YouTube Inspirations

[PeterDClark]

Evening all,
Like some of you I'm sure I follow a few people i learn and laugh from online. Some are dead serious and take great care and pride in illustrating their thought process and post processing, and some, well, are a laugh and yet I still tend to learn with the laughs. Here's a few links in case you're sat at home like me "working" due to Covid and in need of relief for a few minutes of sanity:

...note, I should add Mark Galer here too for others as his videos were among the first I stumbled across when switching to Sony Kit.
For me though, his voice reminds me of an asleep-but-doesn't-know-it-uni-professor Very insightful setups and high level overviews here though. Good for Sony Newbies like me

[Drewid]

Lots of food for thought with this lot. I mostly look through the reviews but perhaps I should expand my education.

 

[PeterDClark]

Thanks for adding to the list Timothy. Some there I knew of and some new to consider so thanks!
Drewid, YouTube’s great for gear reviews and tech spec comparisons etc. I admit this is where I started when shopping for the switch to Sony...then I devoured everything and anything I could.
The suggestions above are just that, an expansion of gear guides that show locations, tips and tricks and the gear in real world scenarios ...in some cases hilarity along for the ride.

Cheers

Great info here thanks.
I agree with this one - I have learned so much from watching his videos. (usually in bed). Then forgetting everything I saw when actually picking the camera up in the morning.

Yes, Mark Galer taught at RMIT in Melbourne.
He used to say everything twice so you could take notes.

I am btw opposed to settings recipes. Sooner or later you have to understand the why of settings so as to analyse your shots. You save time with sooner.
