Thank you kindly Don, I so appreciate your feedback and support. Paul.
I've just dropped off my photography books at the charity shop. Why would I bother when you are so clear and succinct and have taught me more in a few weeks than I've learned in months from books!
Paul you are simply the best person for photography. I’ve learnt so much from you
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!
PAUL, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO FOR STARTER. GOOD JOB AND THANK YOU
awesome channel....thx Paul

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!

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 📷 🤗

Paul again, thank you for these videos i've stated in a previous video that ivé started learning photography through an online learner and your videos simplify things and make it much more understandable then my text books. You're a massive legend, and I look forward to seeing more videos I now have an idea on what I want to do for my Photo Assignment!
I can't thank you enough. Excellent tutorial.
Hello Paul, I just started following your videos and I wanted to say how great there are. Your style of teaching is very clear and concise, which makes learning that much easier. I look forward to watching all your previous videos and those that are yet to come. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Super helpful! Thank you.
Best teacher ever. How do I get to your list of videos?
Incredibly helpful, thank you!
Excellent well done Paul.
Followed these steps on my Nikon z50 and wow
Another great video Paul. Thank you for your dedication to helping people learn photography.
Great channel, bought my first camera T7 just a few weeks ago and if it wasn’t for your expertise and knowledge I’m not sure I wouldn’t be taking it back. 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!🇨🇦
Your videos are incredible Paul. Love how you explain stuff and it actually makes sense!
great Photography tips , u helped me a lot ... all love and respect
The way you describe the technique , is unparallel. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much Paul

Love your channel mate just awesome. I've gone from taking really bad photos to really good ones, all thanks to your easy to digest knowledge and how good you explain things. Thank you so much.
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!
Thankyou Paul.Very useful tips.Look forward to next video.J

I just purchased my first DSLR camera and I'm really enjoying your videos, tips and tricks. I am a complete beginner, the videos are just the perfect amount of time not to become overloaded with all the technical stuff.
I love the simple way in which you explained and showed pictures where to find the knobs in the actual cameras Nikon and Canon. Thanks for sharing! Also, I would like to learn about this specific composition and the reason for croping the initial image captured.
Another great video
Thanks for wonderful tips
1. I'm not a beginner so this video, obviously, is not for me. 2. I found the video thoroughly enjoyable; really clearly structured and presented; and i learned things of value to me. Really well done - i'm off to take a deep dive into your channel. All the best from a cabin in a swamp in a rain-forest in New Zealand.
I go out early every day for a walk and enjoy God's artistry. Its different everyday and I enjoy capturing it. This weekend I'm planning to go to the Hampton Ontario brow. Wanted to do this for a long time and it should be a great place for a great sunrise and bird photography. Thanks for the video

@cancel4504 No absolutely not, if you are photographing moving subjects AF is usually preferred. But Manual focus still has its place and is often preferred by macro, landscape and Astro photographers.

OMG!!! I just found your videos and they are great. I have beginner books and they are so overwhelming and hard to understand. I watched this video then went out and took pictures. I have never used the manual mode and thought I would give it a try. My pictures turned out great. Thank you for giving us beginners a place to learn.
Your channel is one of the BEST of any "learning" channels on YT! Meeting you is on my bucket list! Really good video today, thank you!

I love your videos I've had my Canon 90D for about 2 years and when I need help I use your videos to help me and get good tips
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.
Very helpful mate. Thanks

Found this funny I was shooting the sunrise this morning working on getting the colors correct. I came in and found this video. Thanks Paul great help as usual
Great video mate, enjoyed watching this as a local Brisbane landscape photographer and seeing some familiar places! One point you made which i think is vital is that nature holds all the cards, well said! Can't always come home with a banger. Super thorough video, well done!
Clear easy to follow instructions. Perfect for a learner like me. Great channel. 👍
Great video Paul! I just purchased the NISI filter system with the circular polarizing filter. I haven’t yet purchased the additional filters in the system. I think the graduated ND will be my next purchase followed by the 10 stop ND. Thanks for your awesome video channel.
I'm back for re watch So many great tips you put out, Paul. That I come back and use your channel as a reference thank you

Excellent video, simple but effective
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.

Thanks Paul for sharing you knowledge. I thinks your videos are great and the best part is I own a Nikon D3500 and you feather the entry level cameras a lot. living on the Florida panhandle I have taken a lot of sunrise/sunset photos but watching this video, I now know what I was doing wrong. Thanks Paul Iiames
Such a shame I don't live in or near Brisbane in fact a few thousand miles away in the UK, would love to sit your courses, really enjoying your videos I am just starting to use M mode, not there yet but will get there yet, will get there eventually, your videos are clear and concise cannot believe I am already into M Mode, all thanks to you.
