Thank you very much! Indeed I enjoyed a lot. I am very tired of "photographers" and "photography" channels only talking about gear. These kind of real (and very good BTW) photography videos are very needed and difficult to find. We are always waiting for more! ¡Saludos desde España!
The gear thing is puzzling to me. I find it somewhat exhausting but I also lose interest in a very short amount of time. One of the best photographers I know used an Nikon FM2 up until just a few years ago. Everyone had gone digital and he had not only stayed with film he stayed with this primitive little machine. But in all the conversations about photography we had, and through all the advice he gave me, we never once spoke about the camera.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Dan is a master at so many things! No BS, straight to the point and yes, please more of these series! I learn so much from „uncle Dan“ and especially from these series. Make an online course and I will buy it on the spot! 💪😬🎯
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Haha! Sure, it´s the least I can, after you have been giving so many goodies in your videos! 😉😬 Looking very much forward for the next one
Another beautiful video with Mr. Milnor. Please keep doing these videos because we learn a lot from you, from your videos, shifter media and your podcast.
Daniel you are the man. Your educational videos are terrific. There is nothing comparable on TH-cam. I love this image a lot. It's so alive and emotional.
Thank you for making these videos. They are enjoyable to watch. As an M7 shooter I have picked up quite a few really good pointers from you. Never thought about my feet placement when panning!
My wife shouted at me earlier. When I asked why, She said "You smashing all the photos that's on the wall to the floor!". So I said "Marc said we should break down our images". Help me here, Man! :)
Your film photography is an absolute masterpiece, lovely, human, documentary.......it have motion everywhere and sharpness on the main subjects, and they are against brighter background taking more presence and standing out from the rest. A great great picture, congrats.
More of these please. I use to be subscribed to a channel that broke down images from past masters, now he just does gear talks. I haven't been able to find this content in years. Your images, others, I don't mind, just, why an image made the cut.
Daniel, I appreciate very much your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience! I've been photographing with out of date films and I've been wondering whether screening at airports can damage the unused films that are not in cases, but wrapped in black paper?
This is a great series. Like going to school while in my pajamas! ;-) Even with your pics that I’m not crazy about, I still learn a lot. BTW, this pic I really like.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 It may be that "access" to photography through gear is simply way easier. The art is the hard part and I believe takes years to develop for most of us. I am on that path and virtual mentors like you are priceless for amateurs like me.
"I don't like it, you're a hack, doesn't work for me....that's fine, I don't care, works for me." Hahaha. Still laughing. Tried some motion pans a while back. Conceptually it worked, even though the images weren't good. But every time I step away from motion, I have to remember how to do it again. Love that image.
Great picture, great art, especially the effect with camera motion. To my mind the 2 women which are the main subject are placed too centrally... at least I wonder if they are ideally placed, and if the composition could be stronger. They also compete for attention with the 2 women holding hands. Not meaning to criticise, rather just wondering to myself. Deep respect for all that is so obviously right... which is 99% !!
I think we can always, pretty much, find something to improve on. For me, at least at this point in my life, an image is just about my initial reaction. I can edit and edit quickly because I've done it for a long, long while, and when I think about what makes me choose one over another it's mostly about initial feel and reaction. Where things get tricky is when you start thinking about the mindset of the viewer, the audience and those in the photograph.
Excellent video as always. While the image was not up to my "WOW" taste (social media is very noisy these days and they take away your appetite for good food with bad and quick food), it did make me curious and my eyes landed right on those two ladies and made me think "what is going on here". I paused the video on that image, thought for a while before watching rest of the video. I like that my thoughts on photography is being changed slowly and gradually.
Social can flood our brains with enough content that it builds up a layer of...something, so it is nice to slow down from time to time. I had fun making this images, that's for sure.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Thanks, I am not brave enough to go back to film, but I might do that just to slow me down (switched to GFX 50S to slow down the shooting process and it helps with portraits and landscapes). Thanks for responding. I am looking forward to your future videos as well.
It's amazing, Because the photo is technically not "correct" in any way, But it catches my eyes because basically everything is in motion. First thing that catches my eyes are the dynamics of the photo (Nothing is still), The contrast and the couple in the center.
If you are using a electronic camera, commonly referred to as a digital camera, then you are still in the analog era. Why? Because the light collecting sensor, like film, is an analog device. Yes, your sensor is analog and the light or photons collected do not become digital data until it goes through an analog-to-digital converter. What I'm saying is that using the term analog to describe a type of photography is useless. It tells me nothing.
That is really what youtube needs. I am so feed up with all this gear videos.
🙏 we agree!
My gear is old and too simple to require a video.
Thank you very much! Indeed I enjoyed a lot. I am very tired of "photographers" and "photography" channels only talking about gear. These kind of real (and very good BTW) photography videos are very needed and difficult to find. We are always waiting for more! ¡Saludos desde España!

we for sure will be making a course with Dan in 2020 so stay tuned!
Probably my most important role...uncle. Thanks for taking time to write.

