Merry Christmas, Adam. Thank you for all the interesting videos this year.

[@Twobarpsi]

Excellent video and Merry Christmas!

Quality headtorch is vital - Sofirn HS21 is High CRI, wide even flood, powerful spotlight or both, plus red light, which you switch with a rotary dial. 2200 lumens, USBC rechargeable. NO PWM (flicker) AT ALL and it's only £30 on Aliexpress!It's an absolute gem of a light.

[@petey318]

Looking forward to seeing your video(s) about making picture frames!

[@cmflyer]

Thanks, and happy holidays!

[@AndyBanner]

I set this running and got called away and came back to Andy Atkinson's image which I am familiar with. I've let him know you've giving him a shoutout. All the best, Adam.

[@DaneBrammage]

Cheers mate and merry Christmas, good video and you actually listed a few things that I don’t have.

[@andrewatkinsonfineartlands5237]

Hey Adam. Hope you are well. Lovely to see my work on your channel

[@StevePorter_au]

Great video. Regarding Polaroids, have you ever thought of getting an old medium format camera and a Polaroid back? It's a bit heavy, I know, but the results are great.

[@wimscheenen3535]

I have the Canon SELPHY QX10 and it accompanies me on most of my trips now. Exactly for the reasons you mention 👍🏻

[@Firstmanphotography]

Excited to hear this. Confirmed I’m gonna purchase.

[@SpudUna]

Having owned several pinhole cameras. Including Ondu, which I consider the best. They are lovely ! I wouldn’t consider pinhole photography budget

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Ulanzi dust blower ... You can clean all of your camera gear easily and including your sensor it's kind of like a little mini vacuum cleaner.It's brilliant.

[@cdduffy]

Gaiters are a great last minute gift idea haha ! Merry Christmas Adam 💪

[@Firstmanphotography]

Ha ha ha ha. 🤣 Excellent suggestion. 2025 is gonna be the year.

[@cdduffy]

​@Firstmanphotography after all these years you still not got a pair lol

[@trevorsneath4665]

Let me recommend the Polaroid SX70 Land Camera Adam. TTL viewfinder. Pro class lens. And the SX70 film is a quality colour or B&W film. And it folds flat, which is handy in the camera bag. best wishes for the Christmas and new year to you and yours mate. It's been an enjoyable year watching your vids.

[@RickCarroll-Canada]

Merry Christmas Adam from Canada.

[@scotty4418]

What a lovely image by Andrew and likewise nor seeing as much of his work as I was once did. For Christmas, my lovely wife has bought me a 1.4x teleconverter and very much looking forward to using it with my 24mm tilt-shift as it will be like having an extra lens in the bag without the additional weight of another lens. As always Adam, it's been a pleasure following your work this year and was great to finally meet you in person a few months ago. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and look forward to following your adventures in 2025

[@gregl.7465]

Love your channel and content! But I always see that OM-10 in your videos... what's that about? I cut my teeth on OM system cameras (still have a few) and still love having them around and playing with them from time to time. Is that OM-10 an artifact from your early days of photography?

[@GabyRafaela-z7g]

I really appreciate your efforts! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@johnnyg3937]

What was it like drumming with Joy Division?

[@casperghst42]

Seen the prices of polaroid or instant film - that is for rich people or people who hardly ever takes a photo ?

[@Firstmanphotography]

As a landscape photographer, I definitely only fall into the second category there.

[@casperghst42]

@@Firstmanphotography I looked into Polaroid and Fuji Instax, it is approx. double the price for what I pay for film stock (35mm) at half the frame count. I do like Polaroid, it is a great way to show people the photo you took and with the support on 6x6 or 6x7 cameras it's just very neat. But I would not be able to afford it (sadly). But who would nok like a Hasselblad 50x with a Polariod back?

[@ifell3]

Just popping out to get my last minute gift 😅

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I have four TS-E lenses. If they're needed for buildings, then they're also needed for general landscapes. You don't have leukaemia. I won't be taking your fitness advice.

[@peterfritzphoto]

Thanks for a wonderful year of generous, empathetic, sharing of your skills and wisdom. Some great points in here, but stop talking about my fat gut! Happy New Year, old boy! 😄🦘👍🎉
