Mark Galer is not the master :D

4 years into Sony camera ownership, never watched/read a Mark Galer video/tutorial. I have one sitting in my "watch later" playlist, but it will probably never get watched either LOL

Admittedly, his MotoGp shots for his A7RV review are absolutely beautiful!

I passed out and pissed myself when I was blind drunk once. Doesn't mean I wear a nappy every time I have a drink now though...

I think that will go right over the head of most on here mate

I think pretty much anything that isn't literal does...

No need to apologize for your beliefs, we can't fix stupid.

Or my belief in myself not being clumsy...

He’s a great start if you’re new to Sony settings. I’ve kept some things just as he has suggested, PAL for instance, and I’ve also purchased just about every Sony Prime available, so he is an effective employee!

I'm with you Gaz. Galer's program and mindset have served me well. I'm still pretty new to photography at this level and his teachings have been very valuable.

Ok last word from me on this, this was never really about Mr Galer or weather is videos, shots, setups, etc were good, bad or anything else, it was about the constant reference to him on so many threads. And as mentioned many times in this thread it was a bit of tongue in cheek banter, I have no doubt if learning by practice is not your route, and from many of the replies that is the case . Then you have to realise that others see things differently and I should point out that other (Sony Ambassadors are available) Thankyou members

Just for laughs/fun (Maybe )
I have created a poll. Should all references to Mark Galer be banned?
Personally, I think yes, He is a paid Sony employee, and to be honest, I don't think his settings are the best or even the best guide. The best settings are what you get results with from learning the camera and techniques, and the best way to do that is to start from scratch and work it out. What works for one, does not work for another and you can end up down a rabbit hole, but as it seems there are several people who seem to worship him I created the poll to gauge opinion, and to have a laugh.

Oooh - provocative!
