Brian, I my opinion the biggest appeal of your channel is you. You are so informal and personable, and you are the only content creator I know of who uses their car as their video studio! So, my first suggestion is to keep being you and doing what got you to 10k+ subscribers. As for sharing photos - only do so when they are making a point or showing something about a bit of kit. Plenty of "photography" channels out there for skills lessons. I do like your reviews, but I think what makes them special is that many are of lesser known or lower cost kit that still can deliver a big bang for the buck. Not everyone can afford the latest or most expensive gear, so keep giving the "tasty bits" a lot of love as you have been. Having said that, if you find a new product that pleases you or you think more should know about, then share it.
But, the most important thing I would ask is that you keep talking about the point of photography, as you do so often. For those of us who want to keep our photography fun and therapeutic, it's way too easy to get caught up in GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), or pixel peeping, or format wars, and other distractions. I find photos I took years ago with gear I sold to get "better" that really please me. They convey a feeling, or tell a story, or otherwise do what good photos should do. You are one of the few who talk about this with such practical sincerity, directly to every one of your viewers, right there from your car. Keep it up, Brian.
I really like when you throw in a product review here and there. I just like the very friendly and positive vibes I get watching your channel.
Also, I am a micro 4/3rd fan even though I mostly shoot using a full frame camera. I always liked the MFT format.
I find your channel kind of refreshing, actually. It's a 'vlog', right? You talk about what you like and what you use and how you like it and how it is to use. That's a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the sparkly channels that are like "this forgotten digicam takes endless film-like photos" (no it doesn't) or "why fuji is amazing" / "why you should stop buying fuji", or "why you should never use ISO 100" or all that crap. It's actually one of the reasons I decided to go with m43 when I was buying a more modern camera to get back into photography after a long absence.
I enjoy your review videos. They are down to earth, honest, and very hands on. Please continue doing them. They are appreciated.
Thank you! Will do!
I like long videos, 20min plus. I like road trip vids, photography waffling, no need for fancy editing. I also like some talking while driving type content, then video of the destination and places along the way, kind of allows me to enjoy it vicariously.
You have been very helpful to me in my change from Dslr to MFT and I hope that you will not change your channel.
Keep it simple, keep it entertaining, if you enjoy it then we will!
Enjoy your discussions Brian and thanks for your work. Keeping it simple (as you’re already doing) would be my approach to this channel and sharing your photographic experiences along the way. Thanks again 👍
Thank you so much
Brian, I subscribe to your channel because I like you and what you talk about. You would not recommend a camera or a lens that you would not use yourself (assuming money is no object). If you like something you say it, if you don't like something you say it - politely. This is very good formula. More importantly, I value your views on photography and how you evaluate a shot & etc. You are doing the job right, because you are being you. I am a pro public speaker and the #1 requirement of that role is to be "authentic" - which is just a very fancy way of saying, "Just be yourself". You do not really to review new products. There is nothing broken with your channel, so there is nothing to fix. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, that gives me confidence to carry on.
Hi Brian, I enjoy all you do. My request would be to revisit some of the older and smaller M43 kit in 2024, not technical reviews but just using the stuff out and about. You have covered a lot in the past but there is no harm in revisiting :-) Portraits of interesting local people (who give permission) and how you approach that would be great too.
Yes! Camera conspiracies is good but I'm sure he's not wired up right? Unlike you Brian. You're very down to earth and that's why we love you. Keep making it down to earth. Us normal people love it! Long may you continue.
Thank you. I’m not actually sure I’m wired up right either most of the time lol
Hi Brian,
One very simple way to cope with any pressure is to vent it.
So, if potential supplier X, who wants you to do a review, and feeds you what they want you to say with a slogan, introduce it as such. Along the lines of what these people want me to say is blah, blah, blah, so if you hear it somewhere else, you know who wrote it and where it came from. Now, here's what I think...
As a regular viewer of many channels, such an approach would be most refreshing, and if you review some things that quite frankly you're not interested in and definitely don't like you could have some real fun...
One of my favourite channels is camera conspiracies. I would recommend you watch it as it may help you to deal with the pressures you're feeling.
It can be a hilarious watch as after slating a product either out and out or tongue in cheek, the host asks with a straight face for you to buy it from the links below.
