The issue about people watching videos on RUclips is that they care more about production and not so much about the content. For me you would be on your living room filming on your smartphone and with only natural light and it would be fine by me. It’s all about the content and that never fails to deliver. Thank you for your effort and sharing and enthusiasm on doing so. Cheers and have a great new year.
One thing about social media is like moths to a flame it attracts whiners, complainers and those who know more than the rest of us- never let those folks get you down.
You are a photographer, and we are fortunate that you are willing to share your journey with us. Thank you. The videos that you create are terrific. Don't let negativity have any more power than it deserves...none.
You are a great natural communicator . That is why people enjoy your channel. You are easy to listen to and understand. Your content is spot on so don't listen to the naysayers. Remain steadfast in your convictions. A big THANK YOU for your work and presenting it to us.
Mark, 1. You are a photographer and your results are great. 2. You are a fantastic educator and motivator. 3. Your audio-video quality is great and requires no modifications. 4. One video a week is more than sufficient. Heck, your videos are much more educational than most photo RUclipsrs. I can't believe you can produce one per week. I can't believe folks are asking for more, especially as the are free to the consumer. THANK YOU for everything you do. Please know that you are hugely appreciated.
Thomas Heaton and several other photographers have talked about that 1% that feel compelled to leave these negative comments and how much they let that small percentage of morons bother them to the point where they felt the need to create a video just like this. I've done landscape and wildlife photography since the 80's and I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos! You've got the right mindset. Do what you enjoy and not what others think you should be doing. Keep up the great work! Whether you produce 5 videos or 200 videos in 2024, I will look forward to every one of them. I think I speak on behalf of most photographers when I say that we are our own worst critics. Whether you realize if or not, you ARE as good if not better than some of those guys you mentioned in your video. Don't let these trolls get to you. Just do you brother!
I was going to post a reply to Mark's video, but it would be a copy of this one. Mark's videos are indeed relaxing and informative and they do not need to be moren than that.
I totally agree. Mark has been doing a great job and he is indeed a talented photographer and an informative teacher of photography. Please keep doing what you do. Thank you
People who are jealous just have to complain about others who are way better than they will ever be, in a million years. You're doing absolutely amazing work. Thank you.
Mark - you actually have a gift for being able to explain complex concepts and workflow in a manner that is easy to understand and provides great value. You are probably my go to person for LrC post processing techniques, ideas and inspiration :) As for some of the negative comments - ignore them! Your audio has always been fine; you should only put your time into those things that you truly enjoy and love; and stay true to your photographic priorities. After all, it's your life not ours :) Here's wishing you a Happy New Year and a fantastic 2024!
You're a class act, Mark. Don't change your style. Your calm demeanor lends itself well to your instructional videos and I have personally learned quite a lot, especially Lightroom. You teach in much the same manner as I have in my career and people so far have responded positively. Don't give in to trolls! Great work, Mark!!
I agree with a previous follower...you ARE A CLASS ACT! Ive have subscribed to many photographers' videos and every single one you just mentooned and I deep-sixed them all and whittled down to one. You!
If it's been on your mind, it's good to address things. I appreciate the transparency. Your channel is calming, respectful and informative. You've shared many useful tips. Photography has to be for each of us, we can't do it to please others. You do you. We like you. If someone doesn't like your style, they can move on to another channel.
Mark, you do you! You are an incredible photographer and that’s one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel so long ago. I enjoy your step by step photo editing tutorials. They are some of the best I’ve seen. So you just keep on truckin’ and forget all the nay sayers. Love the channel just the way it is and you are a great inspiration. And as far as the audio is concerned I have no idea what those num-nuts could be talking about. Please keep up the good work. Happy New Year.
Mark, I've been an amateur photographer for over 50 years, and I since I found your channel a couple years ago I think I've watched pretty much every video you've posted. Why? Because no matter what topic you discuss any given week, I always learn something new from you or gain a new perspective about something. Your "folksy" style is very enjoyable, much like sitting across a table from you and having a good chat and a beer would be. Pay no mind to the critics! They are not worth listening to, and you have a huge audience of people who thoroughly enjoy your videos, your style, and your personality, and who appreciate the ongoing effort you make to pass along your knowledge and experience to us. As you said, you operate the channel because you enjoy doing it. And you are good at it! Keep up the great work in 2024, and Happy New Year.
Working up to a point....Hi Mark, I have been a photographer since I was12. However, I have also had 43 years as a secondary school teacher - mostly psychology. Even now, in retirement, I still teach Psych 101 at my local community college here in Farmington, CT. In my life, I can now look back and say that the most important character trait in a person's personality, as well as his or her interactions with fellow human beings is....sincerity. Getting to the point, you and Chris Lee (Pal2Tech) are two of the most sincere guys on the internet. The two of you are indeed, my "Fuji peeps." A greater compliment....I cannot think of. Most RUclips photogs online are "okay," and there are a fair number who just like to hear (and watch) themselves talk. But you and Chris are not full of yourselves - and this is not to mention the knowledge the two of you bring forth. Statement repeated, the two of you are as sincere as it gets - and I thank the two of you (big-time) for being yourselves. And as far as the complainants are concerned, I sincerely believe that these folks, in their pettiness, have far too much time on their hands. Perhaps these folks need to buy a dog and take it for long walks. Toward that point, I've done the math. You have 269,000 subscribers. So when 3% (my own estimation) see fit to bellyache or whine, or moan, or groan, or whatever the word is....that means there's a mathematical potential for over 8000 whiners to be "called to action." That's a lot of (numerical) potential to wreck your day, your week, or month. And so I congratulate you on keeping on....keeping on. As for me, I could not do it as I am hurt very easily. In fact, I have completely given up doing weddings. There are far too many bride-zillas out there. Most brides, both good and bad, are filled with anxiety. And worse, they project that anxiety onto everyone around them, e.g., their families, their vendors, etc. I mean....I could photograph 51 weddings and the newly married couple are as pleased as they can be. But there's that one couple who are dissatisfied with my all-out efforts......and I am devastated by it. It takes me months and months to get over it. That is, if I ever do. So Mark, keep on...keeping on. You are Chris Lee are the best. Sincerely, Terrence Marselle Bristol, Connecticut
Hello Mark, It is a pleasure watching & learning from your videos each week. My personal feeling towards your topic in this video is you are not always going to please everyone. So, let the negative remarks from others go & continue to share your photo experiences with the people that really appreciate your skills & teachings. I have learned so many photography techniques since joining your channel & I thank you for that. I enjoy your delivery method of explaing specific topics with your easy to understand style that I learn something in every video.Looking forward to learning more from your videos in the coming year. Thank you, Tom
You’re the type of photographer and educator that I prefer. You speak calm and clear. You don’t go off on tangents. You get to the point clearly with quality demos and do so in a reasonable amount of time. Your videos have been very helpful and I truly appreciate all you’re willing to share.
