Nice! I frequently used a 6 and 10-stop ND when I lived near the beach. I'll break it out occasionally when visiting one of the local marinas. You're right; the viewcatcher is a bit small. Good to hear from you, buddy! Take care.

Fantastic video, i really like the colour version but i also love the contrast in the black and white 😊

Good idea with the picture frame Glenn. Good to see you back out again using the trusty 10 stop filter mate!

Hi Glenn! A very informative video! The picture frame is a very great idea! I never thought about using one! Stay well and safe! Best, Duane

Fantastic photos Glenn. I waited until the end of your talk before I viewed them and yep, you nailed it. Thanks for the great information too. The frame, a great idea. ND filters are something that I've had no real world experience with, however I'm going to start using them. I've seen some photos of incredibly busy motorways and crowd scenes taken using an ND filter and there's no traffic or people to be seen at all. Great photos. Thanks as always Glenn. Sean.

Thank you for this instruction. I have found a used Bower branded 24mm f3.5 tilt shift for $450.00 US. I think this would be a great addition to my kit.

I've had mine 5 years now great for snow boot any all weather any thing wet or messy

I've never seen any of your videos, but this came up when I was looking for an alternative to a pan and tilt head, and thank you, I hated every ball head I've ever had, no matter the price, which is why I got a fluid head, but it's anything but fluid. 😂

Hi Glenn! I hope you're doing well and have mended from your medical situation! I always enjoy your teaching videos. They make me think on how to make my photos better! Take care my friend! Best, Duane

I'm 58 years old. I finally purchased a Canon EOS 1500D with 2 lenses. I'll have to venture there to photograph. I'm happy to discover your channel.

Surprisingly unclear! I have 3 T-S lenses and was waiting for the “change the tilt button” or “change the shift button”. My guess is that your focussing technique will not work for 45mm and longer, but I’ll try it out since no one else has suggested this method...

I will get mine tomorrow :) I only have one point of constructive critique here, that's to avoid the sky with buildings and other straight things in your frame, tilting the camera forward makes your lines fall. In this case, you better adjust the height of your tripod by lowering the center column just a bit (if your tripod has one) or shorten the legs by a fraction. Then you keep your lines straight.

Good information, I've taken heed of your videos and experienced the results especially looking and taking in the area prior to and during the shoot and especially after when you think it's done and on the leaving look back and you'll see something else. Your a great tutor Glenn just stay healthy and keep on doing your thing.

Great tutorial Glenn. I always learn a lot from your videos and they certainly put me on the right track to better photography. Thank you as always. Sean.

Seems like by what you're saying is the "TYPE" of photography you do the camera needs to be perfectly level and straight like if you're shooting architectural compositions, do you take pictures of objects that move like people or animals heck even landscapes ballheads are more versatile that's why they're so popular. Many instances while out with your gear you have to get a shot quickly before it's gone. Maybe you should have clarified what "type" of photography you shoot. I'd like to know.

Good to see you back. I definitely wondered several times if you'd stopped UA-cam, but it's good to see you back. Glad to hear the cough is mostly behind you too. Looking forward to seeing more of that wonderful place you call home. :)

Welcome back, I am glad to hear that you have recovered from your nasty cough. I look forward to seeing more of you videos in the future.

Sorry to hear about that nagging cough! I'm sure glad to see you back in the saddle. I thought about reaching out to you last week; I should've sent you an email. Anyway, I'm glad you're doing better, and I'm looking forward to the next video. Thanks for the update. It's great to have you back. Take care, buddy!

I'd wondered where you'd been! I hope the cough stays away and that you're well on your way to being back to normal! And you made a Canada/US trip? How was that?

Great to see you back mate 👍 Sorry to hear you have gone through that bad cough for so long but also glad to hear you are at least 95% over it now. I loved checking out the photos from overseas in Canada and the USA. Look forward to your upcoming videos as always 👍 Take can mate....

I was wondering where you had been🤔 I'm glad to see you back and feeling better, mate.

Good to know you're not in a coughin....

Great to see you back Glenn. Did you ever pinpoint the cause of your cough? I was wondering what was happening with you. I've been re-watching some of your videos and ended up buying one of the carbon fibre tripods (The smaller of the two, that you use) and a pan and tilt head - both Innorel brand. Crikey, what a difference they make. My other tripod is 45 years old bought in '79. Glad that you've recovered and are back in action. Cheers, Sean.

Hi Glenn! I have been wondering about you and was hoping you were well! Was quite happy to see your video pop up! Stay safe my friend! Best, Duane

Which brand of nodal rail head do you use?

Rightly so about the ball heads. I only used for space saving on medium format press on a monopod as a better the leaning on someone or a bench as I get random quick movement but hardly anything precise. Just ok. The Gitzo offset ball is ok but kinda bulky for its class. G1576

Blooming brilliant. I was looking at the LeoFoto VH20LR for a medium format press on a monopod. Have you compared others in this class? I like the ergonomics of the Promedia HM1 with friction tilt & lock?

