Hey guys that went by so fast! Super podcast - informative on trends, always-great stories. Doug and Brandon need to team up on a MacGyver like “action” series sponsored by Ace, Napa and O’Reilly! The first time I met Doug, I learned more about video and the industry in a two hour drive than I learned in 2 years of UA-cam University watching people who didn’t know what the hell they were talking about. Love that Truth & Legend and Doug are not only so knowledgeable- but also willing to share and teach others. Thanks guys.
Thanks 🙏 appreciate the kind words!
This is just a fun hobby for me that keeps me outdoors as I age learning about wildlife. When I got my first camera the store recommended I seek out Doug's videos on UA-cam. I've watched them so many times and always learn something new. I can't thank him enough for the resource those video's provide. I'm in NC not too far from you Doug and saw a pronothotary warbler this weekend. Only the 2nd time I have. Couldn't agree more that they are one of the prettiest birds and so friendly!
It's a great hobby to have and Doug is a great teacher. He's back adding video on his channel so make sure you check them out.
Great episode
Thanks for watching!
Fabulous interview. I'm a bird photographer getting into videography. Just upgraded finally from Nikon D850 to Z9. Great to hear your wisdom and thoughts about the past, present and future. Learning everything I can about wildlife cinematography, watching Doug's UA-cam channel.
Thanks for watching! A lot more good stuff in the works!
Great podcast!! I’m one of those that were inspired by watching “ your Wild photo adventure starts here” on my local PBS channel. I’ve rewatched them many times.
Doug's show was airing on PBS when I moved to Anchorage and I was just starting to take photos. I wouldn't have believed that I would get the opportunity to work with him years later.
Thanks for watching Craig!
Always great to listen to a "Doug" episode. Well done
Yep, Doug sure is full of fun and inspiring stories!
Thanks mooseman. Looking forward to your interview!
Z mount lenses are incredible guys, saying putting that out there.
We agree! Bring on the Nikon glass
Guys, I have been following you since long. Incredible videos all the time.
I would like to request a video with Raptor and Cannon 50-1000 and covering focus, composition stuff. If this is something possible
As soon as we get access to a 50-1000 (CN20) we will put a video together.