I usually never comment on videos but here it goes: I follow your channel because you are a photographer, and I always learn something here that I can apply. And that's the point. Don't need to see amazing (or fake) sets and the sound is excellent too. Please keep doing what you're doing! Whoever doesn't like it can take a hike and watch other videos, there is enough out there for sure
I came across your channel a few months ago now, and what I have liked is the way you come across as just a normal guy who loves photography. I am retired and spending more time taking photographs, and your channel has been a big help at making me look at my compositions differently, to be more aware of the qualities of light, and to get sharper focus among other things. You keep doing the videos how you like, and know that you are helping some of us on our photographic journey.
Mark, people who criticize you are simply jealous and would like to live your life. Ignore them. I love your set, your photography, and your teaching style. Keep it up. You would not have close to 300K subscribers if you weren’t good at what you do
100% agreed! Those people are serial critics and are, (probably), the equivalent of the 70’s couch-potatoes. They would love to have a life with your sense of purpose.
Biggest thing to remember as a creater. Comments don't define what you do or what you enjoy to do. You're the one pressing the upload button. So it's your choice what you choose to share with the world. Whatever people have to say about it is their own issue. Not yours. You don't need to explain what you love to do. Just keep doing more of it. That's why hundreds of thousands of people enjoy what you do also. Negative and Irrelevant comments are only good for adding to the algorithm. That's all they're accomplishing. Which is ironic that when these people think that they're hurting a channel they're really just adding to the channels support by commenting. So, the joke is really on them.
Mark, you are by far the best teacher on RUclips. Your videos are informative and entertaining at the same time. I've sometimes wondered why you don't do more on location work but in the end it's your weekly tutorial videos that are the best. When you mentioned the only good photo you've gotten while filming on location I immediately thought of that very image. Don't listen to those people that always denigrate your work. They are usually miserable people who only derive any pleasure by trying to make someone else miserable. I've been following you for several years now and you always deliver quality content. By the way, your "set" and audio look and sound good to me. Thanks for all you do and have a great 2024.
I have met Mark a few times. Beyond being a talented photographer, he’s also a genuinely good guy. Keyboard warriors casting criticism from the shadows are likely just the opposite- and they know it, so there is nothing left for them to do but drain others with their negativity. They are like vampires. It’s a shame.
I have really enjoyed your channel for a very long time. I’ve never found anything wrong with your audio or video quality. As far as I’m concerned it’s been excellent if you’ve been working on a shoestring budget and done this well. it just goes to show what somebody can do when they want to help people. I got my first Fuji camera last week because of you. thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Just wanted to say: thank you for all your videos, they have a ''tone'' that appeals to me: friendly, nice pace and a feeling of beeing humble and not a ''besserwisser''. As a non native english speaking person, I find that you are easy to follow and understand. Keep on doing your thing in your own way. That is the best way. All the best from Sweden and from me. /Bo Hoffman.
Mark, I hear you loud and clear, your videos are very clear and I learn a lot from them. I think of you as a great photographer. You are also a great teacher. For those who don't like your channel, all they have to do is not watch it. It is a simple as that. Keep up the good work. I have learned a lot from you and please continue doing what you are doing.
Mark, don't get caught up in what the critics say. I have been watching your channel for several years and have learned a lot from you. I still feel like it's very worth my time to check in with you every week for a new tip or even a review of advice you have covered before. Thank you for sharing your skills with the rest of us!
The amount of relevant information you have distributed, especially relating to Lightroom, has been amazing. I enjoy your presentation style, your enthusiasm, and your ability to showcase "how to" ideas in a way that is easy to understand and usable! My photos have improved-editing and composition-and a lot of that is thanks to you and others taking the time (and risk) to introduce information the best way you can. You do not need to justify anything. Most likely the people adding negative comments are people who never took a risk in their lives. Wishing you the best!! Have great adventures and keep sharing what you learn!
I usually find that the people that complain the most are the people that have never done their own video. I think your videos are awesome and I have learned a ton from you. Thank You!
Thank you for following your passion, Mr Denney. I picked up a friend's camera simply to occupy my brain while dealing with a substance abuse issue 2years ago. I completely fell in love with capturing the beauty of the world. I found your videos while searching out info on just how to use the camera and then my whole world changed with the things you taught. You absolutely spoke on the things I was struggling with and a lot of things that I didn't know I was struggling with. From editing to settings, your videos pooped up right on time. Since then I've developed a passion for digital photography and videography. I saw this and felt compelled to comment. Thank you for everything. You are very much appreciated here.❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏 -PJ Mitchell/The Beauty Eye See
Hi Mark, don't change anything to your way to create videos ! There is always something to learn for me in their content and I really appreciate their format. I wish you and your family a happy photographic new year !
Mark, you’ve done it- you addressed the negative energy universe, wasted the time to speak to them, so now just move on and continue to project the positive energy that you give all of us and just keep moving forward to inspire all of us as you do, and do not give another second to the negative assholes! Rock on, brother!
As a retired biologist with a dream of telling landscape conservation stories through repeat photography, I need to tell you how grateful I am that you have chosen to share your incredible skills and knowledge with the rest of us. I've just scratched the surface in terms of understanding more about photography, but I'm learning so much from you. Your photos are stunning and your videos are so informative and easy to understand. I guess I have to wonder what the photos and videos of your (very few) critics look like! Anyhow, thank you for all you are doing and I hope to be following your channel for years to come as I navigate this retirement dream!
Hi Mark. It’s an unfortunate truth in our society that it’s so much easier to criticize and find fault than to praise and compliment. Please, please, please don’t pay any attention to those negative comments. I am the past version of yourself that you mentioned. I’ve learned most of what I know about technique, Lightroom, etc. from watching your videos. They’ve given me just enough confidence to take chances and stretch and grow in photography. Please don’t change anything you do. And please accept my thanks.
Don't change what you are doing - I have always admired your 'set'. Looks serenely functional and inviting. I enjoy your channel so much exactly b/c of your content and I'll be joining the Sedona event in Nov 2024!!! You are a natural teacher & communicator. I also like Henry Turner & Thomas Heaton style of presenting - all have niches and they serve a valuable purpose, just a yours do. Thank you. You are appreciated.
