Dear Toms all I will say is that you have never let me down with the constantly increasing quality of your work. Combine this with your kind character & genuinely fun attitude and I can only be a loyal follower.
Oh Michalis, such kind words from you. So so much fun to make these videos for you and others who truly enjoy them! Thank you for all your support brother!
Thank you, Toms because of you I regain my interest to learn and use my A6000 that my wife gifted to me on our wedding day more often. Now I just upgraded to A7iii and starting to learn more in photography as a hobby. Looking forward to see more of your guides and vlogs. Cheers!
I love the way you show us how beatiful photography can be.. not just "you have to buy this gear, to shoot great photos". I loved the a6000 series of you. Anf I just bought the viltrox 33mm 1.4 and I love it. Wish you all the best for 2024, stay healthy 😊
Here since you had like 1.5k subscribers and never got bored… And I also learnt something on the way 😜 Really hope for a great year for you and for everyone 🤟
Since I started Aerospace Engineering a couple of months ago I don’t know how much time I’ll have to go out and take some photos… But I’m starting a project with some friends and my a6000 will come in handy 🔥
I am a recent member of your community but I’m excited for these tutorials. I’ve wanted to get into photography for a while but I have no idea how to get the right camera, how much I should spend, what do I need and most important, not break the bank, as I really can’t spend more than like 800-1,000. these tutorials you will be making will be extremely helpful, and I thinks it’s nice that you’re giving somebody a camera ❤
Hey, once again I want to thank you. The effort and love you put in your channel is clearly visible.
I wish more videos about videography if that would be possible.
Happy new year. Keep up your great work in 2024 and we'll all be more than satisfied.
Greetings from Germany.
Always a great youtuber and the best UA-cam channel when it comes to photography and videography advices ! Thanks to you I've bought my first Sony a6000 in 2021. I wish you a good year and the best health!
Thank you so much Christian! Im so happy you got your own camera, hope it works well! Wishing you the same!
Mate, I'm with you from the beginning and I really appreciate what you are doing ❤
I wish you all the best in 2024 🎉
Thank you so much Ihor! Means truly a lot! Best in 2024 for you too!
Recently found your channel, really like the content so far and sound like it's only going to get better. Good luck this year
I really hope it will haha thanks so much for your support. Glad to have you here!
Me encanta, gracias por compartir y te acompañaremos en todo lo que hagas ❤
Your channel has grown and is amazing! I love your videos!
Im about to buy the A7 III and the FE 50mm F/1.8, and I'm really exited!!
Thank you buddy! Thats a neat combo, I am sure you gonna love it! Let me know when you get it!
@@TomsJurjaks no problem!! I will let you know! Thanks for being an inspiration, and I hope I can get some awesome results like you
bro thank you so much for your content, it’s really helpful, interesting and inspiring!
Thank YOU for your support!
Mr. Jurjaks I've been watching your videos since January 2022 and after all that time the only thing I can say is Keep on with the great work and keep inspiring others.
Oh my, so good to know you have been sticking around for so long. Thank you so so much for your support. I will keep on the grind 💪
You're the reason why I bought my first camera last year Toms. Thanks for your hard work and if you need feedback/input I'm happy to help.
And I really hope you enjoy shooting with it! You watching the videos, dropping a comment is a more than I could ask for. And remember, it goes both ways, if there is anything you need an answer for - simply ask away :)
I got all the recommendations about photography from this channel, I even chose a Sony A6000 and a Sigma 30mm lens as a first step in starting a hobby from this channel. Thanks Toms
I reeeaaally hope you are liking your setup Septian! Sigma 30mm is one of my favorite lens (that I still haven’t bought for myself haha). Enjoy your combo friend 🙌
Hey, you really inspired me! Because of you and your videos, I bought the sony a6000 as my first camera and I love it! Since then I bought 2 new lenses and I plan to upgrade in the future! Cheers from Porto!
Ola Ruben, muito bom! I hope you are enjoying your a6000! Porto is my favorite city in whole Portugal! Cant wait to go back there. Cheers!
Can't wait for the new content mate very much looking forward to it. You will definitely reach 50000 subscribers this year I have no doubt 😊.
Keep it up brother 💪
You've been such an amazing supporter Lars. Glad to have you in the Alpha Family 💪
Another amazing video Toms. I already enjoy the chilled vibe of your videos. That’s why I come back 🤷🏻♂️ Where were you there when filming in the snow?
Thaaaank you Liam! Glad you picked up the vibes! I was filming this in forests of Latvia. Not sure where exactly are you from but its a relatively unknown, tiny country up north of Europe (-17 degrees Celsius right now here) ❄️
@@TomsJurjaks -17 degrees!! 😳 Bit chilly then yeah? 😂 Yeah I know where Latvia is, I’m from Scotland 🏴
Yeah we have so cold front coming over, @liamhardie97 see if won’t reach you guys in a week or two 🥶 and Scotland is SO HIGH on my travel list for 2024, the Highlands, Isle of Skye and that whole West and North region is a dream for a hiker/landscape photographer like me 😍
@@TomsJurjaks well if you ever make it across maybe we could meet up and I would love to help you plan an itinerary for places to go for photographs? 💪🏻
Awesome! Can’t wait for more 👍
More to come Alex!
