So glad to see you back.

Great to see you back and somewhat out there. Take care of yourself and don't over do it, but don't be afraid to test the limits as you see fit.

Great to have you back man! Keep healing. 💪

Gooid to see you with a camera again. What you did there is actually just what you need to do to recover. I know , as I have been trough similar, 6-7 times And from now on you'll get better by the day, it's just important that you do mobilize yorself and walk. But someone is probably nagging you about that every day, lol

Good to see you again, and yeah those first outings after a major thing like that gets to you. And that is a good thing! It proves you are human. Enjoy the summer!

Dont worry hang in there real medical marvels for everyone soon! Go holistic for now.

it's those little things, man. youndpmt realize how much you miss that wild flower until you can't see it for a while.

Ignore the click bait comments. All youtubers use it, it's how they make money and get clicks and it's the rules of the business unfortunately. You carry on bud 😄

Prayers for a safe and successful recovery. Love love your videos and your full honesty you crack me us. Great laughter !!! Thank you for your courage, bravery and service. As others have said, take your time we are all rooting for you. Sincerely 5:14

Well this is one TH-camr I'll never watch again. Inflammatory, insulting and derogatory clickbait titles are a red flag to avoid this channel and creator in the future.

That first ice shot… did you stitch a few photos together vertically? Apologies for the (probably) dumb question. I’m a newb and it looked like you were facing down into the water but the image had background and sun in the top of the frame.

Click bait. Not impressed with the thinking and therefore the title! Shall I subscribe? 🤔 Ah no!

For me it just comes down to how I'm feeling, sometimes it is nice to just carry a single light prime around and not have too much pressure to capture images. I also like the consistency between shots you can get from shooting at a fixed focal length. The fast aperture can come in handy sometimes but for me it's not the main reason to use a prime for landscapes.

No crime for being outdone by Simon Baxter - Henry either!

I have 2 V5's and a V4. Excellent lighting for the money

It's discontinued

Nothing cheap about it

The peacefulness here is almost surreal. The waves, some Hollow Coves, and the click of a shutter. Perfection in "Short" form! 🤙

Just found this video. Looking real hard at Neewer for all the same reasons you laid out here. Thanks for this. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🌴 📸

Click bait and not a very nice way of doing it calling another photographer full of shit. I can see why you've only got 312 subscribers.

Not sure your point came across. The light in the woodland was a hrash as it gets.

Great video Tony , really enjoyed it. I,look forward to checking the rest of your vids out. 👍

How did I miss this one! As you commented on my video just today, I guess you came out on the other side. Been trough some major suregry myself in the last 10 years. Just take it slow, and work you way back slowly, specially when you start to feel stronger again!

In my nascent years of photography, those being influenced by my father, his friend Minor White and the likes of Weston and Adams and Aaron Siskind, prime lenses were the ONLY lenses which could be depended on for being sharp always. Today's zooms are far better optically than when I came up in the trade and I use them regularly for their versatility HOWEVER, given my upbringing, the discipline required in positioning yourself, your view point in order to frame the "better" shot that a prime lens demands, is a function of "Slowing Down" when seeking images. The eye becomes lazy when you can settle for zooming in a little more or going wider and not having to move yourself and the camera in order to get the shot. Ansel would work with a 90mm or a 120mm on an 8x10 or 11x14 field camera and spend hours finding the right spot! This is why all these years later we still talk of his Mastery, Weston's genius, not to mention his son Brett or Imogen Cunningham and Willard Van Dyke, all prominent members of the f64 group. If you are serious about pursuing the "Art" then you take the time and I don't mean in any way that you MUST use only prime lenses, as I said I use zooms much of the time, it's about the mentality, the thought processes and "TAKING THE TIME" before you commit to a shot. I'm a fully committed "Digital Shooter" today after over 35 years shooting film and I'll never go back. However, I have to say the ridiculous freedom that digital affords me, shooting RAW/JPEG Fine I still go out on a day and have between 500 and 1K possible exposures available to me and that is something perhaps detrimental to my work. When EVERYTHING depended on how many rolls of film do I have or can I carry, how many magazines and sheets of film do I have available today, then you as a photographer spent much more time in thoughtful consideration of whether to commit to an exposure before you just set up and shot! In the end of all this I can both support the championing of a "Prime" lens and equally a fine zoom, the 24-70 f2.8 for example being one of my go-to lenses now, and it still remains only a matter of discipline and why I shoot 90% plus from a tripod. TAKE YOUR TIME! So many images we take and I'm also guilty of this, are very Sub-Par because we just thought "Why the hell not." and took the shot. When I was on my last roll, and the counter read, 32 and I had only four potential exposures left, MAN did I EVER previsualize and husband those last 4 frames!