I agree with you completely: whether it's photography or cooking (my other passion), I do it for fun; once money is involved (or is the primary motivator), it becomes work, which adds stress and removes all of the fun! Thank you for all the inspiring videos you produce. I enjoy all of your videos and i don't think you should concern yourself with any negativity. Happy New Year and all the best for 2024. You do inspire me to get out there!
haven't subscribed very long, but I would say that out of all the YT photo videos I have used to help me with taking the photo and then editing the final product, yours have been the most helpful, especially with Lightroom. If I had a negative critique, it would be keeping up with your 'before-after' clicks, they seem quick and I have trouble telling the before from the after on slightly edited photos. Your presentation is not rushed, easy to understand, and it comes across as genuine helpful advice to help us obtain a better final result. 260K+ subscribers cant all be wrong. If you like doing it, keep doing it.
When I moved from film to digital cameras it reminded me of when my audio recordings went from analog gear to digital. Same basic skills needed to make the music or photos but huge learning curve for the digital way of doing it. My studio went full digital in 2001 and the workstaions are all Mac powered. Your Lightroom help has been very helpful and valuable to me and I'm thankful for your videos!
I rarely comment on youtube videos but I think I should let you know that I enjoy your videos, subscribe, and watch every week. I subscribe to several other photography channels also (guys you mentioned) and you are right there with all of them. You don't need to change a thing to keep me watching. Keep it up in 2024!
Hey, you do a great job. I am a "Photographer" I still enjoy watching your videos. Its called sharing for others who are looking to learn something they may not have thought about or for those who have no experience and are looking for content to learn photography. Your videos provide plenty to all. Your Lightroom tricks, walk-throughs, on location.... are all awesome. I agree with you, don't pay attention to the RUclips complainers. That is all they do it crap on everyone else.
Well said, Mark. With over a quarter of a million subscribers you are clearly appealing to a huge audience. I don’t think you’d miss the 1% if they walked! I really appreciate your relaxed style, and listening with AirPods the sound is fine! I’ve never noticed any problem with sound when watching you on our tv through the sound system either. Thanks for your great content and the fact that you are not trying to be someone other than yourself. Keep up the brilliant work and happy new year to you and your family.
Go for it, your earthiness is what appeals to me. Believe in yourself and enjoy your hobbies. We are lucky that you share your interests to the degree you do.
Dont change a single thing, please. I really enjoy all of your videos, help, and enthusiasm. Your "friendly style" isso much better than others who present a " Wee, Waaa, Wooo....It's all about ME" approach. Nope - i don't like those at all. Your easy style is what keeps me watchingbyour channel. Great Job !!
Mark, I’ve followed you for yonks and you are probably one of the main inspirations for me setting up my own channel. So thank you. I confess to laughing at the beach towels… I have exactly the same for my voice overs. Thank goodness for Mark Denny and beach towels I say… and possibly in equal measure. Have a cracking 2024 😊
FWIW, this is one of my favorite channels. I really appreciate what you do here and love the format/style of your videos. I have learned and grown so much in my photography thanks to the content you put out. Thank you!
As someone who has struggled to actually make content for years out of fear and self criticism, I found this video supportive and inspiring. Thank you!
Mark, I literally dusted off my old Nikon D90 once I discovered your videos. You're inspiring, likeable, easy-going and knowledgeable. The negative comments you get are a reflection of the people making them, NOT of you. Be yourself, we love you and your style. Much love from the Canadian Rockies xx
I appreciate your honest straightforward message to us about who you are and what you do and how you do it !. You can't save the world from Complaints!
Only just caught up with this latest video. You are one of the few photography channels that I subscribe to. I learn something every time. Keep doing what you are doing...over a quarter of a million subscribers. There is a Chinese proverb...If you worry what people think of you, you will become their prisoner. Or as we say in the U.K. "Don't let the buggers grind you down!" All the best for 2024.
the people who make those negative comments DO NOT have 22 million views as you have - you've taught me so much - please keep up the great work - and remember my mantra "those that matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter". Peace and have a great new year
The thing about trolls is, they just want the response to feel validated. People enjoy what you do, the content you create, and the images and instruction you provide. All the best in this new year. Hopefully we’ll cross paths in the WNC mountains one day this winter.
People who leave "unkind" comments are usually very insecure. Many photographers DON'T share their knowledge. You do, and those of us who watch very much appreciate the information you impart. Keep it up! If they don't like your style, they can find another photographer to learn from (or to criticize!). There are lots of great comments on here, so your core group (which is quite large, you know) likes you and your style enough to be faithful watchers/listeners/learners. There is always much to learn and few that share their knowledge so generously. Happy New Year!
Good for you! I have seen a lot of your videos and I've taken some of your courses, and I can't recall a single moment where I thought that it was in any way inferior. There are always going to be critics (1%). Please, keep making for me and the rest of the 99% that love them. And, by all means enjoy yourself. That's when you do your best work. That's what life should be about. By the way; Your videos are every bit as good as anyone on RUclips.
Very well put, Mark. We have but one life and we can choose how we spend it. You have chosen a life of creativity and sharing your passion for creativity with others via this channel, as well as leading and participating in workshops - kudos to you. Others, a minority, chose a path of negativity and derive pleasure of a sort by tearing down what others have built up. Fortunately, they are a minority, though they are pesky rascals and can be hard to ignore at times. I enjoy your videos - you are a gifted communicator. Keep up the good work.... Cheers, Alex
I've had cameras since I was 7yrs old and am now 70yrs and consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. There are many so called experts out there and I still enjoy my photography even though some of my shooting is rubbish don't let that 1% bother you. All the best for the New Year and Regards Bob
I think what and how you do your videos/photo shoots are exactly how I would love to be working. I very much enjoy you and think you do an amazing job. I can tell you love what you are doing and that is what everyone’s dream would be. Those people that criticize you are just sad and jealous people. I guess the question is if they think you are so bad at what you are doing, why are they watching. Bottom line. Keep doing what you are doing and do it how you enjoy it because you make it so easy to follow. Thank you again.
Mark I’ve been watching you since you started your channel. Your one of my favorite photographers! I certainly do appreciate all the help I’ve received from your wonderful videos. As for giving an explanation to that 1% please don’t there are 99% who love and appreciate the work that goes into these videos. I would care 0% about the complainers believe me they complain EVERYWHERE not just on utube. Can’t wait to see what you have for us in 2024. Keep up the great work.
You make very helpful videos that I enjoy watching. I have learned a lot from you about Lightroom and composition. Don’t let these idiots get you down. I think most people who complain on the internet have never done any of these things they complain about. Happy New Year.
