Love the fact that the Mercedes’ was so polite and stopped whilst you were finishing the video. Another great one and I think bringing in the history background is another good approach. Cheers DG
Mike i have whatched you for YEARS...you never fail with informative videos..and new series that is so entertaing!!...and most importanly...you me wunt to go shoot pics....rhank you
I like the wider spaced shot of flowers- tree and the grain silo - Your choice of music is so good for this type of video-- Just a fun concept - I have really enjoyed your biker Photo videos.
I'm so pleased that one of the musts when I upgraded gear recently was a flippy screen! My goodness it was a game changer. I always being taken for a ride in these videos Mike. They continue to inspire me to get out on the bike and get out with the camera. Thank you so much for these videos.
I enjoy these photo bike series Mike. I go out with a friend and do that in the fall and winter but in a car, take back country roads and when we see something that catches our eye, pull over and work the composition. Good fun. Also, like seeing your thought process as well.
Great spring ride today Mike. Thanks for sharing the fine afternoon weather. I think I liked the very last shot you took zoomed in looking down the road toward the badges. Can't wait for the next photo ride.
Hi Mike! D'ya know, the more I watch your videos, the more I think to myself "I must visit that part of the country!" When we're holidaying as a family, we tend to head north if I'm honest, but The New Forest area looks gorgeous!
I really like the photo biker series! I sold my motorcycle in spring of '21; my age and health makes it unlikely that I will ride again. So, I live vicariously through these videos. The sample course segment, that I ordered from your site, should arrive soon. I'm not sure which course would be most appropriate, but I'm trying to figure that out.
Thank you @Oblique Perspective. If you have any uncertainty about camera, settings, creative use of lenses, Light and composition - go for A Masterclass In Photography. If you can do all these without having to think about it, The 7 Building Blocks Of Photography will give you the ability to think like a photographer, combine the technical and creative aspects of photography effortlessly and easily. 7 Block does not touch on any camera controls or settings. ... MIKE🙏😊
Funnily enough Escape to the Country was in New Forest on tv last night. I'd love to see the ponies of course. You know you have me watching bike reviews now, lol, it has been so long I must have rocks in my head. Very enjoyable once again, looking forward to the next one.
Another enjoyable vlog, great views, weather and of course, the dialogue! I think the those on the biker workshop will have a great time. I'm returning To New Milton in a fortnight, so will be looking out for you, just in case you've got a coffee and tasty morsel on board !
To echo other's comments, a great video again Mike. As a retired senior, I am not a biker unfortunately(sports cars, yes) Always look forward to the videos, my get away for a bit during our fluctuating spring temperatures.Sold my 55-200 Fuji some time ago ( mistake maybe ?) & presently enjoying my 70-300 and new 23 mm 1.4 WR LM lens.
Great video as always Mike. On the subject of camera features I think many modern features are useful. There are so many different kinds of photographers. So there may be one or two features on your camera you don't need. But I do. And someone else with the same camera might use features that are there for them, but not us. That's what makes some modern cameras so good - they can be used for so many different things. I don't agree with those who say "I don't use this feature so they should remove it" as though that body was made just for them. Such features, the universality, keeps the price down for us all. We benefit from features we may not use. And of we want to try something new in future, we don't need a new camera.
I agree @Grumpyrocker that there are many useful features. Auto focus modes, histograms, live view, adjustable ISO and many more. I don't suggest ones I don't like or use should be removed, I'm saying we don't need them. Need is different to them being kinda handy. But some are pointless. Adjustable dynamic range for example. Why would anyone want to make their camera less efficient? And when it gives me the option of 200% dynamic range I know I'm being lied to. 100% is 100%. You can't fit 200% into a 100% glass... ... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne I find those dynamic range settings on Fuji cameras handy. They protect the highlights and bring up the shadows. No point when shooting RAW, but great for JPG in tricky conditions. I think they are mislabelled really - in effect they are subtle HDR. I tend to leave it set to auto as it'll just use 200 when it needs to.
I love the photo biker series you are doing now. We are just getting into riding season her in Pittsburgh and I can't wait to get out on the bike with my camera now! I would love a photo workshop in the US!
I been going about on a 250cc scooter Yamaha xmax lately I might buy another bigger bike one day but the 90mpg with the cost of fuel lately helps keep the scooter as good option as I get 80 mph if needed, I getting some lighter camera gear as the full frame d850 and pro lenses I use is too heavy I just getting a small mirrorless to take on my travels. Good video as always Mike.
Reminiscent of old-style Mike: "What will happen if we do this..?" I know you've moved on from that, but it would be great if once in a while you retraced some old paths.
As you where about 200m from where I live in Lyndhurst it was quite weird to see you outside the Crown, a bit like a News item, anyway, have you thought of or tried anti glare screen protectors on your camera screen, I have them now on my phone and iPad and was hoping they would have been here for Easter, to use on my cameras, however if they are as good as they are on my other tech then I think it’s going to be a game changer. DG New Forest UK
Hey David... Long standing connection with Lyndhurst. My grandparents had a B&B just past the Fire Station and my Grandmother's ashes are under the Yew tree at Boltons bench! Can't wait for the Photo-Biker workshop to begin there.. I'll look into them. For me it's less about glare than balance. The bright sky makes pupils contract so the LCD appears darker than it is, almost black in this case. .... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne Hi Mike even stranger, I co owned and ran a B&B in Lyndhurst Romsey Road for 16years, Joyce my x partners mother lived with us for 9years and was born at Bank where we spread her ashes and I used to be a fireman in GMC & SYC up North. and I collect old photos of Lyndhurst, also followed you for about 6 years. Very good and enjoyable. Regards David
As much as I enjoy your series Mike, I do wonder though, how do you shoot a picture? Is it really possible to shoot with a camera. Maybe we should focus yes, on making a picture. It is too much shooting these days. All the best to you all from me.
Thank you @Ivar Dahl-Larsen. "How do you shoot a picture?" 1st step is to be aware of the suroundings and what is happening, then to decide how you want it to look, move yourself into the right position and choose focal length and camera settings that will give you that look then press the shutter. Photography is not about shooting hundreds of frames, it's about choosing what you want and thinking the shot through... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne Thank you for the answer Mike, but as a photographer actually been longer at it than you, it is not how to photograph I wonder about, but the word to shoot. How can you shoot anything with a camera Mike? Let us please come away from the word shoot. There is too much shooting as it is, I'm afraid. I appreciate your teaching of people less knowledgeable than I am but stop shooting please. All the best.

The wider first shot for me but you missed the pattern in the mud of the tractor tyre's a nice black and white.
Thanks Bob. I actually did a test shot of the tyre marks but decided it wasn't great. If they's been fresh, wet and shiny then maybe... ... MIKE🙏😊
you should come up to scotland, maybe the east coast would make great footage mike.
