Great advice. Going to practice this.
Another winning video. Most appreciated.
Great as always
Why f/11?
Enjoyed your humor in this one 🙂
Love your videos Pye. I always learn something.
Thanks Pye. Great tips as always. I'd love to see your take on doing a sunset/sunrise portrait on a beach using budget gear. Or any strongly backlit portrait but keeping the sky exposed.
I lol'd when you said I can't stand up lol. That was me one time at an event photo shoot and I had to wait and slightly reposition and did multiple attempts to try and get up so that I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of hundreds of people. Trying to "play it off" like nothing is happening here lol
What was the reason for the rope? Fire season or some type of ecology issue? I love this style myself.
Another awesome work..keep it up👍👍
Wow! Nice work, Pye. 'Never would've expected to get that much depth-of-field at f11 with a 28mm focal length. BTW, 'love the magic of time-shift video that enables green grass in June in Orange County. 😉
Bwaahahaha 😂 the empty camera battery! Also great info as always, but the empty battery is classic ♥️
Pye is doing great. He’s the best photography educator on YouTube. 🙏
Great video. Can you share the photo location?
Excellent video would lighting the foreground be to much of a distraction?
Would like to see your take on preparing for and shooting thru blue "hour". Morning or night. Specifically how you get settings dialed in advance of shooting and why you made those choices.
P.s. yes, love your videos. Very instructional. Thank you.
Adoramatv offers one one top class photography lessons on YouTube I've learned a lot from this channel specially with Pye which s a great teacher! He encourages us to use what we got on our hands mo than buyin expensive gear
Great tips. I would have placed the flash in front of them and hidden behind the cactus. Just completely light them up. Thoughts anyone?
This Pye guy has potential. You should consider keeping him around on the channel. 🙂
good vid!
Thanks for watching! Comment below what you'd like to learn next!
