After several years of not being able to commit to buying a camera and taking iPhone only photos, I recently got a great deal on an A7rii with 50mm lens and have been diving in head first. These videos have been the most helpful for someone who is just getting into it but isn't too dumbed down or too much time explaining stuff. Lots of great tips!!
I learnt more throughout you 15 minute video, than I have in 18 months. The way you explain different ideas and methods is so simple to follow...basically no waffle and bull****! I'm really looking forward to getting back out there with my camera 🙂 Thanks 😉👍😉
First off Mark its US who subscribed to your wonderful channel that should be saying a HUGE thank you to YOU for your time in making these VERY informative videos 👍 It wont be long before you have over the 100k subscribers mate 😁 As always your video was much appreciated by me 😃
Mark I am so glad I found your channel. You deserve every subscriber you get and I’m sure your channel will blow up to be massive. Thank you helping us. Your time and hard work is greatly appreciated.
I have been watching so many videos and yours are definitely the best. The way you speak, your words, your explanation. Now 219K, we are far from 50k! haha well done! Congratulation, you deserve it.
This is REALLY well-deserved! :-) There is just something about you that makes you stand out from all the other channels (in a good way). It might be your friendly, calm aura or just the fact that you make me understand stuff quicker that other channels do. You just give us this "worlds best teacher"-vibe. :) Keep it going /Oscar
Just discovered your channel. Finding it most helpful. Presentations are clear and examples are very helpful. My 9th grade grand daughter is getting into photography and this is going to help me help her. Thanks for doing this!!
WOOOOWWW!!.. I had to stop and go back to the photos you were showing at a couple seconds after the 5 minute mark. That eagle is AMAZING!!! I have a lake behind my house where we get bald eagles diving/eating all the time. I'd LOVE to get a shot like that!
Thank you Mark. You are certainly a very important person within a very small selection of talented, understandable & seriously easy to follow photographers. Thank you for your time & skills. Neville J.
Had to add my CONGRATULATIONS MARK! you have come so far from when you started. I will continue to watch and some day will chase you down for an autograph...lol
Mark, you are great! I just found your channel a few days ago. I am shooting with the Sony a6400 and love landscape photography. That's the majority of my pictures when I travel. I sure learn a lot from you and will apply those advises, techniques that you have mention next time I travel which is 3 weeks from now.
Great explanation on how to get the best settings especially the ne on shutter speed. This is one thing I do not ask myself when setting up a shot so thank you and wow 52k congratulations 👏👏
Another great video, Mark. I constantly find myself snapping away like a madman just after briefly checking my settings. This is a great reminder for me to slow down and think of different ways to create a photo. 👍🏻👍🏻
Don't know if you'll see this after three years but I just noticed something interesting. Your image of valley in Yosemite is nearly the same composition as the Ansel Adams photo "Clearing Winter Storm" which I have on my wall. Probably a common comp these days but thought I'd mention it.
Bit late to the party, so congratulations on nearly trebling you subscribers since making this video, myself included. Excellent advice for a beginner like myself, will try this thought process out as I have often wondered how settings are decided on. I understand the Exposure Triangle quite well but settings can be quite baffling for a beginner, this video helps enormously. For a beginner like myself would you still recommend shooting in RAW despite the fact that I’m not too interested in “post production” at the moment, just want to get competent with using my camera and sharing any reasonable images with friends on social media etc? Keep up the great work Mark, I tune in regularly and I am taking on board all the superb advice 👍
Mark, I watch a lot of TH-cam lol and I can see you're skilled at this. This channel will definitely blow up if you continue to make videos. Your explanations are simple and easy to understand, you're knowledgeable, your voice is soothing lol This is a successful recipe. Congrats on the 50k and all of those that follow
Love your work Mark, been following you for some time now and I’ve really learned a lot from your videos and insights, so for that you say to you, Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello, really enjoyed the video. thank you so much for the information. I primarily shoot wildlife in manual mode with auto ISO. I am getting into landscape photography too and wanted to know your thoughts on using manual mode with auto ISO.
Great video Mark, and congrats on 52k! Doesn't feel like it's been very long since you celebrated 30k! Following up on the masking video, I've been using it and wow! One thing I find myself forgetting it's to close down my aperture more. I don't know if I've ever taken A photo at F/11. I'll have to try and remember next time. See you next week my friend!
Erick Lindberg Much appreciated Erick! I’d say over half of my photos are probably taken at f/11. I find it’s a good balance between depth of field plus one of the sharper apertures of my lenses👍
Great! ¿How we protect camera from damage in this kind of weather like in your photos? The humidity in the air, fog, etc. Should we keep the camera warm somehow? I Know is better to cover it, but the air moisture might get in the cam and Lens? I have canon EOS m50 mark2
Thank u so much, precise and to the point, explained so well.. thats what i like.. it would be more helpful if u show practically performing the things that u r saying.. -Definitely subscribing your channel now..
@@MarkDenneyPhoto it really is. You inspire people, well certainly me, to go out there and try to make great photos. These vids helps me to improve my photography and for that I thank you!
Hey Mark! First off thank you for your time with all the information you put out there for us aspiring photographers. I do want to request more On Site videos though. I feel like I learn much more when actually watching you find compositions and the best settings while on location in different environments and weather. I do appreciate every video though but just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks again
Many thanks Steven! Great to hear that you're enjoying the channel! I have a project I'm working on that'll result in an on-location video in the very near future:)
I think in the ISO section you suggested that if faced with under exposure (histogram piled toward shadows) try increasing ISO or “increasing” shutter speed. How does that work?
Aperture priority or manual mode, both with auto ISO are much better for action shots than shutter priority. I would never want my camera to decide the aperture and depth of view.
Hello Mark, congratulations I can see the amount of work and preparation for this vlog, my thanks to you. Question: I do not do my own printing, I send them away, but I had a problem, not enough megabytes, which resulted in an unsharp print. Do you have a vlog for such a thing, and if not, would you consider doing one, for large prints. I know that 300 dpi is perfect but what about pixel sizes? Regards Allan
Hi Mark. Great video as always. I think you could have touched upon "where to focus" right after #3...what focus mode. I have watched your videos on that subject, but wondered whether you used focus stacking or focused 1/3 of the way in for your shots. Thank you.
Another enjoyable video. I save yours for my pre-sleep "reading" time slot - to be inceptively inspired overnight. Congrats on the 50k, 100 on the horizon (f11, 1/6).
Hi Mark, love your videos, I am keen to learn the nuances of landscape photography. I am curious as to your thoughts on hyperfocal distances, expose to the right and focus stacking in landscape photography. I understand that all settings in photography involve compromise, ISO vs shutter speed vs aperture etc. Maybe a set of topics for a future video? Thanks for your efforts, Phil from Oz
I want to know, if the falling leaves in a landscape making blurry trails could be unseen by slowing down the shutter speed drastically enough not to be recorded at all because in the woods where everything is standstill only the leaves are the troubles? It's almost impossible, I presume, to correct such blurriness in Lightroom! I don't know If so please let me know, it'll be a great help! Take care and embellish us with your exceptional knowledge of landscape photography!
When i realized that i already knew these things, but not have a camera, doing with only smartphone. 🙃 Btw, Thankyou ❣️ Your way of explaining is Excellent.
You say you usually underexpose your images? Haven't you considered ETTR (exposure to the right)? From my experience underexposing can introduce unwanted noise (banding) if you later lift shadows in post. Or is this not so much of a problem with the newest cameras? Anyway, as long as you don't clip any highlights I think it's much better to overexpose.
50K!! Many thanks again for subscribing, commenting & liking the videos! It really means a lot to me!

