Photographing otters, DEPTH OF FIELD explained, how to clean your sensor, Fuji GX-617 in action.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this month's Photography Online we take a serious look at depth of field (grab your pen and paper), do some wildlife photography with otters, show you how to clean your camera's sensor, take the Fuji GX617 for a walk along the beach, and we try an alternative way to take aerial photos without a drone (emphasis on the word "try"!). We also continue our countdown of the top ten views on the Isle of Skye by visting Neist Point, and we have two amazing giveaways - a pair of top-spec binoculars from Kite Optics worth £260 and a sensor cleaning kit from Visible Dust worth over £250.
Photography Online caters for all levels of photographers, from beginners looking to learn the basics of photography to experienced camera users looking to advance their camera skills further. From digital to film, from landscape photography to wildlife and travel, we have top tips from our own professional photography team, as well as information on the best locations from which to take photos.

What a crystal-clear, superb explanation and illustration of the depth of field dilemma. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Don

Listen! Count me as one of those subscribers who know the value of these videos. Every episode comes with top quality, rich in knowledge and information. Good enough to be a TV show on Netflix and the sort! I started with the June edition and I have gone back to start from January. I don't know what I'll do when I get to the last. God bless all of you making this free for all!
Marcus's DoF explanation is next level.
Thanks Angus.
Give this a big thumbs up. What a brilliant on line photography channel this is you don’t have to be a pro or a geek to understand the features shown as always explained in easy terms and sometimes with a bit of humour added. The features are in bite size chunks enabling you to watch when you have spare 5 minutes, but I guarantee you will sit and watch from start to finish as I do and everything else will have to wait.
That kid’s endearing laughter was exactly what I needed to hear today. Best regards and cheers to all of you; thank you for the education and entertainment!
This series deserves network coverage. Thank you. I've spread the message on Facebook.
Thanks for sharing!
Must congratulate the production team for doing such a great job.
My first show...top notch .... love it....something for all levels of photography....regards from the Irish midlands.
I've just discovered your vids on RUclips, I'm a old darkroom worker , I watched your coverage of a guy in his darkroom , it took back 10 years I absolutely loved it. ❤😂
Great to hear. Welcome to our channel
Your approach and programming is a breath of free air. Keep it going!
The most thorough explanation of DoF out there. Why a contribution to the photographic community 👏
Cheers Ajay.
Hi all, just wanted to say the depth of field section of this months show was the best demonstration of how it works I've seen so far, it was an excellent and very practical example thanks Marcus enjoying and look forward to all presenters on each month's show stay safe all.
I was also left wondering whether he was the snooker pro as shown here, or whether it took several takes?!
Excellent show with some great tips. Absolutely loved the "Controlled aerial photography" feature with the inclusion of some gorgeous giggles from the main launcher person. Cuteness overload! Now, what is this about? Three grown men sat at table number 12 drinking water and in Scotland of all places! Surely this is a crime against Scotland!
The information provided in your videos is really great, organized and well shot. I think that there are 3 otters in the otter photo.
One of the best (if not the best) photography content on youtube. I've been following you since day 1 and I am glad I am. Keep up with the good work, guys. You rock! :)
Brilliant content. Super presentation. Never stop ...just keep going ..you will become the best photography channel on youtube shortly.
I can't answer for anyone else, but the best segment of the show, other than watching a camera and photographer not getting swept away by the surf (I was praying for them), was seeing the joy in the little lass as she ran with the kite! Bring her back soon! I love the show!
Excellent. Full of practical insights.
Best illustration of DoF I've seen so far!
Thanks Magnus
Depth of field section Wow ! This part of the episode is going on my rewind and repeat list to infinity, amazing perspectives. Mind boggling balls of confusion
Ep. 2
Ruth, I can't wait to see your garden being explored the way Neist point just happened to be. Especially that "High-slide peak", which is of the strangest green colours. Springtime induced perhaps ! 🤔
Main thing being animals can rest atop. 😉
We may get the chance to discover one of Nature's greatest mysteries and treasures : peat. How weird are those vegetals, able to grow infinitely, resulting in layers of up to dozens of meters in thickness ! Heat, gardening, birds nesting... you name it. Not forgetting a major role in Whiskies distillation.
Nature's treasure... I told you. 😇
Hi from Australia Thanks for making photography more easy to understand ......at 67...and just found the hobby .I need all the help I can get
Keep up the great work Regards
Another awesome video with excellent content and useful tips. Thanks!!
The kite experiment was priceless, the little girls laugh was so cute, made me laugh, and that is just the medicine we need these days. Very well done, and funny :)
To be honest....thank you for one of the best photography channel on the web...
...great work, briliantly hosted by Ruth Taylor, great topics in every episode even if you´re not immediately 100% interested in this topic.
The whole show is presented very sympathetically, with great pictures, topics and the people who are responsible for this show ...