Mark, keep up the good work. Don't worry about the gatekeepers that think they get to decide who/what is worthy of what title. I and so many others sincerely appreciate you and all you produce. Remember that some folks need to tear others down to build themselves up. They are just pathetic and not worth your time. Ignore them and continue to inspire the rest of us.
Don’t change a thing. Your channel is great just the way it is. Maybe the knockers need to set up and do better - i doubt they could. When I come in to check my subscribed channels for new videos, yours is the first I check every time. I learn so much from your tips and tuition. Love your work. Keep it up.
I’m always surprised that people feel the need to complain. This is free content and regardless of the mic sound or the fact that you only do one video a week, good for you. You’re authentic! I enjoy what you create. I was a podcaster for two years about 10 years ago and when I stopped enjoying it, I quit. Keep up doing what you enjoy and I’ll enjoy what you do. Even if it’s only once a week. Thanks Mark.
You're very, very good at what you do. I've been following you since you started. You've found a way to do what you love and others want to tear you down to make themselves feel better. Stay with what you're doing! People are strange.
Negative comments always surprise me. I am not sure why so many people need to try to make others feel bad so they can feel good. It is as if social media has given people a platform to express the frustration present in their personal lives. You have a great channel and always add value. Happy New Year and continued success.
You do an amazing job. I’m an audio and video professional and I’ve been following you for years. People complain because they’re insecure and unhappy.
Mark, your videos and the way you produce them are perfect. You are not only a phenomenal photographer, your teaching style I would dare say appeals to the majority who watch them. You have furthered my photography more than any others that I watch. Please, don't change anything. Those who troll you are only showing their jealousy and imaturity. Ignore them and keep on keeping on and be Blessed in 2024. Looking forward to what you bring us in the new year.
hi Mark, compliments for your format and way of telling us and making us wiser. I have learned a lot from your videos in recent years and you have inspired me. There will always be critics, but the most important thing is that it is your story, told the way you want to tell it and that you enjoy it and love it. And i like the way you do that. All the best for 2024.
Mark, please continue your path, I have truly enjoyed your journey thus far and I want to continue to see you sharing it. It’s unfortunate that you have to make a video such as this but I applaud you for making the effort for that squeaky 1%. Keep up the incredible work and please don’t stop sharing, you have many grateful and envious followers.
The photographer / youtuber debate and comments are exhausting on social media. It's easy to conflate them, but they're two really distinct skills, and both very challenging and rewarding areas to continually learn in. Thankfully for us you're good at both and have been consistently for years! Typically those that are loudest about this are only good at or are only learning one 😅
Happy 2024. I enjoy your videos. Just keep doing what works for you. If people don't like it, it's a free channel, they don't have to watch it if they don't like it.
I don't subscribe to many landscape photographers channels, but yours is my favorite to watch. The others I have subscribed to say one thing in the title and don't really talk about the subject. They just video the location and what they are seeing. I have pretty much stopped watching them, and I tune into yours all the time. You are doing a great job, and I am looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2024!
I have always enjoyed your videos just the way they are. Please don’t listen to these complaints. There are people who just do this: complain. And I don’t enjoy in location videos. Hardly ever I see a really good one. Thanks for all your videos. Happy New Year!!!!
Last time I looked, you had over 250,000 subscribers so you must be doing something right! Just keep doing what you’ve been doing. I’ve learned a bunch from you. Have a great new year…
I like your authenticity. Be true to yourself, do what you love, and you'll get viewers who want to watch. Constructive criticism can be helpful, but people who only tear others down aren't worth listen to. Thanks for your great videos, and all the best for 2024!
Dude, you have a LOT of backpacks/bags! I Ned to show my wife that portion of your video, just to justify the far fewer number that I have!!! Love it! I learn a lot but I also just get a lot of laughs! Very grateful for what you do. Don’t change a thing. Have a great 2024.
Your content speaks for itself over 250K subscribers is your affirmation of a job very well done. I have very much enjoyed your videos and learned a ton of information.
I appreciate what you choose to share on your channel. Thank you! I don’t understand why some people feel their negativity has to be shared. If they disagree or don’t like your content, don’t follow your channel.
Mad respect for you, man. You have been one of my go to learning channels for my photography and it’s largely due to the ease and style of the way you do what you do. On location videos look exhausting to me. Especially when you’re a one man show. How many times do you have to set up your camera, walk around, walk back to get it, set it up again, rinse and repeat. 😂 That has to take so much time away from what you really want to do - take photos. You kick ass man. Thank you for doing what you do and putting in the work to do it. Hope you had an amazing g holiday season and a happy new year!
You are a very relatable person… and the biggest reason I watch you every week! You don’t owe the negative nellies an explanation. Just keep doing what you’re doing! You do it well! Happy New Year!❤
I've recently found your content and it's great for the very reasons you state in your video, i.e., you have not gone for glam over content. The half dozen or so videos I have watched (a few times now) are on point, what more could anyone ask for, particularly since I'm getting the benefit of your experience at no cost to myself.
I totally understand you, Mark. We do what we love to. I learnt many things about photography from your channel. Let people ramble on what they want to, you know what you are doing.
Mark just keep doing what you are doing. I have learned a considerable amount from watching your channel for the past year. Sound issues, not on my PC. If the photo's you take give you enjoyment, and memories, that is all that matters.
🌟Thanks so much for all the support in 2023! Ya'll are the best!
You are Great! Happy New Year! from Poland :)
Just continue doing what makes you happy. I enjoy watching your videos as they come out. Ted Simard
The issue about people watching videos on RUclips is that they care more about production and not so much about the content. For me you would be on your living room filming on your smartphone and with only natural light and it would be fine by me. It’s all about the content and that never fails to deliver. Thank you for your effort and sharing and enthusiasm on doing so. Cheers and have a great new year.
One thing about social media is like moths to a flame it attracts whiners, complainers and those who know more than the rest of us- never let those folks get you down.
This is one of the best photography channels on RUclips. Sound and setup are excellent. Thanks again for all the help!
You are a photographer, and we are fortunate that you are willing to share your journey with us. Thank you. The videos that you create are terrific. Don't let negativity have any more power than it deserves...none.
You are a great natural communicator . That is why people enjoy your channel. You are easy to listen to and understand. Your content is spot on so don't listen to the naysayers. Remain steadfast in your convictions. A big THANK YOU for your work and presenting it to us.
Mark,
1. You are a photographer and your results are great.
2. You are a fantastic educator and motivator.
3. Your audio-video quality is great and requires no modifications.
4. One video a week is more than sufficient. Heck, your videos are much more educational than most photo RUclipsrs. I can't believe you can produce one per week. I can't believe folks are asking for more, especially as the are free to the consumer.
