    I've been reading for hours and hours about sunset and sunrise photography, read many reviews, advices and watched a lot of youtube videos. Yet none come close to your video, again I might add. It's easy to understand, easy to follow yet it covers everything. It's a joy to bingewatch your videos :) Thank you!

    Your channel is hands down the best to learn everything about photography, and your captures are magnificent. With temps around -35 to -40C in the early morning presently in Eastern Canada, the sunrises are amazing but I'm not brave enough to step outside to capture them. I may try for a sunset though. Cheers and thank you for your guidance 📷 🤗

    Hi! I've been doing photography since the days I was a child and would borrow my mom's boxy little Kodak that took the 126 film cartridge, but I'm still learning. Your method of teaching is clear and concise and your advise has been sticking in my mind whenever I head out with my camera. Thanks!

I’ve been watching your videos over and over trying to get comfortable and understand how these cameras work. It helps me that demonstrate with the canon cameras…..thank you!🇨🇦

    Thanks for your channel Paul! When I bought my first DSLR; a Nikon D-3500 I found you, because of your explanations using “my camera”. I have since moved to a Nikon Z-50 and recently purchased the NISI filter system. I have always used UV filters to protect my lenses and have used polarizing filters. But I didn’t have a clue what a ND filter was and had to look up the definition. Now, I see I need the 10 ND and the graduated ND. Thanks for your great in-depth photo videos…you’re the best!

    Hi, new to your channel, and reasonably new to digital photography. I learned with a 35mm, and when digital came about, I was just beginning a teaching career and didn’t really have time to learn something new with cameras. I slowly played around with a used digital, but now have more time to really learn about them. Love the way you teach the various aspects of the camera! Looking forward to learning a lot over the next couple of months.

    Another well explained video Paul, thank you. Funnily enough I went out for a woodland walk today, and after watching this video I wish i'd thought about using the 'cloudy' setting on the white balance as it was certainly a grey day here in SW London today! I tend to use Av or Tv on my Canon 1300D instead of Auto these days, and then try changes to shutter speed/ISO etc to get the type of photo I want. I'll certainly try it next time.