I’m now 75 and had quadruple bypass surgery 11 years ago. The absolute worst part of recovery was not using my arms to get out of a chair or roll over in bed etc. for 8 weeks! I was up and about after 2 days and out of the hospital in 3. Before I left, a nurse pointed at my chest and said, “It’s guys like you we see back here with a separated sternum because they try to use their arms. She was dead serious. I joined an online support group for bypass patients and heard a number of folks that had separated their sternum. That was a nightmare for them because at that point it would never heal! But, my recovery was amazing, and since then I’ve ridden 11,000+ miles on my bicycle. I really encourage you to try cycling if you can. It’s an almost perfect exercise since you can go from a walking pace to a flat-out sprint, and everything in between. My second piece of advice is to get a chest-strap heart monitor and either a phone app or other device to track your heart rate. If you do cardiac rehab they will help you find your “target heart rate” for exercise. You don’t want to push too hard, but the problem with most folks after bypass is that they are not pushing hard enough. You’re not going to blow out a graft, and eventually find the right level of exertion. Good luck and take good care of yourself. You won’t regret it. If all goes well, it’s like getting a second chance at life.

Are you becoming desperate? It looks as if you are crawling up by stepping on others? Even using a body you 'love'. Strange community. Always full of surprices and s... like you say.

Wrong Titles will cost you subscribers ... think carefully before you press the ok button!

Dreadful sound!

Woodland photography - you need the right woods some are a busy mess. Primes are great for those patient enough to use them. I use primes because I get great image quality and zoom lenses as sharp would cost more than I can afford, I use a d7200, quite a demanding censer at 24mp.

Well young man Open surgery goes well for you Have your wife in hand with a GoPro or a cell phone Capturing the moment when you come out of surgery and able to at least eat something which might be around 2 Days later I know of 3 people already had that type of surgery first person with my father second person with my uncle and my brother brother And I think there's a fourth in there my other uncle So smoking kills in one way or another Don't know if you ever did but My family yes

I'm watching this 3 days later, so I'm sure hoping that everything turned out positive for you. I'm pulling for you.

Maybe that’s a bit harsh. Woodland photography is slightly different to open scene landscape photography as with woodland photography you have to isolate to make the shot work 99% of the time. So yes a prime would work well as you said for what your doing.

Hey Tony... wishing you best of health.. it's April 16th so you're off the table and in recovery/ICU. Hope you are doing well.. that things went successfully and you aren't going stir crazy. Rehabing will suck. Lean on your friends and family. take care. David

Not a fan of calling fellow TH-cam photographers "full of shit." There is enough hate and inuslts on the internet already. Then taking back calling Henry Truner full of shit in your video description once your click bait tactic has worked hardly makes things better. In fact it's probably worse. You are saying you are going to call somebody "full of shit" just to get clicks. I assume that's what "just riding his coat tails" means? There is enough clickbait divisive hate and anger on the internet already and now you bring a taste of it to landscape photography????

Top clickbait title! The thing I find by photographing a bit of everything is how forgiving landscape photography tends to be. There's obviously uses as you mentioned but gear is almosr a non issue. If you're trying to capture a moving animal in fading light you can't use a crappy superzoom like mine. You need the big sensor, you need the wide aperture, you can't focus stack or exposure blend or do a multi-shot pano to compensate. You can get away with pretty much anything when capturing a tree or mountain. The biggest limiting factor is typically the idiot behind the camera (me).

Sometimes landscape photography is as much about the hike as it is about the pictures you take. Love the picture of the tree in the lake. Hope you sell prints of it.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery. We’ll be here waiting whenever you’re ready to come back. I had a stroke last year aged 41. If it taught me anything, it was to listen to your body. It’ll let you know when you’re ready. Stay strong 💪

Wishing you nothing but the best, looking forward to seeing more videos from you. I like the term "using my body as an amusement park". I went through that phase "if I do not come back bloody or bruised it was not worth going". I am a 13 year Navy vet, they taught me some bad habits.

Hope you recover soon, we'll all be here whenever you are ready to come back. Take your time and don't rush back into anything.

I'm absolutely sick of this scatter brained American rambling in the photography field. Nothing that comes out of America matches the skills of British photographers, of which you mentioned just two. Your silly rant is pointless.

I love Henry T and Simon B. Both Immense in their own way. Just subscribed to your channel, lo e how you come across on camera. Great job mate

I must say, your words I can relate to,we are from different backgrounds and life experiences, but life we have to live ,keep up your vids, you have given me my mind to think and to work out in my way, my future path in my life's journey

Not sure what you proved with this video to be honest. Henry obviously just has a different opinion on the uses of a prime based on his own likes and dislikes, the same as other photographers. I use both because I like both. It’s just down to individual opinions and tastes at the end of the day.

I want to comment, but I have nothing positive after watching. Are you right. Sure, but is Turner fos? Ball busting aside. Isn't this more about aperture rather than zoom or prime.
