Dang Thomas, you're back! How lovely to get another video from you. Hope you're well buddy, it's been a long time

[@thomasfitzgerald]

Thanks - yeah - last few months have been crazy. I hope to try and get back to more regular YouTubing now. And I had lots of plans for videos too, but work was so busy I just didn't have time.

[@mikebeecham]

I still refer back to some of your Fuji processing videos and PDF, so just know that the work you put out does still have an impact!@@thomasfitzgerald

Very timely for me. Just shot a few seascapes in Norway and wondering how to treat them. This has given me some good pointers, and I persauded me I need to reinstall the Nik Collection!