THANK YOU for everything you do. Please know that you are hugely appreciated.
Thomas Heaton and several other photographers have talked about that 1% that feel compelled to leave these negative comments and how much they let that small percentage of morons bother them to the point where they felt the need to create a video just like this. I've done landscape and wildlife photography since the 80's and I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos! You've got the right mindset. Do what you enjoy and not what others think you should be doing. Keep up the great work! Whether you produce 5 videos or 200 videos in 2024, I will look forward to every one of them. I think I speak on behalf of most photographers when I say that we are our own worst critics. Whether you realize if or not, you ARE as good if not better than some of those guys you mentioned in your video. Don't let these trolls get to you. Just do you brother!
I was going to post a reply to Mark's video, but it would be a copy of this one. Mark's videos are indeed relaxing and informative and they do not need to be moren than that.
Just keep doing what you do Mark, all the others you mentioned only do One video a week anyway and not always photography so ignore that 1%
I totally agree. Mark has been doing a great job and he is indeed a talented photographer and an informative teacher of photography. Please keep doing what you do. Thank you
People who are jealous just have to complain about others who are way better than they will ever be, in a million years. You're doing absolutely amazing work. Thank you.
Mark - you actually have a gift for being able to explain complex concepts and workflow in a manner that is easy to understand and provides great value. You are probably my go to person for LrC post processing techniques, ideas and inspiration :)
As for some of the negative comments - ignore them! Your audio has always been fine; you should only put your time into those things that you truly enjoy and love; and stay true to your photographic priorities. After all, it's your life not ours :)
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year and a fantastic 2024!
You're a class act, Mark. Don't change your style. Your calm demeanor lends itself well to your instructional videos and I have personally learned quite a lot, especially Lightroom. You teach in much the same manner as I have in my career and people so far have responded positively. Don't give in to trolls! Great work, Mark!!
I agree with a previous follower...you ARE A CLASS ACT! Ive have subscribed to many photographers' videos and every single one you just mentooned and I deep-sixed them all and whittled down to one. You!
Keep things just the way they are - You enjoy photography, youtubing is an extension of that. Happy New Year, Mark
If it's been on your mind, it's good to address things. I appreciate the transparency. Your channel is calming, respectful and informative. You've shared many useful tips. Photography has to be for each of us, we can't do it to please others. You do you. We like you. If someone doesn't like your style, they can move on to another channel.
Mark, you do you! You are an incredible photographer and that’s one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel so long ago. I enjoy your step by step photo editing tutorials. They are some of the best I’ve seen. So you just keep on truckin’ and forget all the nay sayers. Love the channel just the way it is and you are a great inspiration. And as far as the audio is concerned I have no idea what those num-nuts could be talking about. Please keep up the good work. Happy New Year.
Mark, I've been an amateur photographer for over 50 years, and I since I found your channel a couple years ago I think I've watched pretty much every video you've posted. Why? Because no matter what topic you discuss any given week, I always learn something new from you or gain a new perspective about something. Your "folksy" style is very enjoyable, much like sitting across a table from you and having a good chat and a beer would be. Pay no mind to the critics! They are not worth listening to, and you have a huge audience of people who thoroughly enjoy your videos, your style, and your personality, and who appreciate the ongoing effort you make to pass along your knowledge and experience to us. As you said, you operate the channel because you enjoy doing it. And you are good at it! Keep up the great work in 2024, and Happy New Year.
Working up to a point....Hi Mark, I have been a photographer since I was12. However, I have also had 43 years as a secondary school teacher - mostly psychology. Even now, in retirement, I still teach Psych 101 at my local community college here in Farmington, CT. In my life, I can now look back and say that the most important character trait in a person's personality, as well as his or her interactions with fellow human beings is....sincerity. Getting to the point, you and Chris Lee (Pal2Tech) are two of the most sincere guys on the internet. The two of you are indeed, my "Fuji peeps." A greater compliment....I cannot think of. Most RUclips photogs online are "okay," and there are a fair number who just like to hear (and watch) themselves talk. But you and Chris are not full of yourselves - and this is not to mention the knowledge the two of you bring forth. Statement repeated, the two of you are as sincere as it gets - and I thank the two of you (big-time) for being yourselves. And as far as the complainants are concerned, I sincerely believe that these folks, in their pettiness, have far too much time on their hands. Perhaps these folks need to buy a dog and take it for long walks. Toward that point, I've done the math. You have 269,000 subscribers. So when 3% (my own estimation) see fit to bellyache or whine, or moan, or groan, or whatever the word is....that means there's a mathematical potential for over 8000 whiners to be "called to action." That's a lot of (numerical) potential to wreck your day, your week, or month. And so I congratulate you on keeping on....keeping on. As for me, I could not do it as I am hurt very easily. In fact, I have completely given up doing weddings. There are far too many bride-zillas out there. Most brides, both good and bad, are filled with anxiety. And worse, they project that anxiety onto everyone around them, e.g., their families, their vendors, etc. I mean....I could photograph 51 weddings and the newly married couple are as pleased as they can be. But there's that one couple who are dissatisfied with my all-out efforts......and I am devastated by it. It takes me months and months to get over it. That is, if I ever do.
So Mark, keep on...keeping on. You are Chris Lee are the best.
Sincerely,
Terrence Marselle

Hello Mark, It is a pleasure watching & learning from your videos each week.
My personal feeling towards your topic in this video is you are not always going to please everyone. So, let the negative remarks from others go & continue to share your photo experiences with the people that really appreciate your skills & teachings.
I have learned so many photography techniques since joining your channel & I thank you for that. I enjoy your delivery method of explaing specific topics with your easy to understand style that I learn something in every video.Looking forward to learning more from your videos in the coming year. Thank you, Tom
Don't stop! Your channel is one of the few that I watch religiously...ignore the noise! Bravo!
You’re the type of photographer and educator that I prefer. You speak calm and clear. You don’t go off on tangents. You get to the point clearly with quality demos and do so in a reasonable amount of time. Your videos have been very helpful and I truly appreciate all you’re willing to share.
I usually never comment on videos but here it goes: I follow your channel because you are a photographer, and I always learn something here that I can apply. And that's the point. Don't need to see amazing (or fake) sets and the sound is excellent too. Please keep doing what you're doing! Whoever doesn't like it can take a hike and watch other videos, there is enough out there for sure
I came across your channel a few months ago now, and what I have liked is the way you come across as just a normal guy who loves photography. I am retired and spending more time taking photographs, and your channel has been a big help at making me look at my compositions differently, to be more aware of the qualities of light, and to get sharper focus among other things. You keep doing the videos how you like, and know that you are helping some of us on our photographic journey.
