Top Leica Photos of 2023 (and First-Year YouTube Reflections)

[@thomassarver7638]

Enjoyed your videos throughout 2023 and looking forward to to more in 2024. Have a very blessed 2024.

[@davidherring]

Thank you! Happy New Year!

Your Olympic national park pics depressed me. I was there a week before you and your pics were so much better. I told my girlfriend that now I have to go back to redeem myself LOL😆

[@davidherring]

Lol nah I just had great lighting and conditions!

[@AramLanghans]

Have been enjoying your videos. Congrats on the first year. One criticism of this one, however. If your purpose in making this video is to show your top photos for the year, then please show more of the photos and less of you talking. The photos are on the screen for such a short period of time it is hard to appreciate them. I like what you are saying but we don't have to see you say it when we are trying to appreciate the photos, which are really very nice. Just narrate in the background. We'll see what you do for the best of 2024.

[@davidherring]

Thanks for the feedback ✌🏼

[@georgewhite6164]

Show the photos bro... too much b roll talking... show the photos

[@davidherring]

Sorry I didn't make my video the way you would have wanted me to.

[@PeterbFree]

@@davidherring Well, you can take that more than one way. I would say he wanted to see your work for longer. I know I did, it's great work, and seeing each image for longer would definitely be appreciated. Its a compliment 👍

[@JonLarson-kx1ed]

Great presentation, outstanding photos, thank you.I too am as of this year on the bandwagon with Leica, the Q2 and the sl2s camera. Thank you for the great evening, I'll be watching for you.

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much!

[@brauer87]

Glad I came across your channel this year! 😃 I hope you get a lot of great experiences in 2024 too 🎉

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much!

[@davide88rn]

Nice video! Can I ask you which lenses do you use on Leica M system for landscapes? Thanks. I have my m10R and want to start again landscapes but only have a 28 and 50

[@davidherring]

I have the 35 Summilux on the camera 90% of the time!

[@davide88rn]

@@davidherring thanks!!

[@leejaved4183]

Wonderful video. We’re all of these photos shot with the Leica q2?

[@davidherring]

No, just a few honestly. Most of these are the M10R.

Just discovered your channel and enjoy the content. Keep it up 👍

[@davidherring]

Thanks!

[@lucianoborgna9677]

enjoy your video. happy new year. from Italy 🇮🇹

[@davidherring]

Thank you! Happy new year to you!

[@Kalama_Llama_King_Kong]

Blue hour! Great work. Fantastic video

[@davidherring]

Thank you!

[@aumdum11]

One thing I can say is your Portra 400 preset is the closet thing on earth to the actual Portra 400 film. I don't normally leave comments on youtube and even though I had a little bit of problem after purchasing your preset, it was swiftly taken care of with an immediate response from you. And right now I am the happiest man on earth who can shoot digital and have a film-look result with just a few clicks in Lightroom. Thank you for creating the Portra 400 preset and inspiring me through your youtube channel. Happy New Year from Thailand, Dave!

[@davidherring]

This comment means the world to me!

[@mikemassa6143]

I shot a leica iiiF for a long time and im really exploring the possibilities to get into the M systems this year. I enjoy your detailed videos because i get to see all the goods and bads of these systems. Thanks for the content man!

[@davidherring]

Thank you! I always try to be honest about cameras!

[@ab185]

Great video and great shots!

[@davidherring]

Thank you!

[@forgottenamericana]

Congrats on a great year Dave!!! It was exciting to watch your channel grow and see you tweak your content. You are a great example that the M system can be very versatile. Your work carries much inspiration to get out and shoot. My favorite videos from you is when you go out explore something new and hang with cool people and do photography. Awesome

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words and for your longevity on my channel so far!

[@TonyNomadic]

Congrats!!! You and your channel has been instrumental for me since I’ve come across it. Looking forward to see where you to take it 🙌🏽

[@davidherring]

That means so much to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@matthiaswinges9399]

Thanks for sharing!

[@davidherring]

Always!

[@kidnoble]

Happy new year!

[@davidherring]

Same to you!

[@rudigerwolf9626]

Dave, Thank-you! Happy New Year. I look forward to watching your channel in 2024! You have made me re-appreciate my Leica equipment!

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much! Appreciate it!

[@simonbnyc]

Congratulations on one year of videos from a fellow Leica shooter! I've been encouraged and inspired by so many of your posts so I look forward to many more in 2024. Oh, and as for those toxic, negative posters, they're just dweebs and losers so ignore them. Keep on keepin' on!

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Excited for what’s ahead!

[@Dan1234-m5p]

Well done Dave! I’ve really enjoyed your videos and photography. It’s influencing me more and more in how and what I shoot. From Australia, cheers!

[@davidherring]

Appreciate it! Keep at it!

[@DamienOnTheGo]

You uploaded this at a perfect time for me. I'm having my morning coffee relaxing as the day starts and enjoying your commentary and your photos. Great job and congrats on your first-year on YT. I'm hoping the introvert in me lets me create on YT and share but for now I'm happy to just enjoy great content like yours and a few others. I just purchased my first Leica (Q3) and it should be arriving soon so I can't wait to implement a few of your presets I purchased on the Leica system. Thanks again and keep doing you! Cheers to a new year!

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much! Happy new year to you!

[@mattndeedeegardner7471]

Best wishes, I've been on my first year journey with Leica as well. I also loved helping you help the children with my small donation.

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

[@jdsd771007]

The video you did with Dwayne was one of my favorites! Such a cool experience 👍 Congrats on a killer first year! Look forward to seeing what 2024 brings for you!

[@davidherring]

Thanks! That's one of my favorites too.

[@MKWHD]

I am also a Leica user and the M11 is my favorite camera. Love it. Very good feeling when shooting with it. Your photos are excellent. Especially those from the dolomites. I long for the alps when I see them.

[@davidherring]

Thanks for sharing! Photos of big mountains for the win!

[@A1000Truths]

Awesome channel, your videos are so sincere and more about the art of photography which I feel a lot of other photography channels lack. I like the idea of just shooting Leica for a year. Like you I own other camera brands but really enjoy the Leica M11 and M6 experience. Maybe i’ll stick with that combo primary for the new year.

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@derekharper6327]

Really enjoyed your videos this year, I work as a photographer and looking to purchase a Leica sometime in the near future, so your videos have been a good insight🙂

[@davidherring]

Thanks!

[@Monochromatic77]

great shots! I may be biased but they all had that Leica look to me. Looking forward to your next videos

[@davidherring]

Thank you!

[@batek_666]

The first shot hit me hard. Really great work man. Keep on going!

[@davidherring]

Thanks so much!
