we meet and the pictures we took are showed on a large screen. By the way, I know where Muskoka is. 4 hour drive North of hear. Nice place. You should come and see it in the fall when the leaves change colours.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

We have drosera growing wild in the bush. One group we call rainbow plants. Mostly they're climbers to a metre or so. They have small hands to hold onto things they climb, and small insects such as ants that drop in for a feed. Others are dead flat, with hairy, sticky leaves. Both grow a bunch of flowers near end of life.
