I'm glad you said this about light meters! When I first started photography, it didnt make sense to me that people still used them. I never bothered and knew to go by eye

After a nearly 40 year career and now it鈥檚 a good day to get out of bed and make it downstaires. You sir are one of the few photographers on the web, that I can say are a true professional photographer. You sound like my old boss. Training me as a commercial advertising photographer. I went blind driving home from a four day job working with clients and mps. The great NHS saved my sight but I have an illness Myasthenia Gravis my immune system attacks my nerve endings from my brain, to all my muscles lungs eyes voice. It leaves you weak. I so much miss the life of a photographer. My wife put me on to utube thinking it was a way to stay in touch with photography. Unfortunately not everyone is as professional as you. Keep up the good work. You proved that knowledge is more important than the latest gear. Like you I was taught to make and improvise and only buy what would pay its way in the business. Sorry for the rant. Lockdown means I don鈥檛 even get to visit the hospital for a day out.

A refreshing change of a video. Try things out, see what happens and you'll find your own creative style instead of listing off all the settings. Photography is an art and every artist has their own style. Get a model, family member or whatever. No pressure. It's only a failure when you give up. Everything before is just learning

Your videos are the best on YouTube. I am a retired photojournalist and teacher. Out of all the videos about photography on the internet yours are the most informative and educational.

I came back here to say this<br><br>Back in 2011, the 19yo me started to like photography. Didnt have any camera, but i knew someday i would. And do you know, karl? I spent my times watching videos about photography. And one of the most helpful channel is yours. I watched all of them. My fav one is when you're doing street portrait in Guernsey. 10 years later, today, your channel still has the best quality of contents and clear explanations. It's still the most helpful like how i found it for the first time. And am really happy that you're looking healthy.<br><br>Thanks so much karl

"need to fail to learn" yep totally agree with that, even to the point of deliberately failing to see what the result is, that way if your results turn out wrong you have a better knowledge of why that happened because you already did it in fail testing.