Mark, people who criticize you are simply jealous and would like to live your life. Ignore them. I love your set, your photography, and your teaching style. Keep it up. You would not have close to 300K subscribers if you weren’t good at what you do
100% agreed! Those people are serial critics and are, (probably), the equivalent of the 70’s couch-potatoes. They would love to have a life with your sense of purpose.
Biggest thing to remember as a creater. Comments don't define what you do or what you enjoy to do. You're the one pressing the upload button. So it's your choice what you choose to share with the world. Whatever people have to say about it is their own issue. Not yours. You don't need to explain what you love to do. Just keep doing more of it. That's why hundreds of thousands of people enjoy what you do also. Negative and Irrelevant comments are only good for adding to the algorithm. That's all they're accomplishing. Which is ironic that when these people think that they're hurting a channel they're really just adding to the channels support by commenting. So, the joke is really on them.
Mark, you are by far the best teacher on RUclips. Your videos are informative and entertaining at the same time. I've sometimes wondered why you don't do more on location work but in the end it's your weekly tutorial videos that are the best. When you mentioned the only good photo you've gotten while filming on location I immediately thought of that very image. Don't listen to those people that always denigrate your work. They are usually miserable people who only derive any pleasure by trying to make someone else miserable. I've been following you for several years now and you always deliver quality content. By the way, your "set" and audio look and sound good to me. Thanks for all you do and have a great 2024.
I have met Mark a few times. Beyond being a talented photographer, he’s also a genuinely good guy. Keyboard warriors casting criticism from the shadows are likely just the opposite- and they know it, so there is nothing left for them to do but drain others with their negativity. They are like vampires. It’s a shame.
I have really enjoyed your channel for a very long time. I’ve never found anything wrong with your audio or video quality. As far as I’m concerned it’s been excellent if you’ve been working on a shoestring budget and done this well. it just goes to show what somebody can do when they want to help people. I got my first Fuji camera last week because of you. thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Can't wait to hear it. EDIT. I've done crappy videos to entertain myself while I was out doing photography. Your audio sounds great to me.
Please don’t change a thing! I am learning so much from you… thank you for all that you do 💫
Just wanted to say: thank you for all your videos, they have a ''tone'' that appeals to me: friendly, nice pace and a feeling of beeing humble and not a ''besserwisser''. As a non native english speaking person, I find that you are easy to follow and understand. Keep on doing your thing in your own way. That is the best way. All the best from Sweden and from me. /Bo Hoffman.
Mark, I hear you loud and clear, your videos are very clear and I learn a lot from them. I think of you as a great photographer. You are also a great teacher. For those who don't like your channel, all they have to do is not watch it. It is a simple as that. Keep up the good work. I have learned a lot from you and please continue doing what you are doing.
Mark, don't get caught up in what the critics say. I have been watching your channel for several years and have learned a lot from you. I still feel like it's very worth my time to check in with you every week for a new tip or even a review of advice you have covered before. Thank you for sharing your skills with the rest of us!
The amount of relevant information you have distributed, especially relating to Lightroom, has been amazing. I enjoy your presentation style, your enthusiasm, and your ability to showcase "how to" ideas in a way that is easy to understand and usable! My photos have improved-editing and composition-and a lot of that is thanks to you and others taking the time (and risk) to introduce information the best way you can. You do not need to justify anything. Most likely the people adding negative comments are people who never took a risk in their lives. Wishing you the best!! Have great adventures and keep sharing what you learn!
I usually find that the people that complain the most are the people that have never done their own video. I think your videos are awesome and I have learned a ton from you. Thank You!
Thank you for following your passion, Mr Denney. I picked up a friend's camera simply to occupy my brain while dealing with a substance abuse issue 2years ago. I completely fell in love with capturing the beauty of the world. I found your videos while searching out info on just how to use the camera and then my whole world changed with the things you taught. You absolutely spoke on the things I was struggling with and a lot of things that I didn't know I was struggling with. From editing to settings, your videos pooped up right on time. Since then I've developed a passion for digital photography and videography. I saw this and felt compelled to comment. Thank you for everything. You are very much appreciated here.❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Mark, don't change anything to your way to create videos ! There is always something to learn for me in their content and I really appreciate their format. I wish you and your family a happy photographic new year !
Mark, you’ve done it- you addressed the negative energy universe, wasted the time to speak to them, so now just move on and continue to project the positive energy that you give all of us and just keep moving forward to inspire all of us as you do, and do not give another second to the negative assholes! Rock on, brother!
As a retired biologist with a dream of telling landscape conservation stories through repeat photography, I need to tell you how grateful I am that you have chosen to share your incredible skills and knowledge with the rest of us. I've just scratched the surface in terms of understanding more about photography, but I'm learning so much from you. Your photos are stunning and your videos are so informative and easy to understand. I guess I have to wonder what the photos and videos of your (very few) critics look like! Anyhow, thank you for all you are doing and I hope to be following your channel for years to come as I navigate this retirement dream!
Hi Mark. It’s an unfortunate truth in our society that it’s so much easier to criticize and find fault than to praise and compliment. Please, please, please don’t pay any attention to those negative comments. I am the past version of yourself that you mentioned. I’ve learned most of what I know about technique, Lightroom, etc. from watching your videos. They’ve given me just enough confidence to take chances and stretch and grow in photography. Please don’t change anything you do. And please accept my thanks.
Don't change what you are doing - I have always admired your 'set'. Looks serenely functional and inviting. I enjoy your channel so much exactly b/c of your content and I'll be joining the Sedona event in Nov 2024!!! You are a natural teacher & communicator. I also like Henry Turner & Thomas Heaton style of presenting - all have niches and they serve a valuable purpose, just a yours do. Thank you. You are appreciated.
Being a real human is rare and refreshing. It’s nice to know there’s still some out there. Even on RUclips
I agree with you completely: whether it's photography or cooking (my other passion), I do it for fun; once money is involved (or is the primary motivator), it becomes work, which adds stress and removes all of the fun! Thank you for all the inspiring videos you produce. I enjoy all of your videos and i don't think you should concern yourself with any negativity. Happy New Year and all the best for 2024. You do inspire me to get out there!
haven't subscribed very long, but I would say that out of all the YT photo videos I have used to help me with taking the photo and then editing the final product, yours have been the most helpful, especially with Lightroom. If I had a negative critique, it would be keeping up with your 'before-after' clicks, they seem quick and I have trouble telling the before from the after on slightly edited photos. Your presentation is not rushed, easy to understand, and it comes across as genuine helpful advice to help us obtain a better final result. 260K+ subscribers cant all be wrong. If you like doing it, keep doing it.
