Good to see you out and about again Dan 👍👍 Sorry for your loss buddy, will catch up over the weekend mate 👊

the woodlands have always been fascinating to me. photography is a perfect fit for it.

Hi Dan. Hope you’re ok mate. Good to see you back. Always enjoy watching and seeing your photos. I been pretty busy and sorta out my own UA-cam on the shelf. But hopefully I can get out next week. Take care mate, shawn

Thank you I appreciate that, no I didn't, I got absolutely drenched but the gear was OK 😅 thanks for watching

I enjoyed the video and your 'why woodland photography' chat resonated with me. Well done. I hope you made it back to the car in time!

Another gorgeous video, no rushing about, I'm sitting with a nice coffee, while watching. Heavan. Regards Rob.

SO LOVELY TO SEE YOUR GREAT HEART ART AGAIN.HAVE MISSED YOU...MEOWY GREETINGS TO OREO...HAPPY SEPTEMBER TO YOU..FALL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 🎉

I’ve been looking forward to this. Sitting back and enjoying. Cheers Dan.

Such a beautiful day.

I've missed your videos lovely to see you back.

Good to see you back buddy, out and about enjoying life 👍 Don't forget to let me know when things fall into place 👌👌

I just love your relaxed style Dan. You had a gorgeous day there, those grass shots are beautiful. Catching atmosphere, shadow and light shift, yeh it's freedom, thanks Dan. Regards Rob.

Opened UA-cam and saw this at the top of my recommendations- not my usual type of content but no regrets! The way you capture the simplicity and yet also the depth of the countryside we are lucky to inhabit is truly inspirational, thank you.

Some lovely intimate shots Dan, and what a magnificent display of Foxgloves! Looks like you were enjoying some "ParkLife" lol

Hi Dan, I've been using a Zomie ball head tripod for four years now, which I paid around 70 quid for. I've have no wear/tear or quality issues with this tripod. It serves me well, I also use a standard pan and tilt head (with short handle) on the tripod too. Great video once again, many thanks. Regards Rob.

Hi Dan Just found your channel ! I am a real novice , and have found some aspects of photography a bit confusing. I really enjoyed the way you simplify what some people over explain.I will be following you from now on. Good luck with the channel .Look forward to the next video. 👍

First, let me thank you for the video. May I ask that you update your terminology though? There are many discussions on this topic, but I find the message has still not reached some. First, there is no such thing as an "exposure triangle" in digital photography. The only thing that determines exposure is the aperture and shutter speed. ISO is simply post-exposure amplification or gain (i.e. brightness). If you want to call it the photography triangle (as the term was first coined in the 2000s), explaining that ISO (in nearly all cases) just increases or decreases amplification of signal and noise, then go ahead. Major photography channels and the Explorer's of Light or Ambassadors never use the term "exposure triangle". Speaking on Aperture, Karl Taylor explains the concept correctly @ 1:20 into the video. ua-cam.com/video/jkEuoTcXNeA/v-deo.html Lastly, I'm not a physics major, but I believe you start suffering the effects of diffraction essentially every time you close the lens down at all. It's just that you do not see its effects,, until you reach a certain point (camera sensor, lens and subject dependent). In this demo, I don't believe I heard you mention your focal length - which of course also would change the effective depth of field. Again, thank you for your efforts. As to the question you pose in the video. I'm just a beginner photographer. If we exclude from the discussion choosing aperture for exposure reasons (i.e. we need more or less light - and shutter speed will not get us there), then, in general, if you want to isolate and highlight a part of the image, because that's what is important, then shallow DOF helps you achieve that. However, if many of the elements in the image are the story (i.e. expertly done by Alex Webb), then a greater DOF might help you visually achieve this. Simply put, in my mind, DOF can help change the emotion associated with an image (i.e. isolation or inclusion). This is the art of photography, and the choice of the artist. What say you?

Another good video and tips.

Good video and great examples on how the aperture works. I am learning photography and this was very help full. Just subscribed.

I thought this was great thank you for posting and love the music choice too!

Very enjoyable! I really like your adaptability to the kit and the environment. Still learning from you. Thanks.

Hi Dan. Great video mate. Enjoyed the images. I also have the 50mm lens 1.8 for my Canon. I hardly use it. Take care mate. Shawn.

Beautiful foxglove shots Dan, excellent vid as per normal :-) What would you say is the biggest limitation doing this for woodland?

Nice video thank you

Hi Dan, Your explanation was spot on. As photographers, we can sometimes over complicate things. Esp when we are trying to explain stuff. Your approach to the question you posed was easy to understand. Simple as that. Nice location too. Let's have more of these "why & how" question type videos please. Regards Rob.

Lovely and informative video! Question, do you walk with two tripods around for shooting the video?

Thanks for the video, Dan. I could argue that, in today's world, this is a lens for an EXPERT photographer. I say that because in today's world, it seems like everyone uses an ultra-shallow depth of field in lieu of actual composition and photographic "depth." I would love it if more photographers used a deeper depth of field and made ALL parts of the frame matter.

Thanks Dan! Excellent video, both in explanation and the images taken. I really enjoyed the tree trunk with the wide open aperture. I typically shoot in manual, so I adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. However, I think favoring aperture priority may be the ticket. I agree with you as well, the right aperture for the right image is largely dependent on the taste of the photographer. However, there is certainly opportunity for the wrong aperture when trying to present a scene. Thanks again, Dan

Hi Dan. Great video. Nice explanation on the F stop. Take care mate. Shawn.

Beautiful love bluebells

A wonderful place to visit

Lovely to see spring on its way

I liked this id never have thought about buying an old lens

Great video this really helps thank you

Great video Danny, yes it helped, i love the way you simplified the explanation...i always have used the do it all setting, but i shall have a play around now

Personally I would say a definite yes Dan, its a big part of determining how the finished image will look, good job mate 👍👍

Nice images mate - is that Hitch Wood by any chance? Lots of those older lenses are still really good. I have a number of Pentax M series lenses which perform really well on film and digital and I got them at a similar price point.

Fascinating experiment with this lens. It really does well. Does it work with the camera autofocus or do you manual focus the photo?

Just watched your video on using an old kit film zoom lens on a digital camera. I've subscribed to your channel, I like your approach and explanatory presentation level. Your choice of music is pretty damn good too. Time for coffee, yep, you bet. Cheers Dan Regards Rob.

Nice video Dan, I also use 20 to 24 year old Canon 35mm EF zooms on my Canon 200D, and I agree these back in the day kit lenses are as sharp as a box of tacks. I don't have any focus hunting issues. And I paid a similar price as you did. I love using them. Thanks Dan. Regards Rob (new subscriber)

F8 and be there

Great video Dan, nice sharp images mate. Always good to check out old lenses, I brought an old macro lens for 60 quid. Not used it yet but will soon. Take care. Shawn

I had this lens together with my Nikon F80 as a kit. Bought a 70-300 mm f4-5.6G at the same time. I'm still using both of these lenses today on my Nikon D600 that I bought second hand a few months ago. They still serve well despite their age.

Excellent as always Dan, certainly a bargain of a lens, does it have weather sealing mate?

Good clarity and colour from an old lens certainly a forgotten gem.

Some film lenses make great photos on digital cameras❤

Looks Interesting 😮

Great pics and video making me miss woodland photography great inspiration thanks

Hi Dan. Hope you’re ok mate. Great video and images. Take care shawn

Thank you so much for the mention Dan. I do look forward to meeting you in 2025. Another beautiful adventure through the bluebells! Thanks for sharing. (and cheers with the snickers bar).