I just found your channel I love your passion and plans for the future I will be watching all of these videos because I have been a photography enthusiast for as long as I remember, thanks for your efforts and for this great video ❤
Thanks for the kind words Nouran! Glad to have you here! I hope you enjoy the future videos 🙌
Your videos have inspired me a lot and I recently got into street photography because of you. I also bought my first camera (a Sony a6000) yay! You have showed me that I don't need the newest camera and I love watching your videos on gear so I can learn a lot more.
Eventhough I watch other UA-camrs on photography I usually always come back to your videos. So to give something back. Thank you! I have tried multiple artforms but photography just speaks to me and I wouldn't have started it without watching your videos.
Comments like these is why I make UA-cam videos. There is just so much happiness knowing that you pickup up a camera, started shooting, learning something new and most importantly - truly enjoy it. Thank you Hannah for being here and watching my videos. Truly appreciate it!
Thanks! I rarely comment on videos but I see now how important it is to sometimes leave some sort of appreciation for a creator. So thank you for creating and helping all of us learn something new each day! Especially when doing any art form creating can be hard. So keep on doing this. You're doing great! :)
Yes, go for it, I wish you at least 100k followers and subscribers because you deserve it. Maybe as a suggestion, I would also suggest some videos from Lightroom on how to edit photos, some video instructions. The presets are great, so at least there are some basic adjustments. It's great that you do reviews of lenses, it helps a person to make a decision. I will support you in any way I can.✌👌
Hopefully one day will hit that 100k mark haha thank you Mirec! And great advice. I have about 15 video ideas to make next (4 are already recorded and need to be edited), but very high on the list is a video about Lightroom editing. I have changed the editing style quite a lot and I cant wait to show you what its about :)
Hey mate! I found your channel some months ago watching some a6000 pov videos before buying my camera and (in part) because of those videos now I have an a6400 with around 5900 shots! Keep inspiring!
I think in would be amazing to see more videos about composition in photo/video.. Also color grading for videos would be an amazing theme! Keep the good job mate
It looks like you are making your money's worth Agustin 🙂 glad to know you already got so many shots, just keep on creating! And thanks for the feedback, I've integrated parts of composition in some of my other videos (briefly) but I feel like this topic does deserve a dedicated video.
And totally agree with the color grading. Thats the point 3 of my video - I need to learn a little bit more about it to make a tutorial, but its definitely high on a list! Cheers Agustin!
Happy new year Mr Tom ,im wishing you luck on your journey by the way im the lover of Sony cameras in videography 😅and i will to support you till you reach that 50000 im going to share your content into many groups . Cause im a mobile Photographer at an age of 17 im in love with photography .im from South Africa and im still schooling hustling with my Redmi 9A phone as a mobile Photographer so im looking forward on support you Mr Tom cause you doing my dream job❤
Supporting*
Ohhhh Lwazi thanks so much my friend! This means so much when you spread the word amongst your friends. Truly means a lot. And I have a new video coming soon and one of the tips are to shoot with whatever gear you have, even if its your phone, so you are already half way there my friend! Cheers
I just wanted to stop and thank you for all you do and taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us. Bye the way. Can I use my Sony a6000 one capture one for tethering and editing? Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, its my pleasure :)
Regarding your question, hmm I am not sure, I haven't used Capture One. But you can try using the Sony's Imaging Edge software. At least its free
❤❤❤
Hey Tom, as a guy whose been in dessert most of his life, seeing this in snowy setup, it definitely is beautiful, the scenery ofcourse. May you have a blast and meet all your goals set for this year.
Im glad the snowy views brings you a bit of happiness. Dessert also has its beauty! And thanks for all the good wishes! Same goes to you 💪
@@TomsJurjaks 💟
Toms I’ve been using a a6000 for about a year now, would you recommend a6400 or is it worth it to spend more for a a6600?
Happy New Year! Daudz Laimes Jaunajā!
Happy New Year and Laimīgu Jauno Gadu!
Toms Happy New Year 2024!🌲🙌
Happy New Year Vadim! I hope this year will be better than last year my friend!
@@TomsJurjaks thank you so much Toms!❤️
I want regular videos about street photography ❤ i love your stree photography....lots of love and all best rise and shine🎉🎉🎉
I will definitely make more street photography videos. I have already filmed one (now editing) so stay tuned for a new one to come out soon! Lots of love!
tom i have a question i have sony 5100 and i want to use full frame lens , which adapter do i need please , thank you , i am your biggest lens from melbourne :)
When I was looking for a starter camera, I decided to get a Sony a6000 after seeing the quality you were able to produce during your street photography videos. I love the camera and the small form factor but am finding myself wanting for better low-light capability. Everyone says full-frame is better for low-light but would a newer APS-C body like the A6700 provide substantially better low-light performance? Am I better off getting a faster lens? My lowest aperture lens right now is a Sony 50mm F1.8.
