This channel is about YOU - the photographer. And you are often overlooked in favour of the latest gadget. I love helping people see more beauty in the world every day - by thinking like a photographer. I want to help feel confident, be competent in your camera skills and capturing photos you're proud of.
I run workshops worldwide, speak and teach at some of the most prestigious photography evens in the world and have been dubbed the UK's friendliest photo expert by Petapixel. I love helping people discover their 'Eureka' moment.

Good talk! Thanks for sharing.. great approach to pre-visualizing your shot.
Thanks very much.
Loved it Mike. Especially the behind the scenes
Thanks Sharon!
Hi Mike, I really like the Kickboxing from David, now that's movement. Nice one from Wendy great composition showing the Yacht in the background and the Sand. The Dog is very photogenic 😂. Eugenia and the Clouds very nice movement. Harry, Rupert, Ian and the Water Bottle, Peter, Michelle, Neil and Jos with the Dirtbike. Love to see another Biker video Mike. Everyone did a great job Mike movement is not that easy to capture. Thanks for this video I picked up some valuable tips. 😊.
Thanks so much for your continued support.
@@MikeBrowne Your very welcome Mike 😊
I must have watched all of Mike's tutorial videos, but it's nice to come back and refresh the memory. It makes a change from watching the multitude of videos promoting the latest gear.
Good to hear!
I love these critiques
I think the kickboxing sparring photo should have been in the top 5 at least
Thank you - I hope you take the next step and enter too!
@@MikeBrowne I have. Lol
How can you realize where infinity for a specific lens is? Trial and error?
I can't get my camera to focus with the lens attached. What's the secret?
wow!! never seen so easy to undertand video. great. sorry, I have one question, I am trying to buy my equipment to create a art youtube channel, I just bought the sony fx30 and i would like to buy my first lent if possible if you can tell me what lens this artist is using in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKprpMFplZnef8Y.html thank you very much, I love how close he is to the drawing. thanks again
Sorry I can't help you there :-)
I have been an amateur photographer for 55 years. I have read innumerable books and articles, and viewed countless videos on composition. None was as good as this simple, themstic one here about "seeing." I am inspired to let all those compositional schematics fall from my eyes like scales and just see. Brillisnt.
Thank you so much... I'm glad the scales are clearing!
is x 10 magnification too excessive
Your videographer moved because his view was 10,000 times better than yours
Brilliant Mike.
Who doesn't love a well kept train station :-)
Why is the tower grounds looking unkept?
The 'grounds' as you call them, are only the size of a garden, but Elspeth is the only person who maintains it and she's happy to let her garden grow for several months of the year because she has better things to do than mow her lawn every weekend!
What camera gives you that depth of field scale?
The one in the video is a Fuji XT2 - I expect other models have similar options to display this scale if you dig around the display settings
Pretty sure the question would have been about an interior shot.
👍
I'm just starting out, and your videos are really helpful. Thanks mate.
Thanks. There's loads more good stuff including videos on my website at www.photographycourses.biz
When i use my phone(pixel 7 pro) landscape shots at infinity focus. The rightest part of the image gets little soft. But when i click to focus it that part sharperns and right part gets a little blurry. Even though both are far and at infinity focus. Is this natural behavior
I'm sorry I don't know. I'm not a phone expert...
I know this was a while ago….but I found a brand new one last year on eBay that had been purchased and then put away. Very happy with it! Which L series lens are you using in this video?
Sorry I don't know. This vid was by a guest presenter and it was as you say - a long time ago...
@@MikeBrownethank you! Just watched it again, and he mentions it’s the 24-105 L with IS. I just bought that one anyway, before I knew that. Love the lens.
Definitely an inspiration to be found here! Thank you for sharing her story.
My pleasure - she's great isn't she.
2024, I wanted to fly MSFS in my home-cockpit and instead I'm enjoying these videos 😁! A lot of ppl think 'oh, 11 years, soooo old' and don't realize the best real photo-books are decades old. When I google for 'photo websites' I can only find crap like camera-reviews and WordPress modules and BS like that and NOTHING (!!!) about real photography. Such a shame! Real photographers with real photographic artistic feeling and tips are very rare these days. So thank you very much for this channel! I miss the days I've shot my Beirette rangefinder, where everything was manually set, including the distance. I've spent long years in the darkroom, full of excitement checking the still wet negative material hanging in the grandma's kitchen. Still today, I'm careful pressing the shutter on my phone, as I was paying so much for every frame back then. Greetings from Slovakia!
Thank you - and greetings right back to Slovakia!
Hi Sir, I always liked photography but somehow didn't take it seriously. I started watching photography videos on KZread in 2017 and frankly I was so impressed by your teaching that, I bought a secondhand DSLR D300 and started taking photography seriously. Thank you so much sir. God bless you.
That's great to hear - keep up the good work!
Great video. Well explained
Thank you very much.
Perfect Explanation
Thank you very much.
Miss your videos sir 😢
Sorry to hear that, you could sign up to my mailing list... I do still send the odd newsletter?! www.photographycourses.biz/new-video-notification
I'm a grown man and I wish I was as calm and cool as she is.
For sure... me too!!!
Great to see some of the banter between those who hang out in the mentor group! It's a brilliant bunch of people!!!!!! Great to learn from everybody's images. Always invaluable. Thanks Mike for the feedback you bring on all sorts of images. I often stop and think when an image comes up, what might be some feedback that will come . . . . It helps me think through and learn as we go.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for your support as always Denise
Hi Mike, what wrinkles on your face Mike, they are just LEADING LINES, 🤣🤣I really enjoyed this creative feedback, i'm always learning from your tips. Whether it's excluding something from a scene or including something, or standing back, they are useful tips that help my photography. Everyone did a great job from Randy, Irfon, Michelle, Maud, Rob and his Sunset, Bjern and the Caterpillar, Neil, Iain, Karen, Jane. Amanda, Herve with the Shoe Shining. Thanks Mike, great talent in this group. 😊
Thanks for the comment and for being part of this awesome group 😊
Your very welcome Mike, 😊
Happy to have found these old gems from your 'Beyond the Lens' email. Thanks!
And I appreciate you reading my email!! 😊
We miss your videos!Do more pls
If only they paid the rent - I would!!
Everything WellPlanned !!!!!!

