Hi Mark, thanks for posting. Sorry this is somewhat negative but not personal. After a couple of minutes I switched-off, so missed possible good photo items. Well, I suppose it is personal - but to me. Thing is that I am hyper-allergic to self-improvement / psychology topics. Probably my up-bringing - they set me on edge. Instead, I switched to Kim Grant's video (on ice photography) which was also posted this morning. Now, this is ironic because, after years of watching her YT photo channel, I had almost stopped precisely because of her latter focus on (what I think of as) psycho-babble. By the way, if anyone isn't me, her channel on landscape photography in Scotland is, otherwise, excellent. (YT channel: Kim Grant). This morning she squarely focused on photography - hurrah! Apropos your first point (which I did see) - be prepared not to be liked... well, as an retired teacher, that is an important mantra. I knew of a new teacher going into class, wanting to be liked; the pupils bestowed a near-nervous-breakdown upon him within a couple of months; he left the profession. Sir Paul McCartney said he (and The Beatles) wrote for him / themselves, not for others - that is the way to success of some sort. Maybe not quite Globe-conquering mega-success but, at least, not failure. I'll be back for your next video. All the best. Cheers.
Thanks for your feedback. I know that this video is not for everyone and I'm sure that others will share your viewpoint.. That's ok, I have zero problem with that, otherwise I'd be a hypocrite given the topic of the video. I definitely don't take it personally, everything is a game of opinions. Plus you expressed your viewpoint politely. RUclips is after all for conversations and different ideas and topics, and you are free to watch what you like and switch off what you don't like. My focus will continue to be on photography, never gear, but sometimes it's good to do something different. P.s. I'm sure Kim will be grateful for the channel recommendation!

I really enjoyed this video, an interesting topic, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think I need to try new things in my photography.
Thanks as always for commenting. Good luck experimenting, make sure to take the photos that you want.
