[@donridgway7269]

What a crystal-clear, superb explanation and illustration of the depth of field dilemma. Thanks!

[@PhotographyOnline]

Glad it was helpful Don

Listen! Count me as one of those subscribers who know the value of these videos. Every episode comes with top quality, rich in knowledge and information. Good enough to be a TV show on Netflix and the sort! I started with the June edition and I have gone back to start from January. I don't know what I'll do when I get to the last. God bless all of you making this free for all!

[@michaelk4149]

Give this a big thumbs up. What a brilliant on line photography channel this is you don’t have to be a pro or a geek to understand the features shown as always explained in easy terms and sometimes with a bit of humour added. The features are in bite size chunks enabling you to watch when you have spare 5 minutes, but I guarantee you will sit and watch from start to finish as I do and everything else will have to wait.

[@akgreenberg]

I can't answer for anyone else, but the best segment of the show, other than watching a camera and photographer not getting swept away by the surf (I was praying for them), was seeing the joy in the little lass as she ran with the kite! Bring her back soon! I love the show!

[@sarvinwarden6421]

Must congratulate the production team for doing such a great job.

[@npmerrill]

That kid’s endearing laughter was exactly what I needed to hear today. Best regards and cheers to all of you; thank you for the education and entertainment!

[@roberthopper4269]

Your approach and programming is a breath of free air. Keep it going!

[@adriankelly1744]

Hi from Australia Thanks for making photography more easy to understand ......at 67...and just found the hobby .I need all the help I can get Keep up the great work Regards

[@markrootes2587]

Hi all, just wanted to say the depth of field section of this months show was the best demonstration of how it works I've seen so far, it was an excellent and very practical example thanks Marcus enjoying and look forward to all presenters on each month's show stay safe all.

[@mhs21981]

I was also left wondering whether he was the snooker pro as shown here, or whether it took several takes?!

[@gerarbara]

This series deserves network coverage. Thank you. I've spread the message on Facebook.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks for sharing!

[@robbieledwith8437]

My first show...top notch .... love it....something for all levels of photography....regards from the Irish midlands.

[@johngunning2123]

Excellent show with some great tips. Absolutely loved the "Controlled aerial photography" feature with the inclusion of some gorgeous giggles from the main launcher person. Cuteness overload! Now, what is this about? Three grown men sat at table number 12 drinking water and in Scotland of all places! Surely this is a crime against Scotland!

[@leoworrell9730]

[@maaflyaa8571]

This show should be on the top 5 YT photography channels. Thank you for your work!

[@adrianglamorgan9486]

You bring together generosity, humour, intelligence, respect for the natural surroundings, pleasure for the craft, and positive regard for each other, which gives your series a breezy spirit that is edifying, educational and fun all at the same time... I'm grateful indeed

[@AlexanderSogliero]

The most thorough explanation of DoF out there. Why a contribution to the photographic community 👏

[@PhotographyOnline]

Cheers Ajay.

[@imtiazindia]

Brilliant content. Super presentation. Never stop ...just keep going ..you will become the best photography channel on youtube shortly.

[@atasmrk2012]

One of the best (if not the best) photography content on youtube. I've been following you since day 1 and I am glad I am. Keep up with the good work, guys. You rock! :)

[@PeacefulExposures]

Love the videos...I could listen to Ruth talk all day. Love her voice

[@johnd7564]

Your entire team is doing the most rigorously correct photography instruction I've seen online. SO impressed! Thank you for sharing your expertise in such a careful and clear way.

[@angusgibbins4954]

Marcus's DoF explanation is next level.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks Angus.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

Ep. 2 Ruth, I can't wait to see your garden being explored the way Neist point just happened to be. Especially that "High-slide peak", which is of the strangest green colours. Springtime induced perhaps ! 🤔 Main thing being animals can rest atop. 😉 We may get the chance to discover one of Nature's greatest mysteries and treasures : peat. How weird are those vegetals, able to grow infinitely, resulting in layers of up to dozens of meters in thickness ! Heat, gardening, birds nesting... you name it. Not forgetting a major role in Whiskies distillation. Nature's treasure... I told you. 😇

[@iainm1256]

Only found this channel today. What a brilliant program. Full of great information which is professionally presented. I will be going through any back episodes I find and look forward to seeing future ones.

[@nicksanyal2144]

Great show that keeps getting better. Enjoy the diversity, the skill, the humor and the accents!

