Thanks for the complete picture; location, timing of light, lens selection, camera settings, position of model and the final editing. I never would have thought to bring a chair which allowed your model to relax while sitting in that field. Thanks for the lesson.
I think you deserve many more subscribers, so watching this at the end of 2024 and seeing they still haven't doubled, though overdue, I still do - subscribe I do! You combine methodical structuring and teaching quality with a narrator's voice that's hard to resist. Add to it that I use G9 and struggle with it in some arias, and I definitely have to be around with your new uploads!
Having watched this episode now, a few remarks as you asked for them Andrew. It was a pleasure, except for the distracting ads. But OK, that generates income for you. Very instructive video as always. Your portraits are great, also the sense of humor. I admire you achieving a nice skin color I always struggle with using my G9. The magenta shift is awful. Difficult to compensate with green and blue. But, then again I'm shooting mostly inside, with difficult, combined lighting. A lost cause. My greatest problem in my workflow is choosing between the images in bursts. A real drag. Also losing myself in details and perfectionism when editing. Honestly, when I saw your "feature" image (Kelarney on the stool) I thought you chose it to give an example of a reject in the burst. But never mind! Was nice to follow the raw development because I use Affinity. Not much different from Adobe. I prefer your second edit, the more vibrant version. Greetings from Europe!
I haven't bought a macro lens for my G9. I find that the 12-60mm can get so close it verges on macro territory. The only true macro lens I have used was the Olympus 60mm F-2.8. I only borrowed it for about half an hour but I found it sharp and very easy to use. If you want someone to compare different macro options, I'm sorry I can't help any more than that.
The first version looks more natural. I find your editing process helpful. I use Camera Raw and Photoshop myself. I find Light room too cumbersome I'm now using my little GX9 and GX7 more than my DSLRS. I may at some stage go for the G9 and sell off the DSLR gear Cheers and Thanks Ps since I saw this a year ago, I've bought a used G9 in excellent condition and am very pleased with the results

The natural photos more my style but the vibrant photo was still really nice.
Thanks for explaining from start to finish. Love my G9 and use your videos to improve my images.

What camera do you recomend for animal photography, with a budget up to 600 dollars

I keep wanting to erase that grass stalk that is in front of the girl's hand. It distracts me.
