Your work is beyond words, a still image caught in a fraction of a second that says so much!

Great video again. I wish I knew what MPS was before I started shooting. I’m still an amateur, but I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you Tin Man Lee, you’re the best 👍🏽

What a delightful video.

Thank you for such a thought provoking video, Tinman! It helps me to look beyond technical excellence. Really appreciate it!

Hah you nailed it this should be mandatory watching for people who enter contests. I entered some good stuff over the years into the WPY and took 22 to actually get a winner, and will I do it again? I have no idea but I know that it takes an image that hasn't been seen before to do it, and if you can make that image and do it with technical excellence you'll be able to catch the judges eye in that 1/10th of a second you have to do so. Well done again buddy.

Brilliant! Has made a huge defence to how I now view and take my photos. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thank you, this is a good video - but I feel that explaining the 'puzzle' element in photography is less clear than the other two...