[@rogerthompson6851]

A very good, and accurate, description of Depth of Field. Years ago, many years ago, there was a movement underfoot to change the name to Depth of Focus. But with your very capable lesson, there's no need.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

Another incredible episode, with not a single wasted moment. That "otter chapter" was to fall for... I have to make it to Skye. Well... speaking about the long term that is. You all can be proud of your work, no hesitation allowed ! Doing my best to refer you around among my English speaking fellows. Please... keep on keeping !!!

[@scottporter8386]

Another great show guys. Well done again. I love the Skye location section every month. This months favourite section for me was photographing otters, really enjoyable and informative.

[@a-bela]

... Marcus with the little lady and the kite! awesome! Thank you! and to you too, Ruth!

[@kenprochaska2286]

The information provided in your videos is really great, organized and well shot. I think that there are 3 otters in the otter photo.

[@ianrchalmers]

I am in Australia and look forward to this video each month. Very well done.

[@peterkin1000]

Every episode is professionally produced and presented and the contents are varied, informative and suitable for photographers with a wide range of experience and skill. Quite excellent. Thank you.

[@davidroby8493]

Just when you think you guys couldn't get any better, you do! Very slick, very professional, packed with useful information (and opinions), well put together and presented - thank you very much.

[@maverickrodriguez7213]

I watched these series backwards and I’m excited to see a quality show about photography. 3 experts and a host keeping the show balanced. I don’t know how you guys finance this, but regardless if you are a professional or an amateur trying to get out of Auto this channel is entertaining, informative and charismatic. On another note that kite idea is great. Couple tweaks to the idea and you might have something going on to those banned drones areas.

[@HankJNewman]

Great channel and content 👍 Started photographing as a hobby few months ago, so I’ve been watching hours and hours material from KZbin. I have to say that this was the best explanation of depth of field.

[@MichaelJustin]

To be honest....thank you for one of the best photography channel on the web... ...great work, briliantly hosted by Ruth Taylor, great topics in every episode even if you´re not immediately 100% interested in this topic. The whole show is presented very sympathetically, with great pictures, topics and the people who are responsible for this show ... just said thank you for a moment.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks Michael. We're glad you are enjoying it.

[@martinmullen71]

I stumbled across this site whilst scrawling through KZbin, I have a keen interest in photography although haven’t touched my camera for a few years. Absolutely loved it, very informative and enjoyable, I have subscribed and will recommend this to other friends.

[@peterellarby19]

Should be called Best Photography Online. Looking forward to next episodes.

[@DWIngham]

Another well crafted video that provides information, insight and amusement. The obvious fact that this team enjoys their work, their passion for photography and look like friends enjoying each others company is what sets it apart. Please keep up with the film camera segments, very well done.

[@lynnjohnson3669]

thank you Marcus, this is the best explanation and illustration of DOF I have ever found. You made it easy to get to grips with a difficult subject.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Glad it was helpful Lynn. Thanks for watching and happy New Year.

[@underwatercare]

You Guys are amazing. I'm an underwater photographer, but due to the global lockdown I couldn't enjoy take UW pics as much as I would, so I really enjoy your show, and let me close more and more to landscape photography, that I missed since a wile. And here in Maldives there are plenty of landscape photo session opportunities for me. Thank you so much from the depth of my heart.

[@RickMentore]

Thoroughly enjoyed the show! Shooting the GX617 was fascinating, I am thinking of getting one! Yea, Photography Online is the most comprehensive photo show online.

[@ridealongwithrandy]

The kite experiment was priceless, the little girls laugh was so cute, made me laugh, and that is just the medicine we need these days. Very well done, and funny :)

[@raymorgan4337]

Excellent. Full of practical insights.

[@johntaylor4707]

I've just discovered your vids on KZbin, I'm a old darkroom worker , I watched your coverage of a guy in his darkroom , it took back 10 years I absolutely loved it. ❤😂

[@PhotographyOnline]

Great to hear. Welcome to our channel

[@wegonerving2931]

Another awesome video with excellent content and useful tips. Thanks!!

[@257squadron]

Absolutely loving these programmes. You should be on main stream TV!!! HAve have been binge watching them over the last couple of days. The kite experiment was hyllarius. Your gonna need a longer tail for it!

[@danielhighkin4599]

Another great show. I especially liked the depth of field portion. And Marcus, your daughter is very cute.

