Mike, I watch hours and hours of photography tutorials (don't worry I shoot as well haha) and I must say, yours are by far among the best - clear, concise, easy to follow along. Thank you for your free information!
I stumbled upon your videos looking for other photographers videos. I was hooked on your videos after watching my first two finds. They're very informative and I truly enjoy your style and delivery. You take the complex and explain it so it's understandable. Thank you
Thank you Mike, I'm so fortunate to find your helpful videos and as the others, I'm hooked on these. Thank you for the complex and easy to understand explaination, You are truly the best of the best, Aline Lim
I find these videos great for having some quality in my pictures. And they are great because Mike just loves what he is doing and he is very honest to us... I just don't understand the dislikes...
Thank you Rob. That would be an idea - and Jayne has been an unsung hereo as you say. In the 'about us' section on the website there's more info about Jayne and I. Though Jayne has left the business now and gone back to full time TV. Lorna is mow doing the filming. I'm going to make a video about us and what's been going on soon and will bear what you say in mind.
hi mike,thankyou so much for your tuitorials, fantastic,fun, i have struggled to understand other blogs but you sure are a professional in teaching, and now i am beginning to understand my camera,thanks again cheers Tim
Thanks for the great videos Mike. Between yours and Philip McCordall's I have a real source of practical plain speak and critical indepth references. One request though. You rely upon a number of key regular players in the making of these videos. It would be interesting to know some background on thes players. I have to say Jane is the unsung hero of many of the videos. Can we get her infont of the camera for some video inspired content as I am sure there is a lot to learn there as well. Rob
I suggest a focal range from eighteen to two hundred millimetres, an eighteen to two hundred millimetre super zoom, or perhaps an eighteen to seventy and a seventy to two hundred, go and have a look at our photography FAQ video which will help you. /watch?v=uBQkozxzVUQ
Ha ha - sadly no Mrinal chowdary because there are no 'Rules' - there's only what you like. Photography is creative and settings will change second by second according to what you want to achieve. The way you achieve it is up to you because there are many ways to do the same thing. I might make a photography rules myth buster video though... MIKE
Hi Mike, I noticed at about the 2:18 mark when you took the photo of your videographer, it seemed to me that you focused on the background first then took the picture of her. Is that what you did? If so, why did you do it like that?
Hi Boog Ste Lici - I focused using single point AF but the point was still on the side of the frame from an earlier shot so I had to swing the camera a long way to place it on Jayne. If you want to know more have a look at Photography Tips - FAQ 2
sorry, what? How does one move an immovable object in the frame? Well, perhaps I am really thick, but the only way I know how to do that is move my own self around. How else does one change the look of a frame?

Hi Mike ive been watching a lot of your videos all very good , But do you ever use filters for landscapes Kind regards Keith
Dorry for the very late response. Occaisionally use an ND grad or polariser. Though I don't shoot a lot of landscapes TBH
As usual great instruction --- Thanks!!
Thank you
My pleasure:)
Thanks Jeff. Stuff happens in life and we are...

Thank you. All my videos are recorded on Sony EX1r or PXW-X70 video cameras - MIKE
yipee for finding your videos !!!
Pleasure
can you please make a dedicated video for all the rules that exist in photography 😃😃😃

what I'm saying is that basic rules like the "rule of thirds" and "rule of thumb" and "reciprocal rule" things like that....
thank you...
Thank you:)
I once knew a photographer who drove himself insane trying to take a close up of the Horizon
Thanks !!!

Such simple dummy stuff ! ........ But so useful ! V interesting, thanks :)

Yep that's how you do it Iain. Move yourself to change / move alignment, move / tilt the camera to reposition them in the composition... MIKE
It's easy to do, you just need practise
