I thought it might be fun and informative to share a few photos that I took in South Bank, Brisbane. The intention was to take some night photos, but as you will see in the video I came away with a bunch of bonus shots too - which was your favourite image?

It is NO WONDER why you have SO MANY subscribers (now including me) - your presentations are very clear, no nonsense, no unnecessary/loud/distracting music, very well scripted, with all props readily at hand! ALL creators of tutorials should follow your lead.
I just want to be able to photograph the edges of kinives as they go through the stages of gthe sharpening process, and you've presented a clear, simple, inexpensive way to do that, with my camera's cousin.
THANK YOU!

PS - did you know that Canon now charges for customer service assistance? BOO!!!

[oscargonzalez]

What a clear and comprehensible explanation!!! It’s obvious all the effort and care you put on such detailed tutorials!!! Congrats!!!

Just bought my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.
Paired with my T7
This lens is really amazing.
Background blur is phenomenal. Sharpness is amazing.

Very helpful thank you! I like that you showed how to set the camera too! I’m interested in outdoor macro and bugs if you could do a video on that 😀!

Hi Paul, I loved this...thank you! 🙏🏻 Also cool to see how you mounted the flower. 🙌🏻
It would be awesome if you could make a video where you take it outside. Greets from Sweden ☀️❄

You never fail to amaze me with your creativity, ingenuity and years of experience passed on so easily. Thanks again for a brilliant clip.

Thank you for helping this total noob amateur! Another great video and excellent tutorial! I appreciate your dedication in helping the begginer photographer. You have great teaching skills. I learn a lot and its very easy to follow along.

Absolutely a great macro tutorial. Well explained, with great examples. Thanks so much for this!

[LaurensHoengenaert]

Another great video, Paul. Thank you for the clear explanations. You really manage to trigger people to go out and try new things.
Would love to see a follow-up video on taking macro shots outdoors as I imagine wind can be a disturbing factor.

Your tutorials are excellent because you keep the information you are sharing simple and to the point. I love that you often use entry level equipment, creating sharp and dynamic photos. Every time I start to think about upgrading my camera I will come up with a crisp, sharp photo that takes me by surprise. It is then that I realize that I need to focus on how I created such a shot and understand fully the limitations and merits of the equipment I own. Looking forward to your next vlog. God bless.

[notacidnoralkaline]

your videos are helping me so much as I foray into photography, you explain everything so clearly and well! Thank you so much fo0r your videos!

[juliabyczynski]

Thoroughly enjoyed this very informative tutorial. I've had extension tubes for over a year but have struggled with focus. I have Nikon D3500 and I'm looking forward to putting your tips into practice. Thank you for continually providing us with informative and easy to understand content 👍🏻

[DB-zhti]

I would love to see some videos on macro photography. There are others out there but you have a way of explaining your subject so it is easily understood.

I got the Canon Rebel T7 a few days ago for Christmas, and I can’t wait to start taking pictures and building up a portfolio. This is a hobby I’ve always wanted and had a camera back in 2018 for a while! Your videos are so informative and I’ve learned so much within just 3 days 😊

[dennisnicholds]

Great video Paul. This is what I like about all your videos. Set out nice and simple and you show us step by step how to follow you in creating great shots. It's great to watch and learn from someone who likes to share his talent to both the experienced and novice (me).

[MrsWhite]

After watching this video I purchased the recommended macro tubes for my canon rebel t7 and I love them and have been playing around with them and getting some good results!! I’m new to photography and find all of your videos very helpful and informative!!

[joellendesautels]

Very good! I am using this for my high school students! Thank you!
