PhotoPills Friday Ep 2: Understanding the PLANNER

[@markgilder9990]

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

[@real1861a]

Hi Brenda I had watched your videos a few years ago and was supremely impressed but my life was stopping me from being able to get into photography. I am now returning to you like a long-lost friend and hoping you are well. You are one of the most articulate speakers I have ever listened to (no Ummms or Ahhhs or meandering and loss of train of thought). You are simply brilliant. Thank you 😊

[@TomGibson7777TG]

Found this by accident and great!!. Just what I need but need a faster brain to keep up with your Vermont one or somewhere in New England. Use to live in Norwich. Thanks

[@luigidimeglio9167]

These videos are going to be tedious to make, but a total game changer. The photography world thanks you!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

That means a lot, Luigi! I'm hoping to end PhotoPills confusion! :)

[@preven2296]

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!

[@DanaPushie]

Hi Brenda, Your PhotoPills episodes are fantastic. Not wanting to be someone who just claims 'I have that app' I finally found your clear, bite sized videos and downloaded the app so I copuld follow along as you go through the episodes. As a beginner with the app it is packed with more tools than I could wrap my head around. Thank you for taking on the task of explaining PhotoPills and doing a stellar job as well.

[@brianbrooking496]

Wooaahhhhh Brenda, never noticed how fast you speak, what’s the rush? That was faster than Rafael from PhotoPills 😉. That was info overload at Warp speed...... now go take a breath and thanks for another fantastic vlog. I’ll need to watch in slow motion so my brain can catch up... my processor is a little slow.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

LOL - sorry about that! Not sure what got into me in that video. Too much coffee perhaps... Hopefully, the next ones were better paced :).

[@brianbrooking496]

Outdoor Photography School with Brenda Petrella must be the “ol Tim Hortons” caffeine overload...

[@sailslikeagirl3154]

Thank you looking forward to the next video. Good to listen to someone who knows how to use the app.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Great! Glad it was helpful!

[@bruceprichard2996]

Well done Brenda, thank you, see you next Friday

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Sounds good - thanks!

[@stevemcbeyphoto]

Keep them coming Brenda, great tutorial! 👍🏼📷🇦🇺

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Glad it was helpful!

[@charlenenagel7962]

Hi Brenda. You are such a good teacher! Thanks for breaking this up into bite sized pieces. It's making more sense already!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Hooooray! That's great, Charlene!

[@dsrjohnstone]

Fantastic resource. Much easier to understand than the PhotoPills team. Thank you!

[@richardbatcheldor9225]

This should be both fun and educational. Thank you.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Here's hoping! :)

[@avinashci]

OMG!!! Awesome information. These buttons and features were always confusing. Getting clearer now. Keep them coming. Enjoying your videos.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

I'm so glad the videos are helping to clear things up!

[@Matt-eq1yd]

You explain everything so well and your voice for some reason is very soothing! Subscribed!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Oh thank you! :)

[@kaciecrisp3399]

Definitely a required mass of information. I set the speed to 75% because it's so complicated and you talk so fast. Even then, I kept stopping and replaying. Awesome and what would it take to have this SLOWER?

[@louspeed1]

There are a LOT of features in this app; thanks for starting this series to break it all down for us!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

You bet! I'm glad it's helping already.

[@txpetbb]

I really appreciate the video and it is helping me understand Photopills that I bought a few months ago and haven't figured out how to use yet. One comment - not meant as a criticism - Brenda, you talk fast! You obviously are not here from Texas! I'll adjust and plan on watching each video twice. Keep the education coming. Thanks.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Thanks for the feedback! I also noticed that I was talking quickly in this video, so I apologize. I'll try to pace it out better going forward. Glad you are finding them helpful!

[@ktodoma]

Thank you once again Very helpful

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

You bet!

[@sccjono]

You confused me for a while because Norwich is one of the flattest cities in the UK. Haha. Love these tutorials, you're demystifying a great app.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Ha - right! That would be confusing!

[@alnmp7541]

Thanks I'm now exploring more the planner and answering the question of one guy here, yes you can use it without internet I have used it in that way and works perfectly! Great video!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Awesome! And thanks for answering that question!

[@alnmp7541]

@@outdoorphotographyschool7366 YW!

[@stanburman9978]

Hooyah! I opened the app and navigated. There is hope. Thank you.

[@fletcherbrown728]

Brenda. You know what your doing and you know how to teach. I am in awe of your knowledge and professionalism. After three years of photopills on my phone I am only now starting to get an inkling of how powerful it is and how to use it. Thank you so much for your very hard work and excellent presentation.

[@jorgeflores9714]

Thanks Brenda, I have this PhotoPills a long time ago and now with your videos I have started to use and understand it. Cheers

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

That's great to hear!

[@spmartin]

Thanks for these videos. You are a wonderful teacher!

[@alanbutler3734]

Brenda, PhotoPills has been on my phone for ages, but I have never figured out where to start learning. I have only seen the first two episodes to date, but I am already beginning to find my own way around. It’s great that the videos are relatively short - bite sized. There is not too much to take in at a time, but enough to let me go away and practise and learn. Thanks, I look forward to future episodes. Alan.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Wonderful! So very glad to hear that!

[@lemaitrethemonk]

Thank you for taking the time and explaining, in detail, this application. For a beginner like myself who is new to photography. This entire series was invaluable.

[@petebarone9907]

B, this is awesome.... thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

You bet, Pete - I'm glad the videos will be helpful!

[@Caspar0809]

I do love your videos

[@dwarfusinterruptus9314]

Hi I just found out about this app and downloaded it. And you are right, super hard and overwhelming to navigate. So your videos are helpful. BUTTTTT.... Can you please slow down. I like (and I think many others as well) to work in photopills doing the same things as you. Your speed makes me rewind more than I would like.

