Hello Ian my first visit to your channel very well presented thanking g you for your knowledge… beautiful locations

Hi, milinote very super lesson about landscapes..mahesh India.

Another super video, thank you 🙂

I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Great advice as always, Ian., and so well explained.

Thanks!

Great video Ian and very well explained for anyone starting out in photography. You showed some stunning image's that you have taken. Look forward to the next one.

Very helpful, particularly the last section on editing. Thank you. Cheers.

As an experienced landscape photographer I found this video useful and informative. I'm new to Milanote (using it for a couple of weeks now) and I'm learning how to use it, early experience is it's going to be very useful and will replace my scruffy notebook.

Great one Ian, well thought out and presented, thank you.

A very good lesson

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ian, thank you for sharing your 4 Cs method. It's so helpful because it's easy to remember. Unless colour is obvious in the landscape, e.g., heather, bluebells, skies etc., I forget the colour wheel. You can tell I'm a beginner! Love the videos!

I like your focus was on general gear and not specific brands/models and you mentioned that sensor size is a reasonable issue to consider for anyone, it's not full frame or else as each size has technical advantages and disadvantages.

Interesting you use an APSC. I love my canon 7Dii. I'm told all the time I need a FF mirrorles, but to be honest I don't have much room in my bag, and those FF zoom lenses are huge. I take a 10-18, 18-135, sometimes my 105 macro and sometimes my 55-250. With the exception of the 105 macro they are all small and light fitting in a small bag in a neoprene pouch. I usually don't have room for a tripod but DXO photolab Denoise and or Topaz gets rid of noise satisfactory up to 16,000 ISO. I like to think that my AI Denoise makes up for not having IBIS. Only need a tripod for long exposure. I recently discovered that if I intentionally focus on a landscape and intentionally move my upper body forward incredibly slowly with my finger on continuous autofocus I shake much less than trying to keep still. On a lens with IS such as the canon 18-135 EFS IS I can shoot at 1/10 sec moving moving my body slowly forward. Keeping still 1/35. Let me know if this works for you too. It's made a huge difference to my hand held sharpness.

When you mention camera phones, you should mention that the user set the image settings to Raw, native resolution and not use the electronic crop. I had someone ask to print what should have been an amazing image, but captured in jpeg with an electronic crop ( so the image was 774KB). The bright areas were just unrecoverable and the resolution too low to print regardless of any trick I could try
