So glad you still manage to come up with fresh new content 11 years after the first upload! Taught me everything I know and heres to the next 11 years and beyond! Many thanks for all your enthusiasm and drive Mike, you have changed the lives of 100's if not 1000's of us. Eternally grateful, Your Loyal Students :)

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you for your kind words and for sticking around Lee... MIKE :-)

[@mrki412]

Same here, from all YT videos and channels I simply love honesty in Mikes videos and that he started from small bits and pieces. I learned everything from you Mike!

[@CraigSperringPhotography]

"But first I want to show you my camera being a complete and utter c*ck" Absolute LEGEND! lol

[@MikeBrowne]

:-)

[@Crutch456]

I have to tell you, I really started to take my photography seriously once I found your videos way back when. You helped me a great deal, like someone who is right beside me talking to me, not judging etc. Thanks for keeping it real, many others on the internet could learn from your kind, gracious approach. Thank you!

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you Crutch456... MIKE

[@MrTurnturtle]

Thanks Mike ." Most important of photography is YOU" What an encouragement to keep learning.

[@MikeBrowne]

My pleasure! ... MIKE 🙏🙂

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

Seriously best teacher ever

[@MikeBrowne]

🐍 , Thank you!

[@herminigildojakosalem8664]

I like this video, of course. Take Mike's "tips" to heart and you're on your way into your "photography" journey. Again, thank you Mr. Browne.

[@MrWozzafive]

Mike you are one in a million. Best photography teacher I know.

[@alunrees3056]

I’ve watched this video a few times now and have recommended to many people. I find it to be the most useful resource to understanding the what light meter actually is telling me and how to select the appropriate exposure settings for the scene and what I want to capture. Plus I like hearing Mike calling his camera names. Thanks Mike!

[@innercityunit2112]

Once again, a great video tutorial and always a pleasure to watch, for photographers of all abilities...A really direct and concise way of getting the important information across, without being 'preachy' or condescending...it's super easy to watch and get engaged with and one will always pick things up much more quickly as a result...and I think a really important point of this video, when the basics are mastered and you are comfortable with and can control your camera (and the points you mention and to master are obviously the foundation on which to launch forwards and build on as a photographer), is the super-important part of 'you', the individual, in the development and progression of your photography...I see so many people obsessed with the latest kit, accessories, software etc etc, as if this was the golden key to the magic door of photography.."get the latest camera, get the latest gizmo, get the latest upgrade and all will be great."...of course you need the latest upgrades to software like Lightroom and Photoshop etc, if you have it, but don't become gear obsessed and think the really great camera you had a couple of years ago and loved is all of a sudden obsolete and no good, because a sparkly brand new one has just been released, unless you have really deep pockets. Only yesterday I was looking at various KZbin videos on the new Canon 90D release and was stunned by some of the comments... In my opinion, learn the absolute essential basics as Mike says, get some decent kit (and it doesn't have to cost a fortune), a decent entry level DSLR, 18-135mm kit lens (or an 18-55), 64MB memory card, tripod, shutter release cable, camera bag and a few other accessories, will get you started!..get out, learn the basics and take photos and practice! If you are a beginner in photography, follow the basics Mike has laid out here, track down some stuff on basic composition, framing and the importance of light, again, no doubt Mike will have these in his videos and courses, and you will have a nice platform to launch your photography adventure...enjoy and take photos!...practice, practice, practice!!! Nice job Mike...……………….and thankfully, no mind-numbingly inane music in Mike's videos! Mmmm, Mike's videos concise and to the point and my KZbin comments not..ah well...lol

[@AmitChivilkar]

Great Video! Your videos are always helpful to me as beginner photographer. Thanks Mike!

[@docholliday1811]

You are awesome Mike, I learn so much from you! Thank you!!

[@dougmckillop9352]

Love your clear reminders of the basics. Those beyond beginner stage know all this but it is so easy to forget to apply the points you make every time shooting!

[@jefffiles9209]

Ahh Mike, this video should be issued with every camera sold! Direct, to the point and easy to understand, trade mark of your videos. A must watch for those stuck to auto, ps love the bike. Cheers to you & the team.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you Jeff... MIKE :-)

[@brianbrooking496]

Mr Browne, you keep dropping sprinkles of gold dust, and I keep picking them up! Your ability to talk fluently about technical matters is second to none. Another masterpiece to assist many people like myself. I admire your teaching style which is clearly true to yourself, enjoy the simplistic way in which you describe these technical matters. As well as learning about photography you have me searching my camera trying to figure out where certain things are (continuous focus v whatever else there is) loved the example at the end of shooting with 200 and the creative effect it had on the image. Again, thank you so much

[@MikeBrowne]

🙏 Thank you Brian. Delighted to have helped. Please share the vid around and help me make more like it... Stay well buddy... MIKE 🙂

[@danielsahagun4367]

Mr. Browne: I don’t quite know the words to say my thanks and gratefulness, your lesson is just amazing. This was a pleasure to watch your video and I got to much information to use. Thanks again Sir

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks for the kind comments Daniel

[@earavichandran]

Excellent guide video. I said icing on the cake. You have already done lots of video related this. This one is like abstract of a research paper, telling important controls of the camera and how to use it effectively. Thanks for your great effort in making this video and allign the concepts in particular order.

[@silviuvarzaru9664]

Cool stuff as always. You make things look so simple and in fact they really are simple. There is no bad camera, it's always bad setting.

[@MoranGuyVideos]

This is a great video to begginers and experience as well. Its all about how you control the camera and not the specific model or lens. I have old dslr and once learned those things and how to build a picture properly expose and framed , I'm getting amazing pictures.

[@peterrennison465]

Clear, concise and invaluable in formation Mike. I particularly found number 6 “focal length” of great interest and helped me with my lack of understanding of how creative the compression aspect can be if used correctly.

I think the first video I saw of you was the rule of thirds and I still remember it and follow it today! 9 yrs later. Good vid Mike. Your location was actually something I was thinking of asking you to do one day, some nice port photography ;-)

I really appreciate how you focus (pun intended) on the person behind the camera as the creator, and the camera as the tool.

Thanks Martin. It was ever thus. Did Leonado Da Vincis brushes paint the Mona Lisa? Does the Steinway Grand Piano rate a standing ovation or the person playing it. Photography's no different regardless of the internet rumours and marketing hype.. MIKE :-)

[@PhotographsFromGraeme]

As always brilliant video and very helpful

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

Well done. This is on subject that is difficult for many. For still photography these are must know. But for fast pace shooting you need to commit to something. I use comp button and the histogram on all my pic for a quick glance and quick changes.

[@tectorama]

Great to see an updated video in a lovely location. It reminds me of our holiday last year. Doing mostly wildlife photography, I don't have much choice but to use manual mode. Birds don't always sit on a branch with the light on them. Or if they do, there can be a bright sky behind them. Then the next shot will be on a dark bush in a shadow. It's knowing how to cope with different conditions, quickly. Mastering the exposure triangle is a must, it comes with practice. Exposure compensation can be handy, just remember to reset it afterwards.. I've been caught out a couple of times by forgetting to do that..... Great video Mike......Alan............ PS, nice bike

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank Alan. Hope you're keeping well... MIKE

[@mykromacro4599]

Good to be reminded that those old classic photographs that we still admire today were taken with very basic cameras 'lacking' most of the controls today's cameras have. Less is more - its not the gear but what you can do with it.

Fantastic as always and filmed in one of my favourite places!