You definitely have the right way of thinking about this. To compare A6700 vs A7IV, probably A7IV will be a bit better, but then - its a lot more expensive compared to a6700. For a6700 price you could get A7III but my bet goes towards the newer sensor and image processor, even if its apsc camera. I cant definitively tell that its true until I have tested it, but its my feeling.
I arrived best channel that is your concept. I love APS-C camera and I am begginer. So I subscribed it and I will focus your contents. Have a good video at 2024 from france by japanese beginner.
ALL THE BEST BROTHER,😀
Same to you buddy!
Thank you for these videos I loved watching your pov videos with the Sony a6000 I am saving up money to buy a camera 📷 but I got for Christmas a iPhone 11 📱 so I take for now pictures with that but you showed me how to use a camera
Thank u 🙏 😊 happy nieuw year 🎉
Thank you! Im happy you at least got the iPhone, in fact it is good enough to practice photography. Once you have the camera, you will have half of the skills already! Happy new year my friend!
@@TomsJurjaks thank you maybe in the future you can make a video with a iPhone so the people that have no camera but just a iPhone know better how to take good pictures 😊😊
you inspire me
That makes me very happy! Thank you!
Hey Tom.. I came late but I would be so happy if I got the camera... I use my phone for recording and editing my videos and its not easy given the fact that only the selfie side is functional
Which prime lenses is best for Sony a6000 I love to watch your Block bro i just bought Sony a6000 + Sigma 30mm f2.8 and 55-210mm f4.5. Can you please give some advice.
Sigma 30mm f1.4 is my favorite prime for a6000 but you already have f2.8 version so not much point on upgrading.
Thank you ❤
I'm actually eating breakfast with cup of coffee while watching this video :)
Haha thats amazing! Way to go 😄💪
What are the top 3 most versatile and all in one type of lenses for sony APSC ?
Number one would probably be Tamron 17-70 f2.8 or Sigma 18-50 f2.8. Second, a wide angle, lens, Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8. Third, a prime lens. Sigma 30mm f1.4.
@@TomsJurjaks Thank you so much for your suggestions, i searched about all these lenses and i think i'll go with sigma 18-50 f2.8 because of its range and price.
Hi tom! im really a silent viewer of yours, but I really like your videos continue creating unique videos please so once I can buy a camera (hopefully because I'm still a kid) I know what will i do
Hey buddy, glad to have you here, even as a silent viewer. I really hope you get your own camera soon. Watch out for that giveaway, perhaps you get lucky!
@@TomsJurjaks Thanks, will still support you even though as a silent viewer😅 much love
Hi Toms, i got a new lens 7artisans 35mm f1.4 for my a6100? but I am not able to use it properly, can you make a video how to use manual lenses properly for proper blur and sharpness in a6100
How are you liking the lens? Is it good? I actually have an idea to make a video about manual lenses. Haven't bought them yet, but hope i can do it soon!
@@TomsJurjaks it's okay i feel like it's a good lens for a beginner like me, but I need to practice with manual lens to take good shots, mainly changing focus in videos. Also i have seen very good captures with this lens in many UA-cam videos
I will be honest @@manu-singh I personally don’t like manual lenses and for beginners I think it’s really hard to handle. Takes a lot of practice. Thats why I always recommend AF lenses.
@@TomsJurjaks yeah manual lenses are hard to master, but in my area autofocus lenses cost a lot so I had to buy this manual lens to learn photography as my first lens, its at least a lot better then 16-50mm lens that came with my a6100
Tom I have only one doubt about Sony a6000, which is how's this autofocus work on this camera when we Shoot Some fashion Videos.
I think a6000 is ahead of its time when it comes to AF. I made a video about it, its actually pretty good if you ask me. You just need a good lens.
@@TomsJurjaks which lens?? What about 35mm or 50mm
@@hashimtony4189 if you want the prime, I would go with Sigma 30mm f1.4
Is Sigma 30mm f2.8 good
Im not sure. Its an older lens, isnt it? Why wont you look at the f1.4 instead?
I don't know 😕, I'm new in photography so I buy used camera for practice. Anyway thanks for the suggestion ☺️ I love to watch your blog.
@@chingkheihunba145 its definitely good to start out with used (and cheaper) gear. When you start understanding what you like, you can start investing more!

You have just as much luck as anyone else. Just stay tuned for future videos and I hope you win!
Could you help to understand the art of seeing things creatively!!!
Hey Visakh, thats a tough one actually. I think being creative is something different for each of us. But for me, its about being inspired by other creators and then creating a combination of different things in my own way and experimenting a lot. Then something will come out and I think thats gonna be your creative process. It will be unique for you as it is unique for me, but I guess thats the beauty of it.
@@TomsJurjaks I totally get it. Appreciate if you could share your creative process. Reason for asking this is that ultimately a true photographer must think beyond gear, which neards like me hardly think through 😀
Haha I understand you @@unnilife I will definitely do that. I've never really thought of the process itself, just about the ideas (that come before sleep or in shower lol). But you challenge me to think of it, thats great, will do :)