Thanks Michael. We're glad you are enjoying it.

Keep up the great work and keep shooting ,and leave nothing but footprints...Stay safe to all.

Excellent Show as usual
I liked Harry's advice about cleaning the front of lenses and his demonstration of wiping in a circular motion. I have a comment, however. I was once cleaning the front of my Nikon 70-200 and was wiping in a circular motion as always. I always wiped in a circular ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction as Harry was doing. This time the retaining ring for the front element of the lens came unscrewed and I had great difficulty getting the lens back together correctly. My advice now is wiping in a circular motion, but make sure that you wipe CLOCKWISE to prevent loosening the front element. I had never thought about or noticed that I had been loosening the front of my lens until it came off. Fortunately, I was working on a soft cloth and the lens element was not damaged when it came off.
I am in Australia and look forward to this video each month. Very well done.
Another great show guys. Well done again. I love the Skye location section every month. This months favourite section for me was photographing otters, really enjoyable and informative.
Love the videos...I could listen to Ruth talk all day. Love her voice
thank you Marcus, this is the best explanation and illustration of DOF I have ever found. You made it easy to get to grips with a difficult subject.
Glad it was helpful Lynn. Thanks for watching and happy New Year.
This channel is pure gold for a beginner like me! I love the content!
Glad you enjoy it!
My first view of your show but it won't be my last! Thanks, from New England, USA
Your entire team is doing the most rigorously correct photography instruction I've seen online. SO impressed! Thank you for sharing your expertise in such a careful and clear way.
Just when you think you guys couldn't get any better, you do! Very slick, very professional, packed with useful information (and opinions), well put together and presented - thank you very much.
You bring together generosity, humour, intelligence, respect for the natural surroundings, pleasure for the craft, and positive regard for each other, which gives your series a breezy spirit that is edifying, educational and fun all at the same time... I'm grateful indeed
Another incredible episode, with not a single wasted moment.
That "otter chapter" was to fall for... I have to make it to Skye. Well... speaking about the long term that is.
You all can be proud of your work, no hesitation allowed !
Doing my best to refer you around among my English speaking fellows.
Please... keep on keeping !!!
Three things 1 I want to live on Skye 😍 2. Due to limited funds if you could only have one lens for landscape which would it be I have a eos80d 3. This is the best channel on RUclips for photography keep up the good work...
The best all round lens for your camera will probably be the Canon 15-85mm EF-S. If a new one is out of your budget then look at used ones. They are great lenses for crop sensors. Hope this helps.
Photography Online thanks for your help I’ll look into this
Every episode is professionally produced and presented and the contents are varied, informative and suitable for photographers with a wide range of experience and skill. Quite excellent. Thank you.
Great show that keeps getting better. Enjoy the diversity, the skill, the humor and the accents!
This show should be on the top 5 YT photography channels. Thank you for your work!
Another great show guys...looking forward to the next episode
Great channel and content 👍 Started photographing as a hobby few months ago, so I’ve been watching hours and hours material from RUclips. I have to say that this was the best explanation of depth of field.
Great job y'all!
Another great show. I especially liked the depth of field portion. And Marcus, your daughter is very cute.
Love your videos ! Keep them coming ! A big THANKS to you all.
Loved the otter feature and brilliant advice, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Only found this channel today. What a brilliant program. Full of great information which is professionally presented. I will be going through any back episodes I find and look forward to seeing future ones.
A very good, and accurate, description of Depth of Field. Years ago, many years ago, there was a movement underfoot to change the name to Depth of Focus. But with your very capable lesson, there's no need.
Great show as always and superb production quality! Wishing you all good health!
Again, an excellent show. Many thanks.
Thank you! Depth of field knowledge, now, not so confusing.
Thank you so much for sharing all the good information.🤗
Cheers Sean
Fabulous explanation on depth of field!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻📸🎞
Cheers Jimmy
Another well crafted video that provides information, insight and amusement. The obvious fact that this team enjoys their work, their passion for photography and look like friends enjoying each others company is what sets it apart. Please keep up with the film camera segments, very well done.
I stumbled across this site whilst scrawling through RUclips, I have a keen interest in photography although haven’t touched my camera for a few years. Absolutely loved it, very informative and enjoyable, I have subscribed and will recommend this to other friends.
Love this show. Just discovered it last week and I'm working my way through all the episodes ☺️. Keep up the good work.
