    One thing I can say is your Portra 400 preset is the closet thing on earth to the actual Portra 400 film.
    I don't normally leave comments on youtube and even though I had a little bit of problem after purchasing your preset, it was swiftly taken care of with an immediate response from you. And right now I am the happiest man on earth who can shoot digital and have a film-look result with just a few clicks in Lightroom. Thank you for creating the Portra 400 preset and inspiring me through your youtube channel.
    Happy New Year from Thailand, Dave!

    Congrats on a great year Dave!!! It was exciting to watch your channel grow and see you tweak your content. You are a great example that the M system can be very versatile. Your work carries much inspiration to get out and shoot. My favorite videos from you is when you go out explore something new and hang with cool people and do photography. Awesome

    You uploaded this at a perfect time for me. I'm having my morning coffee relaxing as the day starts and enjoying your commentary and your photos. Great job and congrats on your first-year on YT. I'm hoping the introvert in me lets me create on YT and share but for now I'm happy to just enjoy great content like yours and a few others. I just purchased my first Leica (Q3) and it should be arriving soon so I can't wait to implement a few of your presets I purchased on the Leica system. Thanks again and keep doing you! Cheers to a new year!

    I am also a Leica user and the M11 is my favorite camera. Love it. Very good feeling when shooting with it. Your photos are excellent. Especially those from the dolomites. I long for the alps when I see them.

    Awesome channel, your videos are so sincere and more about the art of photography which I feel a lot of other photography channels lack. I like the idea of just shooting Leica for a year. Like you I own other camera brands but really enjoy the Leica M11 and M6 experience. Maybe i’ll stick with that combo primary for the new year.

    Congratulations on one year of videos from a fellow Leica shooter! I've been encouraged and inspired by so many of your posts so I look forward to many more in 2024. Oh, and as for those toxic, negative posters, they're just dweebs and losers so ignore them. Keep on keepin' on!

    Have been enjoying your videos. Congrats on the first year. One criticism of this one, however. If your purpose in making this video is to show your top photos for the year, then please show more of the photos and less of you talking. The photos are on the screen for such a short period of time it is hard to appreciate them. I like what you are saying but we don't have to see you say it when we are trying to appreciate the photos, which are really very nice. Just narrate in the background. We'll see what you do for the best of 2024.
