Yes IG seems like way too much work. I've considered hiring someone to do it for me.

Yes, I used to upload everyday but I doit like 2 times a week now.

Personally I actually don't include any tags OR captions at all. When I upload, most of the time it's just the pictures with no captions, or sometimes just a simple one telling my friends where I went in one line. Makes me truly proud of what I've posted, the photo.

I have to agree- of course, it seems you need to do SOME social media/IG these days... because nearly every time I talk to someone and mention I'm a photographer, "what's your Instagram" is the first thing I hear. *stares in "here's my website"*

Thank u so much ❤️❤️❤️

That's AMAZING!!

Wow u must be a cool grandma to have

Wow ! That is so glad. I am in my 30’s and my crush for photography is slowly turning towards love. But I wonder I am too late. Your post inspires me 😊. All the very best to you.

This whole thread is so wholesome! And congrats Joan!

@@karancricketer I got started in photography just 18 months ago and I am 67 now. I enjoy it immensely.

that quote hit me! and the part where he said, "compare yourself to who you were yesterday"

Customers are going to compare your work to others LMAO

You can apply this to everything else in life, dont compare to experts

@@jizzythefroggy1108 What customers? You think everyone who's into photography is doing it as a business? LMAO

Life changing words

Thanks man...God bless.

Thanks super helpful

Thanks dude.

It's ok. I can do all of things

He should mainly say that one shot, one point focusing is faster in most of situations than playing with some servos and touch screen. Ofcourse this doesn't really work for sport. I realized that manual focusing (with old lens with real mechanical gear) can be faster than playing with touch screens and some servos on modern cameras, which is really complicated and when you are using viewfinder, it's aslmost useless because you are touching screen with your nose, it just doesn't work. Some older cameras had joystick for selecting focus area, that was really great, but using touch screen for that purpose is pointless, I don't want to take pictures thru touchscreen, I want to use viewfinder. I tried even retrain myself for using right eye which should prevent touching screen by your nose, but nope, it still doesn't work well, you are still touching screen with your face slightly and with some displays, it breaks touches, some cameras have possibility to select in what area touch works, but neither that worked for me, I just can't use that while watching to finder, it's so unnatural and complicated, so one shot, one point forever. 😀

The inference here is that you should be shooting with Canon!

Thank you was looking for this

@@jizzythefroggy1108 Doesn't matter which system you use. I've made some photos with my smartphone that rival cameras of all brands. I'm a Nikon shooter, but I've also made some photos with Sony and Canon, and the results are nearly identical(Canon is slightly warmer than Nikon, and Sony is somewhere in between - exception for Nikon D3X, that beast has warmer tones).

Lol same

It's an expensive hobby for sure. Everyone I know goes on vacation 2 or 3 times a year. My money goes into this.

It's the r mount lens not an ef mount lens ef mount are cheaper but you'll need and adapter

@@WHITELIONNYC man of culture

@@WHITELIONNYC Without vacation there no good photos imo :) You gotta find a good mix between both imo, I couldnt stay home a whole year

Every video is deep and so informational! Love them

Yes it’s super useful

I agree, but I liked it more when Parker used to be the only one who hosted the video. (2-3 years ago)

I usually end up with dark photos with anything faster than 1/80 ... Iso usually 400.. what's the issue? Even if use widest aperture available.. (4.6)

@@pappoochacha Your ISO is the issue. Lower ISO = darker images.

@@pappoochacha 1/80 is kinda slow, so if you're using lens with maximum apperture of f/4.6, than increase ISO, 1000-3200 ISO won't hurt the image much. Having (VR, VC, OS, IS - stabilization technology) on your lens or in-body also helps a lot.

Rather late to reply, but anyway. What you should might of applied to film but it doesn't apply to digital, where faster shutter speeds are needed to stop movement in the scene and camera shake. Since nobody will probably read this, I won't speculate on the reasons for that. And I don't know the reasons. If you're hand-holding the camera, try to use 1/400 or faster. 1/250 is okay for steady hands.

Why even would you, if everything what every photographer needs is in internet, especially these days on YT for free. If someone is too lazy to look for it, then he she will never be photographer even after 10 courses just waste of money.

@@kristofeight9668 looks to me that you never even tried looking for courses, everything with actual knowledge has a price tag on it. I have more than 100 GBs of free courses in addition to tens of youtube channels, they all give you the crumbs never the real deal.

"Never stop adventuring" "Embrace your inner child" "Stay fearless & stay curious" "Stay positive. Stay wild" “I don’t ask u anything, just if u want, give my GoProvids a chance and you’ll see...”

Agreed

Haha that’s what I tell my clients. They usually laugh and then lighten up.

yup !

All of this does not matter ultimately. There is a picture that sold for millions of a 99 cent store.

I think sometimes it's best to tell your subjects to live out their day as usual while you silently shoot from the sides. Basically as authentic as we can get.

I know right? The idea of the video is to, well, focus in the subject. Yeah.. But great tips! Thank you guys.

Lol

The start of most self owned businesses cost $$$. Name some that don't.

I bought my first L lens and got the "attitude" from my wife for days. This video got me off the hook as it proved to her that I bought a very modest "Entry Level" L lens.....

So get a cheaper lens and use it to make money. I started years ago with an original Canon Digital Rebel and a $500 18-200 pro-master lens. I shot weddings and portraits and made money.

i thought it was my monitor lol

@@ChristianRB It was editor's mistake.

Its a arte style of photography. Mostly seen at nature. Creates kind of an other world photos. As science fiction movie scenarios.

You're one of those people that over-edit pictures lol

@@Henry_44 or maybe u are naive enough to understand different art styles

@@benjohncam even parker said that's over-edit lol, do whatever you want,most people gonna call that over-edit anyway