[@alanplatt888]

Depth of field section Wow ! This part of the episode is going on my rewind and repeat list to infinity, amazing perspectives. Mind boggling balls of confusion

[@paulbrooks7738]

I liked Harry's advice about cleaning the front of lenses and his demonstration of wiping in a circular motion. I have a comment, however. I was once cleaning the front of my Nikon 70-200 and was wiping in a circular motion as always. I always wiped in a circular ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction as Harry was doing. This time the retaining ring for the front element of the lens came unscrewed and I had great difficulty getting the lens back together correctly. My advice now is wiping in a circular motion, but make sure that you wipe CLOCKWISE to prevent loosening the front element. I had never thought about or noticed that I had been loosening the front of my lens until it came off. Fortunately, I was working on a soft cloth and the lens element was not damaged when it came off.

[@randymyers8600]

The best generalized photography show on KZbin. Keep up the good work guys.

[@fernandomendez9390]

Love your videos ! Keep them coming ! A big THANKS to you all.

[@steverandles4919]

Another great production, well done team 👍

[@MartyLInTheDoghouse]

Great show as always and superb production quality! Wishing you all good health!

[@JohnHavord]

Another excellent episode. Big thank you, to all the production team, your hard work is making this a must view show. Would be interesting to have a feature, on each team members favourite personally captured image, with an explanation of why. Take care and stay safe.

[@MyJeanf]

I was so glad to see there was a episode for May given the lockdown. Excellent show as always . Thanks guys

[@alancrichton5869]

Just keeps getting better and better. I'd like to commend your professional production. Marcus, loved the kite experiment; well done your assistant. Most happy thing I've seen in the trying weeks of this lockdown. Keep at it and look forward to meeting you on Skye sometime :)

[@angelafitch9439]

Great programme this month - thanks. I'll share the DOF with Birlingham Photography Club as I think a few will find it fairly easy to understand, even the techie bit was fine!! Thanks.

[@PaulA-ym9we]

Astonishingly good content, accessible without being patronising with consistant themes between episodes. After the lockdown, Skye next stop!

[@MADPIX1]

I had a fantastic Otter encounter in the centre of my small town a few days back. A mum with two young feeding on eels and fish and even taking a pigeon into the water at one point. They have moved closer into town due to flood alleviation work and are regularly spotted by local dog walkers and cyclists. I managed to observe them up close for around four hours with one youngster coming in to the shallow water to within six feet of me and looking up my lens. Keep up the great work with the channel, the most enjoyable subscription I've found on KZbin to date. Well done everyone.

[@malcolmpierce825]

I was procrastinating watching this. So glad I didn't let it get away! Great information quite well spelled out. Thank you!! I'm sharing because the explanations are so wonderful, much better said and shown than I usually do!! Well done!

[@andrehoffbauer]

Freshly discovered this channel yesterday and already watched all videos now. I'm really exited about the content and its presentation. Many thanks for this amazing format!

[@Life_x_Rory]

Love this show. Just discovered it last week and I'm working my way through all the episodes ☺️. Keep up the good work.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Welcome to our channel Rory. Thanks for watching

[@debsrudling4254]

Another great show guys...looking forward to the next episode

[@cazcam2000]

Excellent content, amazing and informative views on equipment and technique, and just great fun to watch. Just a few words to describe how good this channel is. The fact that it is from my favourite part of the world, the Highlands of Scotland just adds to the mix. Keep up the great work!

[@MikePearcePhoto]

Excellent video all round - thank you for putting the time and effort in to make something with such high production values. Especially liked the balance of technical and fun.

[@mehmetyilmaz8597]

Thanks soo much,i have been watching you guys last couple days yet i have learned soo much. your efforts are appreciated.

[@dezfranklin5182]

Fab show, best photography channel on KZbin - period.

[@Daniel-rz8vy]

This channel is pure gold for a beginner like me! I love the content!

[@PhotographyOnline]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@pamelacook1966]

I think that might be your best show yet.. although I have enjoyed them all immensely. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@paulmarshall677]

Another wonderful and informative episode. Enjoyed the kite feature with its Blair Witch / Apollo 13 feel. Keep up the good work and hope to see you guys in the Dolomites (this year) and/or Utah (next year). Fingers crossed this virus sods off soon so we can all get out and taking photos. Cheers for helping to keep us sane. Good luck to you all.

[@laurencedunkley8097]

Really enjoyable as usual, d.o.f. demo made sense of this tricky subject, kite flying simply brilliant,will next month's edition show Harry repairing the lense he threw over his shoulder all held together, no pun intended, by Ruth.

[@sanclewphotographic]

Another fantastic video full of priceless information and how Marcus remembers all that technical stuff I can't imagine, I had to run it through twice just to imprint the basics on my brain, lovely piece on the Otters, beautiful camera work, and the lighthouse always been one of my favourite venues on Skye, just best place in the world in my eyes excuse the mush, look forward to more to come, regards to all, Colin.

