Mark, your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Not only is the info great, but very practical and presented in an easy to follow format. Plus I like that you jump right into things instead of having some obnoxious intro music and animation sequence. I also appreciate the overall aesthetic of your work space, information pacing, tone, lighting, etc. Just an overall good experience with someone who is actually relatable. Keep up the good work

Another spot on video! The hardest part of landscape photography for me is finding good light. It's so hard when you are on vacation with the family doing the site seeing thing during the harsh daylight and coming away with any keepers. I often go out alone early or late for that very reason but it's always a crap shoot when you are at a famous landmark hoping for that killer morning or evening light and often turns out to be boring and gray. Sometimes I feel my trip was kind of a waste if I don't come home with some shots I feel I could hang on the wall. Then again, I consider it fun bonding time with the family so it's a win win either way you look at it...

Some valuable tips delivered with precision and clarity, as always. That said I've found that attempting to stabilize a tripod mounted camera by hanging things from a tripod hook usually makes things worse, not better. Backpacks, in particular, will swing around in the wind with resultant vibration. My solution is to carry a length of shock cord with I attach to a solid object (heavy rock, tree root, etc) on the ground and then loop over the tripod hook under tension using a lanyard knot. Works like a charm as long as the wind is not really whistling.

Another tip for aging eyes is to use a magnifying loupe in addition to the max magnification your cameras manual focusing aids can provide. I use this extensively for astro-landscapes to get pin-point focus on the stars.

Great video Mark. It’s awesome to see the growth on your channel. You definitely deserve it! One thing I would like to add, is back-button focusing, in my opinion is the best of both worlds. You can shoot in either AF-S or AF-C. No need to switch modes. It just depends on if you hold down the Af-on button or just press once to lock focus. Also ALWAYS check after you shoot. Zoom in and make sure you have a sharp image. I manual focus a lot and even with focus peaking you can adjust this focus a little bit in either direction and it will still show that it’s sharp in red. Thanks again for a great video buddy!

About the camera strap flapping I want to leave a tip. I am not a fan of strap removal: usually I mix handheld and tripod shooting and I want my camera strap for carrying the camera. What I do to reduce strap flapping is to tie it to the tripod legs or below the ball head with velcro bands, I leave these on the tripod legs for transportation. I used rubber bands first, but velcro gives me more flexibility and lasts longer.

I have become a great fan of focus stacking lately. It never fails and frankly is a FUN process, especially with my macro's. Also the use of a grid viewfinder helps with the 1/3 into the image focus. I rely on it cuz I have a bad habit of going too far into the image....anyway GREAT video Mark! Maui No Ka Oi!

Good stuff. Regarding depth of field, older manual focus lenses had depth of field scales which made focusing far easier. Since autofocus lenses don't rotate much, a depth of field scale would be very tiny. I wish cameras had built-in depth of field readouts. . . Regarding ISO: Though higher ISOs degrade image, setting lenses wide open is worse. Seems better to set f-stop and shutter speed, then adjust ISO (though this is pretty awkward on most cameras). A photo set at ISO 400 at f11 is far sharper than at ISO 100 at f4, especially with slow zoom lenses--if depth of field is not an issue. It's a three-way compromise.
