Thanks, Faris 🙏🙏

Thanks, Greg. Just do it 😉. At least it will feel great to get back into landscape again and appreciate it even more 😁

Thank youuu 🤗. So true! Always doing the same will only make you better doing the same 😁.

Thank you so much. So great to hear that 🙏🤗🙏

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback 🤗🤗🤗

Great to hear that. Personally I’m constantly challenging myself. That keeps it fun and makes things that once seemed difficult a piece of cake. 😉

Thanks, Alain. Very much appreciated. I try to improve with every video, that keeps the fun for me too 😁.

Thanks, Yanni 🤗

Wa do, Mrs President 😉

Glad you like it, Naga!

Thank you, Hari! Much appreciated 🙏

Thank you 🙏🙏. After recording this video, I actually thought more about the importance of muscle memory. I‘m working on some ideas in this regard.

Thank you, Ravi. Great to hear that 🙏🙏

Thanks a lot, Jens!

Legend! 🤗 Thanks for your support 😉

🤗🤗🤗

Thanks, Nabi. Yes, I did. I wear this t-shirt for the videos only, so I felt it would be worth it 🤣.

@@wolfamri great idea! I need to try it. 🙂🤩

Make the hole very small, it will get bigger automatically 😉

🤣 too funny. My wife would probably say I need a hearing aid, but I use it as an ear prompter. I long tried all different sorts of things including telepromters, learning by heart, improvising,... I really try to get straight to the point with my videos and don't want to talk around the topic. So I prepare my text very well to keep the videos as short and concise as possible 😉

@@wolfamri Wow. I've never heard of such thing. Do you mean you repeat after what's being fed into the earpiece?? O_o

Exactly. I got the idea when I was first out in the snow and tried to use the teleprompter in bright sunlight at a distance of around 5m - totally useless, so I tried to think about what could be another option. After a week or so with searching for brighter monitors for the teleprompter, I got the idea that I could use earphones for that and started googling. It seems some actors use it - well, not those with my haircut obviously 🤣. It speeds up my workflow on location (where it is pretty limited), but slows me down a lot during preparation. But it's worth it IMO, because it is super convenient and quick to use and doesn't require much either. I was searching for skin colored versions, but I so far I haven't been successful.

@@wolfamri Unbelievable. I'm quite experienced in working with sound and video, but it is really hard to imagine how is it to listen and speak at the same time 😯 Although I have a slight idea as I am a translator by education, so I did immediate translation few times. I admire your work anyway, all the way! Maybe one day you'll show us your BTS, because it is really interesting how you do it with chroma key, in-ear prompting and stuff!

Thanks a lot, Paul. That would mean I would have to clean up the basement, which is one of the least enjoyable things I can think of 🤣. I'm really messy and still have all the props from the previous 5 videos laying around. But once I have to for whatever reason, I'll keep that in mind 😉.

I hope I didn't word it in a way so that people think I want them to risk anything. I only meant get out of your comfort zone in a photographic way. The skiing example was just meant as an analogy.

@@wolfamri I know what you meant I was just teasing. Thanks for being a great teacher your efforts have helped improve my work.

You never know in the world wide web 🤣. Thanks for the clarification 😉

🤣 maybe choose a different brand of potato chips as a starter?

@@wolfamri naaaaaaah too big of a change 😂

🤣

Awww, thanks 🙏🙏

Hi Ian. Thank you very much for your nice words and feedback 🙏. Of course I understand, but maybe let me give you a few insights why I do this. RU-vid classes are free and despite regularly getting requests to put my videos on paid platforms I want to keep them free. On the other hand the work on a single video takes me at least 3-4 days. Some up to two weeks. I enjoy doing them though, more than I enjoy most photography jobs. But in the longrun it wouldn’t be sustainable to not get some money back from the work I put in. So I need to try everything to please youtube and get further up in the search ranking. Very important in this regard are subscription, likes and comments. People are usually either really lazy in this regard or they forget. I‘m guilty of that too and I found myself surprised when I got a reminder on other videos that I forgot to like the ones I appreciated. But these reminders are often either way too long and boring, or easily overlooked. So I tried to come up with a way that is different. Luckily I got really good feedback on that and people found it funny (which was my initial hipe). Believe it or not, the statistics for these videos are also better than for those with a subtler approach. Regarding 2:50 it’s basically the same. Particularly we small youtubers have an hourly rate that is way beyond that of a taxi driver and educational videos will never be as popular as vlogs, etc that are more entertaining. I could write a few more paragraphs, but long story short: I’m afraid I need to make these kind of attention seekers to not spend more money for the videos than I get. I understand that they can be annoying and they are not for everyone but on the other hand they are short and don’t take away from the content. Again: thanks a lot for your time and feedback. I really hope for your understanding 😬😉.

@@wolfamri of course. I hope I didn’t come across as grumpy. I definitely find your videos worthwhile, so I’ll be sticking around-I just wanted to let you know. :) Thanks for the reply!

Not at all, Ian. Your entry was as good as it could get 😉. I appreciate any feedback. It can only help me improve 🙏.

😉

🤣 I'll go searching now 😉

Not sure I understand 🤔

@@wolfamri just joking man...you said you dont lose anything with photography...i discovered your channel the last days and i became a fan quick. your videos are too informative and nice to watch..

@@Raft69 Thanks so much. Sometimes I have difficulties understanding English sayings, that's why I asked. 😆