Welcome to our channel Rory. Thanks for watching
I watched these series backwards and I’m excited to see a quality show about photography. 3 experts and a host keeping the show balanced. I don’t know how you guys finance this, but regardless if you are a professional or an amateur trying to get out of Auto this channel is entertaining, informative and charismatic.
On another note that kite idea is great. Couple tweaks to the idea and you might have something going on to those banned drones areas.
I was so glad to see there was a episode for May given the lockdown. Excellent show as always . Thanks guys
Another great production, well done team 👍
I enjoyed the 6x17 insert, thank you! 🎞📸
Welcome Craig
The best generalized photography show on RUclips. Keep up the good work guys.
... Marcus with the little lady and the kite! awesome! Thank you! and to you too, Ruth!
Should be called Best Photography Online. Looking forward to next episodes.
This is the most epic photography channels, I love how long this content is... Amazing and enjoyable - liked, subbed and fallowed
Thanks Charlie. Please help spread the word to your friends and other photographers. Welcome to our channel
Excellent content guys, many thanks!
Absolutely loving these programmes. You should be on main stream TV!!! HAve have been binge watching them over the last couple of days. The kite experiment was hyllarius. Your gonna need a longer tail for it!
Red Jacketed "oh sh!!" whilst H cleans the lens with sand paper and then chucks it! Again, great content/tuition indespersed with 'rofl' humour. Nice one guys.
Thanks for another entertaining and informative show.
You Guys are amazing. I'm an underwater photographer, but due to the global lockdown I couldn't enjoy take UW pics as much as I would, so I really enjoy your show, and let me close more and more to landscape photography, that I missed since a wile. And here in Maldives there are plenty of landscape photo session opportunities for me. Thank you so much from the depth of my heart.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show! Shooting the GX617 was fascinating, I am thinking of getting one! Yea, Photography Online is the most comprehensive photo show online.
I love this show...
Thanks soo much,i have been watching you guys last couple days yet i have learned soo much. your efforts are appreciated.
Another great episode, Informative, fun and inspiring. Really enjoyed. Keep up the good work. 'til next we meet, Slainte.
Hello P.O.L team thanks for another interesting video with lots of great content. Keep up the good work but most of all stay safe 😷.
Good episode. Thnx v.m.
Your videos are really good. Thanks. Jer
great show! spot on info with the Otters, nice one guys! JP
Awesome content every single time! Thanks guys!
Outstanding info on DOF. Thank you.
I think that perfect word would be uttered by most photographers. I had a fit of laughter at your dilemma! Stay safe guys and keep uploading your very intuitive, sometimes comical videos.
Great episode lots of tips and information, very professional!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job folks!
Excellent show yet again. Really appreciate the quality of content and advice. Great job guys n gal.
Cheers David
Once again fantastic episode . Thoroughly enjoyed the otters piece and the piece explaining depth of field.
Astonishingly good content, accessible without being patronising with consistant themes between episodes. After the lockdown, Skye next stop!
I had a fantastic Otter encounter in the centre of my small town a few days back. A mum with two young feeding on eels and fish and even taking a pigeon into the water at one point. They have moved closer into town due to flood alleviation work and are regularly spotted by local dog walkers and cyclists. I managed to observe them up close for around four hours with one youngster coming in to the shallow water to within six feet of me and looking up my lens. Keep up the great work with the channel, the most enjoyable subscription I've found on RUclips to date. Well done everyone.
Another great show. Keep up the good work
Just crossed my mind to check the channel for a new episode, the surprise I got ! Awesome, keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks Team
Excellent video all round - thank you for putting the time and effort in to make something with such high production values. Especially liked the balance of technical and fun.
Wow! I’ve only just discovered this channel. Fantastic content! Great work...
Consistently great series of shows
Another excellent episode. Big thank you, to all the production team, your hard work is making this a must view show. Would be interesting to have a feature, on each team members favourite personally captured image, with an explanation of why. Take care and stay safe.
Brilliant, these tutorials just gets better and better,. Really enjoyed it.
I think that might be your best show yet.. although I have enjoyed them all immensely. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Freshly discovered this channel yesterday and already watched all videos now. I'm really exited about the content and its presentation. Many thanks for this amazing format!
Great programme this month - thanks. I'll share the DOF with Birlingham Photography Club as I think a few will find it fairly easy to understand, even the techie bit was fine!! Thanks.
Another work done. Good job this time too. Keep it up, we are watching you.
