    Lot of comments. This will be lost in the crowd. A friend sent me a link to the video. I'm 75 and had stacked arms, had quit making photographs and had begun to stay indoors. I'm going out tomorrow to get a camera. Hadn't sold the lenses yet. Inspiration comes unexpectedly.

I have a Canon 70d with a canon 50mm USM lens ( Compatible with full frame DSLR ) but my cam is a Crop sensor, soooooo my pics dont come out too good.

Thank you so much for doing what you do and I hope you keep making videos like this.

    Peter, I came across your channel through another channel about learning about camera shooting and this is the first video I have seen of yours. It is truly an amazing story and cannot wait to watch more of your videos to learn and get ideas! The "Bucket Shot" was a totally awesome video and an inspiration for me! Peace!

    Dear Peter,
    I'm not sure if you would even see this (mostly probably you won't given the number of comments you get) but I just wanted to share with you the feeling that I have right now after watching this video.
    You could say I'm a UA-cam buff and even have a UA-cam channel of my own (Not this account and won't mention the name coz I'm not trying to get publicity here). But lately, actually for the last 2 months I haven't made a single video. I've been going through a very difficult time, kind of a burnout situation and there were situations I even thought of quitting and not making videos anymore. This thought itself made things even worse coz the love I have for film making is something beyond what I can express in words.
    This went on for 2 months and today I was watching this video (BTW I love your content and that smile that you always have), seeing how much passion you have for photography and the extends you would go to get that one shot that you always wanted to take, The Bucket Shot. This took me back to the days when I first started off making videos, the struggles that I went through and the learning experiences from each video. I still remember the day I said I wanted to make videos, everyone started to laugh and said that you can't make videos, you're not meant for that or the things that you have made are really bad or something like that. But now, looking back at those days makes me feel happy and proud coz I overcame all of that made videos, which eventually made me understand that this is something I truly love. Not just the videos , the entire experience is something one could cherish for a lifetime.
    Thank you for reminding me what it really meant to me making a video or taking a picture. I'm filled with happiness to say that you're one of the persons I look up to . And that smile on your face dude...it brings out a smile on my face even when I'm really sad. So thank you. I'm truly honored to be a part of this UA-cam family of yours.
    P.S. Now I feel like this is a bit too long and should have emailed you this. But Its all good.

    I've been so uninspired and unmotivated with my photography pretty much the whole of 2022 but recently I've started noticing more and more things/places I want to photograh recently, then a few days ago my 11 year old granddaughter asked me if I still take photos, I said not really, she said I need to get out with my camera and start taking some again, then her mum told me my granddaughter had been singing my praises to the photographer taking shots of her gymnastics competition and how proud she felt because I've had a few photos published in my local newspaper. That has been on my mind for the last few days days. Today I came across this video, which is great btw, and I've decided to make a bucket list of the places I want to photograph. My granddaughter and this video have given me the inspiration and motivation to do something I enjoy, I can feel the sense of excitement at the thought of doing this. Thank you Peter and thank you to my granddaughter.

It's about the story, it's about the connection, it's about the love and Ienjoyed all of it. Thank you for making this and for putting it on youtube to show everyone that you can start with a two minute Tuesday and you can grow and make something like this.
    Thank you Peter!
