Well, many people use time as a measure of distance. ("The next larger town is twenty minutes away.") Inverting that distance might be used as a measure of time. Although a light-year is a really, really long time. Even with the fastest measures of transport humans came up with so far.

Fantastic video James. You truly are one of the more refreshing and enjoyable photography channels out there for the past couple of years.

I shoot Fuji and with the film simulations and other adjustments you can make to shadows, sharpness etc I find that jpeg is just fine most of the time.

Another enjoyable watch James 👍 Loved all the shots, told the story of the day very nicely.

Would love to see some editing videos from yourself, as I love your style/aesthetic. Been playing with your presets and has for sure made some of photos look that much better

An editing video will be great, and thanks for the presets. I've been using them for a while now, and everyone loves them.

Was out in (I think) your neck of the woods a few days ago. Went up to Bamford edge and snapped some photos. Nothing amazing as I'm super new to it but I had a great time and it's stunning up there. I need to get a nice telephoto though I think. Would save me having to walk right up to everything or learning to fly to get some of the angles I want.

Thanks James another great video, yes please to another editing video maybe you could cover split toning in lightroom

Love your photo’s. They give me a Holiday feeling. I think you desaturate and flatten them a bit. I’d like to learn!!!

You are definitely getting better on the bike, getting some speed up downhill! Personally I would like to see some editing videos as that really interests me to see other peoples work flow. Great content as usual.

I've been missing the sheeps, James! Thanks for running into one :D

My boss: mate, you should get to work. Me: nah, new James Popsys video.

I personally wouldn't mind you using your viewfinder instead of the screen. I always imagine it to be a real pain in the ass to shoot like that just for the videos sake. Therefore I would be able to to enjoy those clips more with you using the viewfinder. Most of the time there isn't much visible on the screen anyways (from the GoPros perspective, that is). Great video, MR. Popsys, really enjoyed it!

Would be good to see your take on editing those images. I’m intrigued how you get what I call the “Popsys look”. I.e. that ‘high pass’ (not sure if that’s the right terminology) look you’re photos have. I have you’re presets so will be good to see how you apply them. Great video again of a familiar area.

Hi James, firstly I think your videos are fantastic and you’ve really made me rethink the journey my photography is going to take. I just wondered if you thought as an enthusiastic amateur (not quite beginner I don’t think!) whether there is a danger of taking on too much information? I have spent literally hours watching you, Tom H, Nick P, Nigel D etc. And when I’m not I’m out with my camera shooting and loving the outside. Just worry I might reach saturation point from content! Great work mate 👍🏻

Nice One accept that light years is a measure for a distance not time. Love your channel! Absolutely can feel with every step you do. ;)

James 3 weeks before lock down I bought my first digital camera G80 I have to shoot jpeg as I have know idea on prossesing so editing demo with absoute beginners in mind would be a kindness, I love your channel and as I'm the wrong side of 65 I'm fussy about who I spend time with so thank you very much for teaching me regards Kim

Yeah a video on editing in lightroom and or photoshoo would be class mate

Yess! Editing Video!

I must say, as someone who has been shooting video on LUMIX cameras for 7 years, you have sparked an interest to start experimenting with still photography. Brilliant work.

Love this stuff

Yes. Would enjoy seeing more editing vídeos...!

I have been shooting sports photography in JPEG for years, and have gotten great results. Yes, the new cameras are a little more “stretchy" than the older cameras when it comes to editing JPEGs (there was a big difference when I went from a Nikon D750 to a D850 aside from the fact of the more megapixels). I usually shoot my landscapes in RAW format, but will do a shoot in JPEG to see the difference. I have not put myself in one of my shots yet....that is for another time. Great video, thank you.

Nice one! And ... KZread is doing horrible job regarding your images. Really! When I saw your shots in video they were looking just Ok, very plain, lacking a some sort of kick. I used your link and ... NICE shots! They are really NICE! I wish to be there too ;)

Do you think you would do a photography contest? Doesn't need like prizes, but I think it would be fun.

For the book try switching to the Affinity set (photo, designer etc.). For trails I'd have a look at High Peak from Cromford in Derbyshire and there's a good one near Hawes that runs south west towards Ingleton.

I do like the colours/texture of your edits. I want to just start shooting jpeg's as I feel I need to learn more about getting the correct settings rather than relying on editing the raw file to get the correct colour balance etc.

Great video! I use jpg a lot and always feel inferior when everyone else seems to shoot RAW. So your video put a smile on my face and I can now sleep easy at night....

Good video as always. Is you're going to do a video on editing, how about one with jpeg using no presets. When I first started in digital I only shot in jpeg and editing using expusure and warmth on Windows editor. Switched to raw and photoshop, I never look at jpeg now.