The fact is that host has been coping with CZcams pressures for years, so it works for him. Have fun finding your own venting mechanism and share it with us.
Brian,
Be sure to have fun with what you do.
I watched Paul’s video last night, as I follow his channel, and it was very different. It’s amazing how many photographers have arisen from mental health backgrounds, or all the stress of today’s workplaces and living. Another is Alister Benn of Expressive Photography, amongst others. So yes, a very beneficial video. I’m quite happy with the way you are going, but absolutely adore it when you get out and about. I too subjected myself to the 12-100mm, but have to wait for it. It’s you I have to thank to make me check it out - again! It was on special, so I ordered it☹️. Haven’t told him yet. 😂
Thank you Trish. I really hope you enjoy the lens.
Will let you know if it ever arrives!!!! Some of my friends have it and love it.
I like your channel because of your kind personality, and your experience in photography. I love camera reviews, but I enjoy lessons on photography, and travel vlogs. Have you watched Camera Conspiracies channel? He seems to handle CZcams stress well. Have fun whatever you do.
He's very good and you are right he does seem to handle it well.
Hi Brian, I enjoy your videos a lot and refer to them should it be a lens I'm looking at getting our a setting that may help my photography. Please continue to review products and follow up on them as with the Osmo questions. You tend to always give the good, bad and ugly, but leave us to decide if it's ok for us. Thank you for all you do for the Micro 4/thirds platform.👍
@@stevewalker7513 ah, thank you so much
Hi Brian, Your passion for photography and what you do is clearly evident in your videos. Re: the gear reviews, if it is a piece of kit that you believe is useful to you in what you do then why not review it? Personally I believe you get the balance right. Unlike some more prominent folks on this platform who just show new products and nothing much more.
I appreciate it’s a balancing act but please don’t let it cause you to overthink it.
Enjoy Cyprus, just got back from there and the weather was great.
ATB…….Keith
Thanks Keith. I’ll keep a seat warm at the English Rose Cafe ready for your next visit. Thanks for warming it up for me next week.
Keep things as they are Brian - if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Will do
Hi Brian. I really enjoy your style of vlogging and its interesting content. The pressure to find something new and interesting to talk about must be very difficult for you I'm sure. The gear reviews you do are beneficial to us all, due to your stance on only reviewing what you would use yourself. I am sixty four now, and don't really do social media, think i missed the boat on that one 😂 Photography for me is a way of getting out and about to help deal with the stress of modern life. So in answer to your question, don't change anything about your channel, we like you and your channel just the way you are 👍
Thank you
You should try wearing just a pair of budgie smugglers, growing your hair, get some tattoos and doing a Peter McKinnon style video making coffee with very little photography content 🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣 You just might double your subscribers overnight! :D PS I'm a Nikon Z5 user but love your vids! keep up the great work!
lol budgie smugglers…..that would put a few people off their breakfasts
I have a problem with teaching someone how to take photos without losing his interest and getting too complicated. Five minutes for composition is kind of ok. Five minutes for light - not so much. But when I get to speeds and aperture it's game over, don't even get to sensitivity or exposure triangle
I enjoy your videos! Continue to post what you want, and DONT contract to do anything you dont want to do...keep it fun.
On paid content, only promote stuff that you would use or you think your viewers would find useful. Check out the advertisers as you don't want to be involved with "selling small parts of Scotland and becoming a Laird". Film the promo separately from your actual content and place a caption on screen "Paid Content".
Your viewers should have no issues with this as sponsorship helps pay for your channel.
Also keep the mix of tips, tricks, reviews and monologues. Also photo walks with real life use of kit are fun.
How would I like to see in your channel? : you enjoying your passions.
I shall certainly try to
Keep most of, if not all of your content based around what YOU want to create. Unless you're trying to grow as quickly as possible. In that case create what YOU want most often and throw some algorithm grabbing videos on occasion. Whatever you decide, try not to make CZcams a stressful part of your life.
Thanks so much Brian greatly appreciate it mate. Have to meet up soon 😁✌️
You're welcome. I genuinely do enjoy your channel and content, not just because I know you but because its excellent work.
@@ThatMicro43Guy Thanks buddy glad you enjoy it mate it means a lot ✌️
If you do not enough experience about reviewing a product, this can lead to a lot of discussion from fanboys, who doesn't like your reviews.