If you like tripods, you have to try one from Induro, i use the Induro GIT504L Grand Series 5 Stealth Carbon Fiber, that's a beast too, it can hold 42 kilo... i'm still a DSLR user, Canon 1DX- Mark II with the EF500MM F/4 IS, and that's a big weight, but no problems at all, only minus is that the Induro weights 3.2 kilo by it self... 🤭

Thanks, nice video, i've been looking for something about the VX30, but i think by now you've found out that the top knob is not for the safety but for panning... ? 😉

Thank you for detailed review! And really beautiful nature in your location 😊😊 Subscribe!

Is the Leofoto VH-30R still made? Can't find it anywhere. Including Leofoto.

This is the best legs I've had for big lenses for video in decades, after Sachtler. With a Sony 200-600 and a Nitro head it is damn stable. Hard to say but it is Chinese good tripod....www.youtube.com/@CarloFerraro

I Like the Idea, today you would Focus stack

Nice Setup IS the 70-200 with IS?

Anyone have experience using a 3 way like the leofoto G4 or arca Swiss d4, vs using a ball head like the arca swiss po monofix hybrid / or a ball head with an additional compact 3 way attached like the leofoto G2 ?

The 10-18 is anything but a kit Lens. Nice video

You own an 24-105 and a 100-400 so 70-200 is redundant, also having 17-40 and 16-35 is redundant. I assume you will retire the 17-40 or give back the 16-35!duentonthe weight. Which brings it diwn to 5 lenses.

I've read reviews of the Samyang and a lot of people are of the opinion it is only good at f8 or f11, what is your findings with it as i am looking at getting a samyang myself. Good video explaining the benefits of the tilt shift.

can you use an adjustable center column with this kind of head?

Thanks mate another great honest heart to heart talk about camera gear. I find it curious that with all the modern tech going into the latest camera the second hand market is booming in film cameras. It would be interesting to see a break down of age groups and what each age group is buying today. Keep going mate you have a message that needs to be heard

Thank you for an Honest talk about gear and the art of photography. I learnt on a film camera ( an old Pentax SF7), and currently use a Nikon F5 and just love the mystery and expectation of having my film come back processed and images scanned. I think there are 2 types of photographers those who love and practice the art and those who are simply camera show offs. Do painters worship their paint brushes or carpenters worship their hammers? Cameras are simply a tool we use to create images we love in an art form we enjoy

Great advice again Glenn. I had my crop sensor and third party lenses for 6 years( I am a slow learner 😅) Still to this day some of my best images through making mistakes and learning from them. 😊 All the best mate.

You hit the nail on the head with this video. Though I have all my pro cameras sand lenses but I bought them used. Your video is spot on though and I agree with you.

APS-C have much cheaper glass, I actually test now some APS-C camera as I thought might actually scale down from FF because relatively good glass is so easy to get, it took me few days of shooting to actually notice some differences between ability of each (it's worth noting I don't use whole equivalent logic, because it's just a different crop). Generally controls make most difference for me as I'd rather shoot comfortably than have perfect picture, then there is slight difference in dynamic range, I'm not able to recover as much data from shadows and highlights, but generally as far as picture is well exposed there is no actual difference. Very good point about not spending too much from the start, I probably spent more than I should when I had initially no idea what I want to do with photography, my recommendation to any new photographer would be any camera be it crop or FF with kit lens, and one fast prime 35-50mm to have something for better separation. Also about kit lenses, apart from less than perfect F-stop, they are usually very good for the price, they usually come with stabilization, and have pretty close minimal focusing distance which usually people forget, but they tend to be rather good to get some serious closeups (not the macro level but still way better than any prime usually), and since they are make by your camera manufacturer, they are relatively good with AF, when I was getting a6400 recently I got it with kit for cheaper than body, so in some cases you can even save money by getting kit apparently.

I really like your approach to the gear in this video. It is definitely about the photographer, not so much the gear. Cheers from Norway

And I use a Nikon D5000, D90, and last December I acquired a D7200, all good machines.

Double digit Canon DSLRs still count as pretty high end to me ;) That said, it's the lenses which make it so fair dos using a kit lens.

Glenn your philosophy is truly on the money. I use old Fuji crop sensor cameras and lenses, sometimes ancient Nikkor lenses as well. The thing is, like you say, it comes down to knowing how to actually use the equipment and the science behind it. Those images at the end of the video reminded me of an afternoon I spent at Somerby Falls back in May of '17 just photographing the falls, experimenting with light, aperture and shutter speed...... Great day. Thanks again for your sharing your great knowledge. Cheers, Sean.

Hi Glenn...Another great teaching video!! You have a great technique in educating photographers in being great photographers with basic equipment!! You're very correct when you say it's the person behind the camera that makes a great photo!! I am curious if your camera has a CMOS or CCD sensor?? On another note my doctor believes I'm in remission. So now I will have just regular check ups. Best, Duane

Very true and informative,I use my 2nd hand Canon 6D and 40mm pancake lens with it and I am very happy with the results.