Yes, please do an editing video! :)

Would love to see you editing!

I really like that place.. I was concentrated in the place ... Time to time i kept on not listening to you so I had to go back. I can't blame me you for biking all day the landscape is calm but in a dope way 😊🤷‍♀️

It does make a difference for the viewing experience! Thank you!

I'm happy to help you layout a book using InDesign. Even if you're just interested in tips, since you probably want the joy of doing your own actual layout.

This one made me laugh. Needed this right about now. Thanks.

Enjoyed that !! - I like your "biking" vids as I assume you carry minimal weight. Out of interest, if you took only ONE lens out with you while pedalling in the Peak, , which one would it be ?

Great to bring your days' story via imagery. My day was consumed with tiling the kitchen, which may have taken more than twice as long if I had gotten the camera out...

Yes thanks. An editing video is always helpful

Your mountain bike skills are definitely improving...comment about 4 wheel drive vehicle driving on leafs is hilarious. Did you feel anything was missed in jpeg vs RAW?

I'd really like an "editing video" with your particular editing style. Low contrasty and that... Thanks!

Call myself a film maker? OK confession time. At the start I was so chuffed when I noticed the Tripod that was in your rucksack had all of a sudden vanished in the next shot where you then stopped to do the piece to camera. LOL There is the clue for me A PIECE TO CAMERA! A camera, no doubt, mounted on said Tripod. God I need a holiday. Thanks for sharing James.

Thank you for another great video. You could have used your tripod as the twig! 😁

An editing video where you show us how to try and rescue overexposed or underexposed shots that you don't have time to retake might be helpful. I know I've had to do it a few times, and thank God the a7III has the dynamic range it does. (Capture One also helps with that, to be fair.)

“Gates are not fences” thanks for the heads up. Great video! Always entertaining and educational.

Great video AGAIN James. Interested to know - were all you bike shops timed or do you have a remote?

8:45 Just hope that gate didn't take a fence.

Am shocked by the tripod use so much. Have you converted? Yes, please edit a some stuff! Recently found the channel and been going through the videos... ended up deciding to buy the G9. I was looking at the Canon RP, but it wasn't meeting the needs I want, but after watching your videos... realize the G9 meets them. Was able to try one out at the local camera shop and am waiting for mine to arrive now.

You do seem to be getting faster on the bike. Just waiting for the off.

Hey James, you can use the viewfinder for me, you’re standing in front of the view and describing it then you show us the photo afterwards anyway. You don’t half make the whole process of setting up shots of yourself riding your bike look easy, I always assumed that when I saw photos of action shots it was someone else taking the photo. Never entered my mind it was done the way you do it. I’d quite happily watch another editing video next by the way. Would there be any chance of a more in depth print related video in the future please? I’m looking at grabbing a printer later this year and that would be super useful to me at least.

I’d like an editing video on white balance adjustments after applying your free presets 👍

Sometimes I’m so zoned into the b-roll it sounds like you are saying sheep district. Maybe they should have their own national park? And thanks for the book. I like this format more than the square and just the right amount of words and of course - incredible photos.

Hey James, wonderful video, I love the places you go for photography they are so green... Even if the image processing power of the cameras is not the best comparing with a pc, indeed the jpeg of the new camera model is very good and store a lot of data in the case you need to do some tiny modification. I hope in the future the manufacturers add FPGA with the ability to import any hardware accelerator we need like the prototype of apertus... Will see.. What do you have on the hot-shoe of G9? I can't recognise the device.

The cycling photo purist would not approve of that MTB shot - wrong gearing and the pedals are not horizontal :P Just wanted to say you produce great content. Your nonchalant approach when explaining compositions and workflow is also helping in the learning process as the explanations are really focused on the important elements of the shot.

As a newbie, I would love a video on editing. I took some photos on an isolation walk and I can’t seem to get them edited in a way that I’m happy with. Admittedly the more I look at them the less of them I like as some look really soft so I need to figure out why that is 🤔. Answers on a postcard 👍

I've found the JPEGs out of my FujiFilm HS30EXR, now an 8 year old camera, are extremely flexible, almost as flexible as RAW.

For me it's not about affordability. I want to get the shot in the camera, just like shooting slides back in the '90s, although I always shoot RAW as insurance. That's one reason I love the curve adjustments in my cameras (OM-D). For me, a RAW converter (in my case DxO) is plenty, if I ever use it. Digital should be liberating. I would really like to see a modern codec like JP2K or something like that. JPEG is fine, but JP2K or similar would make RAW completely unnecessary. IMHO.

You ride like a Pro!

James, I thought you didn't like sheep.......so now they're best friend because of composition in your bike shot :-)

Nice tripod you have there!
