I'm here just for your photos and self reminder that I have everything I need 😊 Thank you.

This was such a good reminder of how photography should be that I watched it twice...... Thanks Craig.

Great thinking & advice, also for the „experienced“ among us. I agree wholeheartedly (as very! often), only on the prime I struggle. Absolute beginners of any hobby need to stay fascinated and interested. Avoiding frustration in the early stages is key. Here zooms can help. IF one (as beginner) sees the opportunity, the zoom is your friend. If you struggle to „see“ you are right, the prime simplifies and focuses.

I had a E6 subscription for a year but my understanding of English is bad and the vimeo videos and nopodcasts I could hardly understand, and the guides were a struggle for me. That is my handicap. I understand the youtube videos thanks to the automatic translation of subtitles. However, Craig is for me one of the most inspiring, pedagogical, sincere... and simple ;) photographers I know. That's why I will renew my e6 subscription right now. Greetings from the Basque Country Done!

Welcome back! 👍I think you’ll find Vimeo has new subtitles options now too.

[@dustinalexander982]

I stumbled along this video and it helped me alot cause I was looking in the wrong places aka gear

[@kenhenley7599]

Excellent video. There, that was simple! Cheers.

I have zoom lenses that cover 8-600mm (840 if using the 1.4x) but I am happiest with the 50mm prime.

[@peterhewitson71]

Hi some interesting comments and ideas as a new photographer I got a lot from this , thanks very much

[@keithtimmis]

Excellent video. Thanks and merry Xmas!

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great video and advice 👍

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice video and advice!

[@stevenbirds2920]

Another very good video. Thanks. Just one observation though and it’s not a point of criticism but rather of clarification. Your references to a 50mm at f8 etc are based around using “full frame”. Novice Crop sensor users will require different settings. In the case of say the four thirds user, the equivalent would be 25mm and f4. Happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year. ( perhaps it will bring the long awaited PenF Pro 🤔)

Hi Craig, that's what photography should be, SIMPLICITY. Or as you mentioned in previous videos, [ KISS ] Keep it simple, stupid. Some really great advice like getting a Graduated ND Filter, when i first started out i had a nice Landscape photo and the sky was bright and blown out. This advice is very useful for beginners and for Enthusiasts. Another great Album, can't wait to see the next cover. Seasons greetings Craig and thanks for all your great videos throughout the year. 😊🎄

greetings from Argentina. Thanks!

Good advice on simplifying camera settings and use. Simple means different things to different people though. For landscape I do exactly as you do, deciding what is the best ISO to use depending on the weather and the effect I want to get. Then focus and go (I use a manual focus camera so concentrating on where I’m focusing is useful even when shooting at f8-f11). For urban shoots I often change to auto-ISO to allow for dramatic changes in lighting when walking into and out of shadows when walking down the street

SONY!!!!!

[@joedoe7572]

As a relative beginner, I feel like choosing between different prime lenses would give me much more decision paralysis than finding a zoom length on the one lens that I carry around attached to my camera. I think it also prevents me from missing opportunities

[@bopiyeff]

Craig, thank you for video! Really helpful for me! So ricoh gr 3 would be a great choise with NISI master filters for landscape photography

[@e6Vlogs]

Absolutely.

[@weaponengineer]

Hey Craig….. Which camera you have use in this video while showing us setting section ? Olympus E-M1 MARK III or Olympus OM-1 Mark II Which one from above ?

[@squaretops1]

Do you focus on the foreground then drop in the nd grad when you see the overexposed sky.Then focus again and take the shot?Is that what you do?

[@savvyshooterf8]

Hi Craig, yor website link isnt working for me. Can you check it please?

[@Martingj56]

I never expected to see an Anthrax album on your cupboard 😨

[@e6Vlogs]

You don’t know me very well then! I’m a proper metal head!

[@Martingj56]

😢Sorry😉

[@cameraman655]

You know, Craig, I believe you are indeed!👍😆

[@12symmo]

If all I had was the holy trinity of zooms my photography would be much simpler 😅

[@mcutler71]

Yay. First person to leave a comment. Great video and love my E6 subscription.

[@davidletz9123]

I never took you to be an Anthrax guy, but then again if you saw me you wouldn't take me for an Irom Maiden guy either.

[@Voiceless1SC]

Zooms do have their advantages. Like in bad weather conditions. You don’t really want to expose your sensor to rain/sand etc. Changing lenses in lashing sideways rain, on a hillside, isn’t very enjoyable! It’s also not difficult to intentionally stick to a specific focal length. Given this is a “beginner” focused video, It can also be very expensive to purchase a few primes, so a Zoom can be a more affordable option.

Instructions unclear: Spent 5k on new prime lenses.
