I have had the opportunity to take a couple of workshops with Joe. He is the Real Deal. He isn’t just the best in class, he’s a great guy. No pretense, no ego, just a true desire to help fellow photographers get better. He is an extraordinary man whose work will humble you. Thank you, Joe. Marty Conrad
Joe, it's always a pleasure to hear you speak, whatever the subject. You've shared so much with us over the years, and I am sincerely grateful. Thank you!
Joe McNally’s writing, lighting & photography skills are unparalleled. He absolutely is the real deal & has been for over 50years. He is so humble & kind & his sense of humour is evident in his writing skills. I am all ”eyes” & “ears” for anything with respect to Joe McNally.😊❤
I agree with the previous comment: Joe McNally is the REAL DEAL! We can all learn from his down-to-earth views....MANY THANKS!
Great interview. Politely probing questions with insightful answers from a true master of the craft of photography and our time. Joe McNally is the Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan of photography-mastering the transition from analog to digital. Although the today's gear can really help and make shots possible, a great paintbrush like the available cameras in 2022 in the hands of a master like McNally make images memorable for the ages. Joe's latest book catalogs the ups and downs of the life of a photographer with his photos and his insight and view from behind the viewfinder.
Great interview FVJ....A legend indeed...
Excellent interview. I have been a follower of Joe McNally for a long time and always appreciate his insights. Frederick, you do have a gift, as Joe mentioned. Awesome questions that really brought out the depth of Joe's knowledge. Thank you for allowing me to watch two gifted people in this interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this -- -- Joe's book "The Real Deal" is a great read.
I for one am both amazed and relieved by the Z9 and the prograde Z series lenses like the 70-200 that are now readily available. I only hope the software firms like Adobe catch up fast.
The Z9 is allowing me to focus on creativity rather than purely on honing specific skills and struggling to capture the moment.
I am amazed by the AF, the 20fps 45.7mp and then there is the 120fps 11mp. As primarily a wildlife shooter I am joyous shooting 20fps with the Z9's AF system allowing me to achieve a hit/success rate 5-10 times what I achieved with my previous Nikon Pro Bodies (D5, D850, Z7) in the similar settings. AND being able to shoot 6 times the number of images per second to secure the precise moment something happens is wild for that moment.
Like Joe I am learning mine and re learning how to put the creative wildlife image I want to achieve far higher up my process than just the technique to secure a sharp image of an event.
Joyous is the right term. Struggle was my term before the Z9 arrived.
Great interview! Loved Joe’s response on the social media question. I am looking forward to reading his latest book.
At the top of his game and the game, Joe is truly “the real deal!”
Excellent interview gentlemen and excellent questions Frederick! I very much enjoyed the discussion. I find Joe to be very inspiring, insightful and a photographer whose work I’ve always admired. Best of luck to both of you!
Thank you both for putting some wind in my sails, amazing interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview! Thank you for the inspiration!
You can learn the passion but to live the passion is different. To live the passion is much more deeper.
Fantastic interview, thank you sir!
This is my first video I have seen of your channel, and you are an incredible interviewer! I was completely captivated by your questions and the responses to them. My hat is off to you. Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you! That's some high praise!
This man has a large influence on me!
Automatic settings obscure the reason for finding the enjoyment of capturing images …for photography. You need to see the image in your mind then use the equipment to specifically produce your image. The equipment can not automatically figure out what inspiration you are trying to produce.
My 'social' is terrible... In more ways than one which also explains why I almost never point a camera at a human much as I'd like to.
Dedicated photographers always carry a camera… The camera of our vision and brain, which has already captured the image, before it’s ever materialized in a camera.
I find Joes comments, comparing photography as a hobby to sports, to highlight a main difference… Photography is mainly a cerebral exercise, everything else follows that… Sports is main,y physical, everything else follows that… Photography is closer to having hobbies such as chess, or board games… It tends to invade the way you see ( or at least for me it does) the world, and interact with people. The main danger with photography, is that it may distance you from people, even when in company with them, because your mind is elsewhere than being social
I take issue with the fact that Joe is a Nikon Ambassador, and he, with no specific qualifications of new enabling tech ologies, argues that the Z9 is better than D850… I fell his recommendation to be forced, forced by his connection to Nikon… This is an issue with every single TH-cam reviewer, they never disclose their reasons to make recommendations for specific gear!!! Sony is the main issue, as they clearly provide the best monetary kickbacks, and paid trips etc. to their ambassadors
I would think Joe’s experience of actually USING the 2 cameras would give him everything he needed to know to make that statement.