RuSSkie trole przypuściły atak nawet na 2letni filmik. Wiem, że się nie przejmujesz ale... DOCEŃ JEGO SIŁĘ - skoro sie nim zaintresowali ;) :D (i... aż ciekawe jak to googe przetłumaczy? ;)) [Russian trolls even attacked a 2-year-old video. I know you don't care but... APPRECIATE HIS POWER - since they are interested in him ;) :D (and... I wonder how Google will translate it? ;))] ...........................................I jak wyszło? ;) ;p
Setting up the diopter is one of the most important settings in a new DSLR, and this video is the best tutorial on that. Thank you, sir.
Thanks so much - I appreciate it 😊
Since your video camera is on a tripod. Hang a simply silver reflector on the tripod below the camera to bounce some light back at you. Still not enough light, aim a torch into the reflector.
Thanks for the comment 😊
I feel the same way about videos that have titles saying, “Is such and such camera relevant today?” and they are talking about a camera less than 5 years old.
Too true...
Please do cloudy day in a forest!
I would if I could..
Great video explaining, thank you!
Thank you - it still stands the test of time.
i was going to hit the dislike until i saw the pictures, amazing!
thanks
You are my all time best Photography mentor. May you live long
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you Sir for this video
I appreciate the comment :-)
Mike loved that video
Thanks Terry.
I can't believe Mike that you are behind these 🇺🇦 crim👹inals. The regime in Kiev is pushing Europe into nuclear world war 3, so good luck there in 🇬🇧. 🇷🇺 he has something to defend himself and it will do it. Therefore, I am very disappointed in you🤦 and do you know Volhynia 1943? Then read what they did to us Pol🇵🇱es🤨
Mama wie? Pozwala Ci takie głupoty wygadywać? ;)
@@piotrjerzy2071a twoja wie co powiła My🇺🇦koła😱. Nie bój się. Kamaszu czekają 👍
terrible propa🇺🇸ganda🤮. this is not our war and Ukraine is a pain in the world. The most criminal regime on earth after the USA, which led to a civil war. Banderites flooded Poland like locusts and because of them everything became more expensive and Poles lost their jobs and hope for a normal life.
thanks for your opinion
Mama wie? Pozwala Ci takie głupoty wygadywać? ;)

RACJA! Do wyboru jest 'RuSSki mir' = wybór należy do Ciebie :D
Its genuinely unreal how good of a presenter you are, bravo
Thank you so much.
always the people you meet that you remember.
Very very true :-)
2024. And dang this is such a quality video that worth all the time in the world! Bless you!
It's the explanation that doesn't age with time! Thank you for your comment.
I understand how the focal length changed, but how is that connected to the argument of walking closer instead of zooming?
I don't think it's an argument. When you compare the same compositions taken at different focal lengths the difference in environment is obvious. In order to do it you have to move your body to compensate for the magnification. So if you want to include a lot of environment and say more in the image about the subject, you know which lens will achieve that and you move accordingly to get the magnification / fill the frame...
Purchased today Nikon P1000 I hope its worth, at least for hobby..
If you enjoy it.... it's worth it!!
04:55 looks like 5 star swimming pool. lol
yey right!!