No way??? Someone listens to my podcast? You might be the first George. Lots more on the way.
Daniel you are the man. Your educational videos are terrific. There is nothing comparable on TH-cam. I love this image a lot. It's so alive and emotional.
Gilles. I was lucky. Went to school for photography. We spent loads of time standing in front of our peers trying to explain why we did what we did.
I photographed in Cusco in April of 2018 for ten days. It was my first time there. Altitude sickness aside, it was the most beautiful experience.
Nothing like a blinding headache to assist the image-making process.
Well done, Dano. Keep it up.
🙏
Thank you for making these videos. They are enjoyable to watch. As an M7 shooter I have picked up quite a few really good pointers from you. Never thought about my feet placement when panning!
Great to hear! Stay tuned for more in 2020!
Learned it from shooting shotguns when I was a kid. Very important to have a solid foundation. Same applies to camera.
Yes, please keep doing these videos! This is what photography is all about!
🙏
I'll be trickling them out....
Please do continue the series, and here's to hoping you decide to return to doing workshops in the future...
will do thanks!
Hey Clinton, I'm will be teaching in 2020 but it's not a typical workshop situation. But glad you are liking the films.
Keep swimming with this....it is very informative and I’m loving it! Thank you.
Just commenting saying please continue these, I love them.
We will!
Thank you, I really enjoy these detailed breakdowns! Keep doing them!
They also fit the time I have for making films which at this point isn't much.
Really makes me think about my own work with some new insights. Thanks for making this stuff. Keep it up.
We will!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is great.. aesthetics and creativity keep em coming thanks for sharing!!
🙏
A great series, thanks, Dan. I really enjoy seeing another photographers' view.
Excellent. Very thought provoking.
always interesting to see a break down of a photo
🙏
Great video, Daniel. Thanks and keep them coming!
🙏
Very very good video! I love watching every one of them!
Awesome!
Dan as always, is spot on about breaking down this image. Try this with one of yours, what do you see?
My wife shouted at me earlier. When I asked why, She said "You smashing all the photos that's on the wall to the floor!". So I said "Marc said we should break down our images". Help me here, Man! :)
Haha. You’re on your own there my friend!
Advancing Your Photography ha ha :-)
ah, so fantastic. always grateful for another dose of wisdom from señor Milnor!
Me too
Your film photography is an absolute masterpiece, lovely, human, documentary.......it have motion everywhere and sharpness on the main subjects, and they are against brighter background taking more presence and standing out from the rest.
A great great picture, congrats.
the art of photography... considering how to approach a subject/shot vs what gear. Thought provoking and i definitely have to listen and adopt
Awesome, thanks!
Wonderful image and refreshing description. I'm enjoying this series, please keep it going. Thank you.
we will, thanks for watching!
This was excellent and very educational. Please keep doing these.
We will!
Really beautiful image, it has such great feel to it, and now I better understand the 'why'.
Thanks John, appreciate it.
Love all his videos
🙏
Thank you. please continue the series
🙏 we will!
Don’t quit TH-cam!!! Do more like this please 🙏
More of these please. I use to be subscribed to a channel that broke down images from past masters, now he just does gear talks. I haven't been able to find this content in years. Your images, others, I don't mind, just, why an image made the cut.
Really love the image and the break down. Thanks for the awesome content.
I love Cusco will go back soon

Even with your pics that I’m not crazy about, I still learn a lot. BTW, this pic I really like.
Great stuff - so important to move away from tech and learn the art - and I need lots of education!
The art part is way more fun anyway...
@@DANIELMILNOR505 It may be that "access" to photography through gear is simply way easier. The art is the hard part and I believe takes years to develop for most of us. I am on that path and virtual mentors like you are priceless for amateurs like me.
@@Bazzasphotolife There are no shortcuts with the art side, at least in my mind. I think your view is right on.
Agree with all points, great photo...
Great job on this break down my man. Respect. Im Shooting a iiif , great cam also

It's a good addition to the skill pack. It can be overused. In fact I just did it again the other night and I didn't really need to.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I think I saw that one - Cold Lonesome? I really like that photo. I like seeing movement in photos.
@@sbhopper8511 Yep. I'd rate that a C- in terms of being a good image but it was nice being there and having something to remember the moment.

@@rhonaldjohnrose5861 For me it's not about fear, just logistics. No idea what I'll do in the future.

Interesting thoughts.

Hey Kids???
Keep that kid mindset. Kids see the world with new eyes every day, something us older photogs need to tap into.
If you are using a electronic camera, commonly referred to as a digital camera, then you are still in the analog era. Why? Because the light collecting sensor, like film, is an analog device. Yes, your sensor is analog and the light or photons collected do not become digital data until it goes through an analog-to-digital converter. What I'm saying is that using the term analog to describe a type of photography is useless. It tells me nothing.
For the rest of us the distinction works quite well. But for the pedantic, I can see how these common terms can be so darn problematic.
