The wheel and focal length was right up my alley. Explains it like that. :) I like pictures or video rather than reading. I can read, but many times just a photo or very short video will get the message through very effective.

Your take on lens compression is so good and very easy to process. You're a really good teacher Mike!

you are by far the greatest photography teacher on youtube

You have a gift for teaching a complicated thing in a simple, understandable way. Thank you, Mike!

This man is a genius. Wonderful demonstration!

you sir taught a man how to fish, instead of giving him. normally people would only give us the answer on how you should take a picture. but you, guided us and we got to learn by ourselves on figuring out what works best. thank you very much.

OMG! As a beginner I have watched over 300 hours of tut vids on youtube in this month, including countless from pros and I did read over a thousand article/review on this topic, but I still did not have a clue what lens I actually need (35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 135mm on APS-C). Your tut vids are the very best, most efficient and easiest to understand lectures on the whole internet! Hereby, you are nominated to the LORD PHOTO GURU title by me ;) Thank you so much for your vids, helped me a LOT to chose lens and understand the fundamental principles of photographing.I think you shall open a photography school :) Ps.: Natasha is so perfect, so attaractive ;) Ps #: One thing, you never mention if you are shooting on FF or crop when you talk about focal lenght, but it is fundamental for us beginners. I guess you shoot on FF.

I've read many books on this subject but could never understand it. Mike your explanation made it simple to understand and now, I have knowledge of the subject. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to actually demonstrate what most tutorials just talk about. It's all coming together now. =)