When I moved from film to digital cameras it reminded me of when my audio recordings went from analog gear to digital. Same basic skills needed to make the music or photos but huge learning curve for the digital way of doing it. My studio went full digital in 2001 and the workstaions are all Mac powered. Your Lightroom help has been very helpful and valuable to me and I'm thankful for your videos!
You owe no one any explanation for anything. I appreciate the simplicity of you videos. Without all the nonsense. You rock. Keep it up.
I usually dont leave comments but honestly your channel has helped me alot over the years just wanna thank you for what you do happy new year 🙏🏽
I rarely comment on youtube videos but I think I should let you know that I enjoy your videos, subscribe, and watch every week. I subscribe to several other photography channels also (guys you mentioned) and you are right there with all of them. You don't need to change a thing to keep me watching. Keep it up in 2024!
Hey, you do a great job. I am a "Photographer" I still enjoy watching your videos. Its called sharing for others who are looking to learn something they may not have thought about or for those who have no experience and are looking for content to learn photography. Your videos provide plenty to all. Your Lightroom tricks, walk-throughs, on location.... are all awesome. I agree with you, don't pay attention to the RUclips complainers. That is all they do it crap on everyone else.
The fact that you even have to make a video of this nature... You are so pleasant to listen to, so informative and just perfect. By golly!
Well said, Mark. With over a quarter of a million subscribers you are clearly appealing to a huge audience. I don’t think you’d miss the 1% if they walked! I really appreciate your relaxed style, and listening with AirPods the sound is fine! I’ve never noticed any problem with sound when watching you on our tv through the sound system either. Thanks for your great content and the fact that you are not trying to be someone other than yourself. Keep up the brilliant work and happy new year to you and your family.
Go for it, your earthiness is what appeals to me. Believe in yourself and enjoy your hobbies. We are lucky that you share your interests to the degree you do.
Dont change a single thing, please. I really enjoy all of your videos, help, and enthusiasm. Your "friendly style" isso much better than others who present a " Wee, Waaa, Wooo....It's all about ME" approach. Nope - i don't like those at all.
Your easy style is what keeps me watchingbyour channel. Great Job !!
Mark, I’ve followed you for yonks and you are probably one of the main inspirations for me setting up my own channel. So thank you. I confess to laughing at the beach towels… I have exactly the same for my voice overs. Thank goodness for Mark Denny and beach towels I say… and possibly in equal measure. Have a cracking 2024 😊
FWIW, this is one of my favorite channels. I really appreciate what you do here and love the format/style of your videos. I have learned and grown so much in my photography thanks to the content you put out. Thank you!
You are my go-to every morning I turn this thing on...thanks for being there. Thank you very much for your help...Happy New Year.
As someone who has struggled to actually make content for years out of fear and self criticism, I found this video supportive and inspiring. Thank you!
Mark, keep doing your thing.......that is why I watch.....it's just you. Congrats on a great 2023 & may 2024 bring you happiness each day.
Mark - I learn so much from you, no need to change. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Iceland in July.
Mark, I literally dusted off my old Nikon D90 once I discovered your videos. You're inspiring, likeable, easy-going and knowledgeable. The negative comments you get are a reflection of the people making them, NOT of you. Be yourself, we love you and your style. Much love from the Canadian Rockies xx
I appreciate your honest straightforward message to us about who you are and what you do and how you do it !. You can't save the world from Complaints!
Only just caught up with this latest video. You are one of the few photography channels that I subscribe to. I learn something every time. Keep doing what you are doing...over a quarter of a million subscribers. There is a Chinese proverb...If you worry what people think of you, you will become their prisoner. Or as we say in the U.K. "Don't let the buggers grind you down!" All the best for 2024.
the people who make those negative comments DO NOT have 22 million views as you have - you've taught me so much - please keep up the great work - and remember my mantra "those that matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter". Peace and have a great new year
The thing about trolls is, they just want the response to feel validated. People enjoy what you do, the content you create, and the images and instruction you provide. All the best in this new year. Hopefully we’ll cross paths in the WNC mountains one day this winter.
I am one of those who has learned from the thing with which you have struggled. I so appreciate your efforts. Thanks for all you do.
People who leave "unkind" comments are usually very insecure. Many photographers DON'T share their knowledge. You do, and those of us who watch very much appreciate the information you impart. Keep it up! If they don't like your style, they can find another photographer to learn from (or to criticize!). There are lots of great comments on here, so your core group (which is quite large, you know) likes you and your style enough to be faithful watchers/listeners/learners. There is always much to learn and few that share their knowledge so generously. Happy New Year!
Good for you! I have seen a lot of your videos and I've taken some of your courses, and I can't recall a single moment where I thought that it was in any way inferior. There are always going to be critics (1%). Please, keep making for me and the rest of the 99% that love them. And, by all means enjoy yourself. That's when you do your best work. That's what life should be about.
By the way; Your videos are every bit as good as anyone on RUclips.
Very well put, Mark. We have but one life and we can choose how we spend it. You have chosen a life of creativity and sharing your passion for creativity with others via this channel, as well as leading and participating in workshops - kudos to you. Others, a minority, chose a path of negativity and derive pleasure of a sort by tearing down what others have built up. Fortunately, they are a minority, though they are pesky rascals and can be hard to ignore at times.
I enjoy your videos - you are a gifted communicator. Keep up the good work....
Cheers,
Alex
I've had cameras since I was 7yrs old and am now 70yrs and consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. There are many so called experts out there and I still enjoy my photography even though some of my shooting is rubbish don't let that 1% bother you. All the best for the New Year and Regards Bob
Dr Seuss said it best…. “those that matter don’t mind, and those that mind don’t matter.
Happy new year!
I think what and how you do your videos/photo shoots are exactly how I would love to be working. I very much enjoy you and think you do an amazing job. I can tell you love what you are doing and that is what everyone’s dream would be. Those people that criticize you are just sad and jealous people. I guess the question is if they think you are so bad at what you are doing, why are they watching.
Bottom line. Keep doing what you are doing and do it how you enjoy it because you make it so easy to follow.
Thank you again.
