#TheBonsaiZone - Навчання та стиль
❤❤❤❤❤✂️👍fully people see natural beauty show you great thank you so much people see natural
Please tell Connor I liked his choice of shirts for the occasion!!! What a high point for the TBS programming committee. It looked and sounded as if the evening was all that had been hoped for and more. Wonderful! Thank you Nigel ✨✨✨✨
For me its Nigel' video which brought me into bonsai...and its bcos of him i am obsessed with bonsai...
We need a video updated on Connor’s ficus! That tree looks awesome!
Great job filming it Nigel - thanks! And nice of Peter to mention you in his talk! 😁👍
Dang, I think Connor’s tree blew Peter away! I could just see Peters inspiration meter filling up. Can’t wait to get a better view of it. I haven’t seen it without the tube before. Oh yeah, spot on with the shirt too.👍😁 can’t wait for part 3!🎉🍻
Connor's Annual garden tour is coming up soon!
Haha everyones shock when he trimmed that chaps untouched tree the gasp was fantastic!!
Lots of drama!!
He is so fast. Doing this forever. He know already what's to be done almost before he sees the tree! Haha!
So interesting to see how Peter views things and does make it look easy. Brilliant
Yes, I think the design vision might be the hardest part of bonsai!
@@TheBonsaiZone and the confidence to trust that vision too :)
Superb!
🙂
Loved part 1 live. I missed part 2 live but I'm enjoying it now ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
it was nice to see connor, he's been hiding....and i think connors tree made peter speechless....lol
I would have never expected TBS to have this event, and forget the wire. Lol
I noticed a lot of whispering during Connor's critique.
I don't think they expected Peter to work on the trees!
Unfortunately I'm understanding only about 60%-70% and the subtitles aren't helping, but it's very interesting nevertheless!
Great shirt choice by Connor, by the way!
do you really have to specify that part 2 is a continuation of part 1 ? :D
I'll take a wild guess.. next is part 3 ?
so jealous btw :)
It's just in case people click on a video out of order!!
Foist
Camera work is brutal. Should have had a dry run. Could have edited this to a split screen and cut out the projector screen
If only I had you there, then it would have been perfect!
@@TheBonsaiZone You can try adding tracking mask to lower the exposure of the projector screen, and up the exposure of the rest scene.
I just thought that it doesn't really matter what's displayed on the projector screen as long as we can clearly see the actual scene. So you can just bump up the exposure by +2 or so, and then use curves to adjust the brightness.
