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.

    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!

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.

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.