Mark I’ve been watching you since you started your channel. Your one of my favorite photographers! I certainly do appreciate all the help I’ve received from your wonderful videos. As for giving an explanation to that 1% please don’t there are 99% who love and appreciate the work that goes into these videos. I would care 0% about the complainers believe me they complain EVERYWHERE not just on utube. Can’t wait to see what you have for us in 2024. Keep up the great work.
You make very helpful videos that I enjoy watching. I have learned a lot from you about Lightroom and composition. Don’t let these idiots get you down. I think most people who complain on the internet have never done any of these things they complain about. Happy New Year.
Mark, keep up the good work. Don't worry about the gatekeepers that think they get to decide who/what is worthy of what title. I and so many others sincerely appreciate you and all you produce. Remember that some folks need to tear others down to build themselves up. They are just pathetic and not worth your time. Ignore them and continue to inspire the rest of us.
Don’t change a thing. Your channel is great just the way it is. Maybe the knockers need to set up and do better - i doubt they could. When I come in to check my subscribed channels for new videos, yours is the first I check every time. I learn so much from your tips and tuition. Love your work. Keep it up.
Mark, your honest approach to share your craft is refreshing. Please keep doing what you do…floor towels included 😅
I’m always surprised that people feel the need to complain. This is free content and regardless of the mic sound or the fact that you only do one video a week, good for you. You’re authentic! I enjoy what you create. I was a podcaster for two years about 10 years ago and when I stopped enjoying it, I quit. Keep up doing what you enjoy and I’ll enjoy what you do. Even if it’s only once a week. Thanks Mark.
You're very, very good at what you do. I've been following you since you started. You've found a way to do what you love and others want to tear you down to make themselves feel better. Stay with what you're doing! People are strange.
Negative comments always surprise me. I am not sure why so many people need to try to make others feel bad so they can feel good. It is as if social media has given people a platform to express the frustration present in their personal lives. You have a great channel and always add value. Happy New Year and continued success.
You do an amazing job. I’m an audio and video professional and I’ve been following you for years. People complain because they’re insecure and unhappy.
Mark, your videos and the way you produce them are perfect. You are not only a phenomenal photographer, your teaching style I would dare say appeals to the majority who watch them. You have furthered my photography more than any others that I watch. Please, don't change anything. Those who troll you are only showing their jealousy and imaturity. Ignore them and keep on keeping on and be Blessed in 2024. Looking forward to what you bring us in the new year.
hi Mark, compliments for your format and way of telling us and making us wiser. I have learned a lot from your videos in recent years and you have inspired me. There will always be critics, but the most important thing is that it is your story, told the way you want to tell it and that you enjoy it and love it. And i like the way you do that. All the best for 2024.
Please keep doing you - great photographer and teacher with an equally great attitude. It's always worth watching your videos.
I am here for your insights in photography and beyond. I keep being inspired by you and enjoy your non gear centric approach. So, thank you!
I have learned a lot from you. Thank you and hoping for more next year. Like the beach towels and the bags hanging up on the wall. Audio is perfect.
Mark, please continue your path, I have truly enjoyed your journey thus far and I want to continue to see you sharing it. It’s unfortunate that you have to make a video such as this but I applaud you for making the effort for that squeaky 1%. Keep up the incredible work and please don’t stop sharing, you have many grateful and envious followers.
The photographer / youtuber debate and comments are exhausting on social media. It's easy to conflate them, but they're two really distinct skills, and both very challenging and rewarding areas to continually learn in. Thankfully for us you're good at both and have been consistently for years! Typically those that are loudest about this are only good at or are only learning one 😅
Hi Mark! Your photography is beautiful. Your videos are inspiring. The quality is great. Please keep doing what you do
Happy 2024. I enjoy your videos. Just keep doing what works for you. If people don't like it, it's a free channel, they don't have to watch it if they don't like it.
I don't subscribe to many landscape photographers channels, but yours is my favorite to watch. The others I have subscribed to say one thing in the title and don't really talk about the subject. They just video the location and what they are seeing. I have pretty much stopped watching them, and I tune into yours all the time. You are doing a great job, and I am looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2024!
I have always enjoyed your videos just the way they are. Please don’t listen to these complaints. There are people who just do this: complain. And I don’t enjoy in location videos. Hardly ever I see a really good one. Thanks for all your videos. Happy New Year!!!!
Last time I looked, you had over 250,000 subscribers so you must be doing something right! Just keep doing what you’ve been doing. I’ve learned a bunch from you. Have a great new year…
I like your authenticity. Be true to yourself, do what you love, and you'll get viewers who want to watch. Constructive criticism can be helpful, but people who only tear others down aren't worth listen to. Thanks for your great videos, and all the best for 2024!
Dude, you have a LOT of backpacks/bags! I Ned to show my wife that portion of your video, just to justify the far fewer number that I have!!! Love it! I learn a lot but I also just get a lot of laughs! Very grateful for what you do. Don’t change a thing. Have a great 2024.
Thank you Mark for being you!
Your content speaks for itself over 250K subscribers is your affirmation of a job very well done. I have very much enjoyed your videos and learned a ton of information.
I appreciate what you choose to share on your channel. Thank you!
I don’t understand why some people feel their negativity has to be shared. If they disagree or don’t like your content, don’t follow your channel.
Mad respect for you, man. You have been one of my go to learning channels for my photography and it’s largely due to the ease and style of the way you do what you do.
On location videos look exhausting to me. Especially when you’re a one man show. How many times do you have to set up your camera, walk around, walk back to get it, set it up again, rinse and repeat. 😂 That has to take so much time away from what you really want to do - take photos.
You kick ass man. Thank you for doing what you do and putting in the work to do it. Hope you had an amazing g holiday season and a happy new year!
You are a very relatable person… and the biggest reason I watch you every week! You don’t owe the negative nellies an explanation. Just keep doing what you’re doing! You do it well! Happy New Year!❤
I've recently found your content and it's great for the very reasons you state in your video, i.e., you have not gone for glam over content. The half dozen or so videos I have watched (a few times now) are on point, what more could anyone ask for, particularly since I'm getting the benefit of your experience at no cost to myself.
I totally understand you, Mark. We do what we love to. I learnt many things about photography from your channel. Let people ramble on what they want to, you know what you are doing.
For some reason, I almost cried watching this. You, sir, are a true gem. I love your set!
Don’t worry about what people say. Just be yourself and do what you love to do.
Be yourself! Do what you love! There will always be haters out there, never listen to them. Love listening to your stuff, keep doing what you love.
Mark just keep doing what you are doing. I have learned a considerable amount from watching your channel for the past year. Sound issues, not on my PC. If the photo's you take give you enjoyment, and memories, that is all that matters.