[@robertspeicher5047]

Thank you! Depth of field knowledge, now, not so confusing.

[@stubones]

Macro photography is a great way to demonstrate the effect of distance from subject in relation to DOF. I remember when I was experimenting with macro photography for the frst time, about 13 years ago how, even at tiny apertures the DOF was shallow and it boggled my mind.

[@arthurspooner6082]

Well done for such an excellent series, knowledgeable presenters and a production standard as good as any TV show. I look forward to the next show.

[@normanfazakerley3618]

Once again fantastic episode . Thoroughly enjoyed the otters piece and the piece explaining depth of field.

[@oldmanandthesea3763]

Love this channel. Hope someday to see your beautiful landscape. Best three lenses- Nikon 14-24, 24-70, and 70-200. Little more reach, substitute the 80-400 for the 70-200. I think the kite exercise was great, suggest increasing the length of the tail. Take care and stay safe.

[@davideccleston2142]

Excellent show yet again. Really appreciate the quality of content and advice. Great job guys n gal.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Cheers David

[@Toby4929]

What a great show (again)! I found the Otter piece really insightful; although I've had success at a river location in Dorset, I've failed miserably in South Uist - now I'm better prepared. The DoF segment was very enlightening but protein rich - that will get watched a few more times yet before I blind my camera club with science. And also the camera/lens section served up some great tips (and excuses to buy more stuff). Oh, and you are not paying your glamorous kite assistant enough - she put a big smile on my face during this tedious lockdown. Good snooker skills Marcus, btw.

[@paulmerrick3733]

Very enjoyable series especially as we all have so much time on our hands

[@topmotorrevolution2128]

Another work done. Good job this time too. Keep it up, we are watching you.

[@Rbreeezy]

Just crossed my mind to check the channel for a new episode, the surprise I got ! Awesome, keep up the wonderful work!

[@bunkermagnus]

Best illustration of DoF I've seen so far!

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks Magnus

[@figaro501]

I think that perfect word would be uttered by most photographers. I had a fit of laughter at your dilemma! Stay safe guys and keep uploading your very intuitive, sometimes comical videos.

[@RobVanElven]

Great episode. Really loved the kite segment, but enjoyed the great variety of photography topics. All so expertly presented. This is a wonderful team and channel. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@josephpellicone2662]

Excellent Show as usual

[@verlenelewis9866]

I love your show! I always learn something while enjoying the beautiful Skye scenery and the guys’ whacky sense of humor. Keep up the great work.

[@kharlleegrafie]

I have clicked the like button even before watching the video coz I know the content is ultimately amazing! Great content as always. Hope you are all safe. Much love from the Philippines!

[@robertcranna8161]

I look forward to this fix every month from Down Under in Sydney. I've spent a bit of time in Scotland over the years, but never made it to Skye. It's on the bucket list now. Great show - please keep it up.

[@StephenCree]

Wow! I’ve only just discovered this channel. Fantastic content! Great work...

[@Bakin]

My first view of your show but it won't be my last! Thanks, from New England, USA

[@mywildlifestories3793]

I love Scotland a lot. Anything which has its name taken , I never miss that video. Hope, next time to see some typical Highland wildlife and landscape photography

[@glennrossiter6680]

Excellent episode once again, many thanks Guys, loved the Otters , tips apply to most shy wildlife even in Australia !, and really great segment on DoF, loved the Triangle relating to Circles of confusion . Keep up the great work.

[@seanmangan2769]

Thank you so much for sharing all the good information.🤗

[@PhotographyOnline]

Cheers Sean

[@Adam_Birch]

Absolute top quality. Best and most professional channel I’ve seen to date. Look forward to this every month... and the odd extra bonus in between. 🙌🏼

[@travelingtricia]

This was such a great find! Thank you for great content and so much variety! Cheers from Monmouth, Wales

[@charleskronvall8735]

Thought that I understood "depth of field", but found the technical explanation in this month's piece enlightening--especially so for a recently retired Engineer. Have enjoyed each one of the features and look forward to see what's next. (from eastern Washington where the Columbia, Snake and Yakima Rivers meet) PS The Scottish tourism department should be paying you all handsomely as you are great ambassadors for your fine land!

[@boydstokes8177]

Another great episode, Informative, fun and inspiring. Really enjoyed. Keep up the good work. 'til next we meet, Slainte.

[@Excavator99]

Thoroughly enjoyed the episode just like the past ones. Can't wait for next month's video.

[@David_Nurse]

Great video once again. The DOF feature was first class, best I've seen. Thanks.