Joshua H I find myself doing the same thing at time! Great to hear you enjoyed it Joshua!
Mark, please, and about diffraction effect when you use f14, f16...?
Cesar Augusto Margato The higher your Fstop the more your lens will suffer from diffraction. I’d avoid anything above f18 on most lenses.
Tks
I learned a lot from this! thank you

JRB Photography Thanks so much - this is great to hear!!
Thank you, instructive video
Can you explain why you underexposed the image to protect the highlights? Is this have any benefits in editing?
Just curious, for static landscape why are you shooting at a high F stop, vs shooting focus stacked?

Mark Love your videos! this was excellent ! I learn so much from you ..
Great advice!
What metering mode should I use for landscape?
When taking landscape pictures, my biggest dilemma is, what the heck do I focus on and what should be the focus mode?
I think in the ISO section you suggested that if faced with under exposure (histogram piled toward shadows) try increasing ISO or “increasing” shutter speed. How does that work?
Guermeister Doodlebug You’d want to increase your shutter speed to let less light in and decrease your shutter speed to let more light in.
Congratulations! 💥 from India
Thanks so much! It's very much appreciated!

First time watching your videos, really helpful tips there, would you recommend the Tamron 17 - 28mm as a good landscape lens?
You say you usually underexpose your images? Haven't you considered ETTR (exposure to the right)?
From my experience underexposing can introduce unwanted noise (banding) if you later lift shadows in post. Or is this not so much of a problem with the newest cameras?
Anyway, as long as you don't clip any highlights I think it's much better to overexpose.
I will share this with others. At the camera club.
Great to hear Bob - thank yoU!
In terms of noise is it normal to have red pixels spread across the photograph or is this due to under/overexposed shot?
Sir what is hyper focal length? How to use? Can u make video of it?
Yes, I'll see if I can put a video together on the topic!
Congratulations!!