[@billp8944]

This is a great series Brenda .. thank you

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

You're very welcome! Glad you are enjoying them.

[@jimsjourney3926]

How I love PhotoPills Friday! Another great tutorial and it's great to follow along with my phone too! Thank you so much, stay well and healthy!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Excellent! And your excitement made my day! : )

Great video's Brenda. I have attempted to use PhotoPills in the past but have not had much success. Thanks for the great info. Looking for future videos.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

[@7775Kevin]

Great video series! Thanks so much.

THANK YOU THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤

[@joetagg1961]

Wow, that’s a lot of info. Thanks for doing these videos. I’m learning a lot !!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

I'm so glad to hear that - thanks, Joseph!

[@Festvangelist]

Unfortunately the Terrain Layer does not work on the iPhone11 but it ( Terrain Layer) does work on my iPad. However the Terrain layer works on my iPhone when I do not have the PhotoPills App on. Perhaps a later video will help me resolve this issue. When planning my trip to the Alps the Terrain Layer is extremely important to get a sense of how easy or hard the area is to navigate, dramatic composition, etc. Looking forward to learning more. Great content…

[@helencogan2187]

Great job..thank you!

[@raewebb6365]

Love Photo pills Friday and also appreciated the Tick Info

Good! I'm glad the article was helpful too.

Thank you for your great educational videos. May I ask about your self vlogging setup, both at home and in the field?

[@matzemoller.fotograf]

Thx. Perfect.

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

You bet.

[@antonioquiroz4]

I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU . . . and this YouTUBE station!! Bless YOUR H E A R T Darlin' . . . . .

[@guykerr8111]

Not sure if I missed it in first video but one of my issues is how do I use features when I have no internet connection - as often happens here in western Canada in spite of what the internet companies tell us. Good review, thanks.

[@clacla1968]

Almost all features on P.Pills work without internet connection. The only important thing is to open a plan, or a map when you have connection (maybe home, for example) and not close the app for as long as you need to use it . I often open photo pills before leaving home and go to a spot where I fear there'll be no internet connection. Hopefully the app does'n crash, otherwise ....

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Thanks for helping Guy out! Perhaps going over what features are available or not without internet would be a good future topic for PhotoPills Friday.

[@clacla1968]

@@outdoorphotographyschool7366 No problem Brenda! Thank you for these videos on P.Pills btw. I've been using the app for quite a while , but it's good to "refresh" every now and then and you always learn something more, it has so many features and tools!

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

@@clacla1968 Oh good! I'm glad you can still get something out of them!

[@myalias111]

I really love your videos. Do you offer any on location landscape workshops?

[@Mr09260]

Great Video ..So much for an old timer to digest ..Does it all work in the Southern hemisphere??

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

Yep! The app works anywhere in the world. You'll notice in future videos as we talk about the map layers that the paths the sun and moon take over time will look like they go in the opposite direction for you than for me. Otherwise, the features and whatnot are the same.

[@louiseroherty4694]

HI Brenda, I've had the app for quite some time now and am so glad I have found you to help me to understand this great app. Is there a certain site I need to access to update it?

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

So glad that the videos will help you! You should be able to update the app from within your app store - wherever you downloaded it from (apple or googleplay).

[@maytube102]

wow, thank you. I purchased this app for over a year and haven't used it because of its complexity. does it offer to download a map for offline use at location w/ no cell signal?

[@afshinz.k4518]

I'd like to know more about map bar icons

[@gregjundanian8284]

PhotoPills is just brutal to use.

[@Festvangelist]

Just downloaded the PhotoPills App. However there seems to be a disconnect between your iPhone 14 and the iPhone 11. I will keep watching and do what I can…for example on the bottom of the Map Section you show 3 icons, I only have 2. Perhaps you might have another option for iPhone 11. ,

[@reggieblair1368]

Can you explain what version of photopills did you use in episode 5 , map option ?

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

The version I currently have is 2.11.6. I'm not sure whether that was the same version I used when I created this video since I have it to automatically update.

[@billcubitt9456]

I have no Red Pin displayed. You only say that I should have one. Why do I not have one?

[@petergeernaert4696]

Wow, you are talking very fast for this not native speaker. The pause button is used frequently. But thank you for the information

[@JillHasstedt]

When I click on the Satllite map it does not come up in Androis, Samsung s22. The other maps work.

[@DTCCScorer-mw4hb]

I have the Samsung S23 Ultra and the Satellite appears fine.

[@slick8086]

This is a great playlist except for the videos are listed backward, please fix.

[@robertstancer4469]

You sure you're not sponsored little'n?

[@outdoorphotographyschool7366]

I'm quite sure :).

[@pjrodmd]

Too bad the developers do not provide the information required to navigate the system like you do.Have you considered writing a book about it .I would be happy to pay for it and you deserve to get paid for it.Think about it. Thanks.!!

[@ramigrafx]

Very good, but why do you have to talk so fast. How can I watch the screen on my phone and watch you at the same time?

[@Flower-4300]

Hi Brenda I feel you give very important information, but for me , whose mother tongue is not English, you speak SO fast, that I almost give up...Do you think its possible to talk a little more slowly in the coming episodes ? Then I would be very thankful, and follow your teaching inPhotopills. Kind regards from Denmark .

[@caterinaborgna4773]

I find it helpful to activate the subtitles. And of course I love these videos and Brenda's way of explaining

[@petelarocca4395]

great but wish she would talk a little slower

[@janepordon6814]

Sorry but you talk too fast, my screen does not always look like yours, bars are not on mine very frustrating
