Don't overthink this. We can lean to certain focal lengths, but my experience is that you can change your preferences based on frequently shooting it. I used to love 50mm, and when I changed systems I had a 35mm I liked and I leaned to that, then I loved 85mm for a while, then I wanted to try a Leica Q3 and 28mm and that became very natural. Point is that creativity is inspired by constraints... where you stand, what you see, and what you can predict is based on practice...
I really enjoyed your interviews with the other photographers, and how they use different focal lengths. It would be nice if you could follow them and see how they use it live with you recording. There are some channels that do POV style of how they use their camera, but a 3rd person view with some interaction is still not that common.
But alas with all the different sensor formats we have now, one factory not considered here is sensor format. This makes a BIG difference when you talk about a particular focal length. A 50mm is considered normal for the full frame genre but is telephoto on an APS-C. With out this factor compared, it's not all that helpful.
thanks for having me on Dan, nice shots with the Nikon! I hope people getting into photography get a lot of value out of this video
Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom!
I have the Fuji APSC equivalent of the 28-50-135 and that has been a really great trio for me
Nice! Covers all bases

100% Agree with this 🙌
That ibis on the fence with the plane in the background is such a nice shot! ❤
Probably my favourite from the set 🫶
Another really nice video. You put a good deal of work into it. And it was quite thought provoking. Oh, and I subscribed.
Thanks really appreciate you checking out my content!!

That's a great idea will see if we can do something like that ❤️
