I know Nick, sometimes people expect too much from budget lenses and certain 'reviewers' come down hard on them, simply to justify their reputation. It's not perfect but more than acceptable.
Very enjoyable video Alan, great combination of history and photography, thank you for taking the time to make and share videos such as this one (and the previous ones). Be well and stay safe.
Thanks for sharing your modus operandi Alan, you do well to present a coherent history lesson and photo info in a fluid manner, it appears to the viewer that you walk talk, take a picture, than walk and talk? Or do you take the pictures first then edit them into your commentary later? That sounds like a great idea to consult Google maps for snippets of extra location information. I thought I noticed a slight haze from time to time on some of your cinema footage, did you have any sort of lens filter attached or use a different shooting mode? Cheers Alan.
Hi Steve and to answer your last point first, I actually messed up the settings on the P3 and had to correct in Da Vinci Resolve; that's why some of the footage basically looks awful! As to when I take pictures, it varies! This video includes footage and shots from 3 visits and I just edited them in to the most appropriate section. Normally I walk around and take stills as I go, occasionally I set the P3 on a tripod so you can see me taking stuff as well. Google maps helps me understand the layout of a place + it gives me travel times and routes, which for me using public transport is important.
@photographyforenjoyment Sorry about spotting that something was slightly off, Alan. It wasn't that bad, and I wasn't quite sure; at least it shows I was paying attention 😉.
What a pleasant and historic place, also very photogenic. Thank you for sharing your lovely images and the process leading to them.
Thanks Clare, at least I know the video kinda made sense to you so I'll take that any day 👍
another fascinating insight Alan
not much wrong with that f1.1 Kamlan to my eye :-)

I just enjoy doing it Enrique!
@@photographyforenjoyment It is obvious (to me) that you really enjoy what you do, and I’ll repeat myself, you do it very well Alan.

I'm glad someone spotted it!
