You're the first person to explain "azimuth" in easy-to-understand terms. Thanks!
:) Great! I'm glad it is clear now!
I watched more than my share of photo pills videos and got frustrated. This is by far the best i've watched. Thank you for putting them together.
You bet - I hope they continue to help too!
Thank you so much. I have found your video's infinitely more helpful than the one provided by the app.
Your videos are fantastic!! Thank you!
Brenda does excellent job to give crystal clear explanation of basic concepts, which made my head whirling before watching this video. It's so much appreciated for such generous free courses. Thank you Brenda!
It's so refreshing to have such a brilliantly presented tutorial (s). Clear, concise, audio. Good pace. So easy to follow. I'm a fan. Thank you for all your hard work and time.
I have now watched parts 1,2 &3 and at long last I fully understand what was a mystery on the main page - thank you so much; great instructions
Terrific!
Excellent! Thanks.
This a great tutorial about photo pills. I’m am learning how to use this app. How you’re breaking it down into small chunks is great. 😊
I'm so glad you are enjoying the bite sized tutorials!
That cheat sheet is fantastic! Thanks! This is such a great series!
Oh good! I'm glad the cheat sheet is helpful. You can save it to your device so that it's with you when you need it.
Thank you so much ! I have had this app for a couple of years now and have used it once or twice but every time it was trial and error. I have listned to, and read lots of stuff online about supposedly how to use it but found that they were telling me more about what it can do. Instead of how to do it, finally you given me the tools for how to use it. So grateful :)
Have used the app on and off for a while now, but you just taught me things I never knew! Thank you 🙏
That's great!
Hi Brenda, loving this series, other previous PhotoPills tutorials go to fast to grasp the info. You seem to have nailed it! I have learned and remembered all you have shown us. I found your channel when I bought my first DSLR and have enjoyed all you have shared with us . Keep it up! Thank you. Be safe! Xxx
That's awesome, Neil! I'm so glad the content has been helpful as you start your photography journey! :)
I purchased the photopills app about a year ago [android] but I gave up on it and its collected dust in my phone since. As I was searching through CZcams on photography I stumbled upon your selection. I am watching N03 just now; you are excellent at training; so pricise and informative. Very much like Chris Keen's comment I am discovering 'how to utilise' the content and plan to use this app regularly. thank you very much
Another outstanding tutorial! 👏 Please continue the wonderful work Brenda!
Woohoo - thanks so much, Ralph! I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you for these tutorials videos. It really helps a lot. I downloaded Photo Pills yesterday and was just overwhelmed. So happy I found your channel, I have about 16 more episodes to watch. Thank you again..
You bet! I'm glad they will help you out!
I just discovered your Photopills tutorials and greatly appreciate them. Clear, concise, and not overwhelming. Look forward to watch many more and trying out your instructions. Thanks!
Thank you what's your name. I forgot. 3 more videos to go. You are the best and a lifesaver :)
Thank you Brenda. Great series! I look forward to PhotoPills Friday!
So glad to give you something to look forward to!
I am a brand-new user of Photopills - and just love your videos! Thank you so much.
Cool!! I just open Photopills on my phone and I follow you every time you give these tutorials that makes it easier for me. Thank you for saving the day!!
Yay! I'm glad they are helping and are easy to follow along.
Excellent PhotoPills CZcams series. Searching for more info on hyperfocus distance this morning. Long story short: I am watching by 4th video and have spent $10 for an app - rare experience for me. All good :) Aside from the on-target content, the production quality is the best; no needless time spent "warming me up" with a 2-3 minute, pointless lead-in to each episode. You get to the point. Did I mention how much I enjoy these episodes?
Thank you for doing this video!! The app is finally beginning to make sense.
Excellent series, PhotoPills is brilliant but a bit overwhelming and you've made sense of it. I can even plot something from my window during lockdown...!
Excellent! I hope you'll have lots of plans to look forward to!
GREAT job, Brenda! Looking forward to next week!
Thanks, Judi! Have a great weekend!
Gee, I have had this app on my phone for about a year and have watched many CZcams Episodes on PhotoPills but just couldn't get my head into it. I've now watched just your third video on the subject.... and 'Im seeing the light.... Thanks very much for the PhotoPills Friday series.
This is best video series for Photo pills I’ve seen, nicely down,
Brenda you are awesome! I always find the videos from Photopills go way too fast and expect too much knowledge of the app that I don't have. You explain everything so clearly and at a sensible pace. Thank-you!
Great videos thanks very much.
Great job! Very clear and easy to understand. Looking forward to many more videos!
Thanks so much!
I'm looking forward to learning how to use these tools. I'm disabled and the more planning the better! A ton of information in a pretty short amount of time! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You bet! I'm so glad they are helpful!
Thank you for making these very informative videos . I struggled with photo PhotoPill for years but after watching your video I might give it another chance
Thank you so very much for such an info-packed series in small doses! I recently attended a photo seminar that discussed advanced planning, assuming we knew photopills. I felt totally overwhelmed. Thanks to you I will be able to learn much more about this useful planning tool.
Wow!! It’s not everyday I want to learn about something in particular (via CZcams), and am blessed with tutorials of this grade and quality. If this isn’t your career, then I really hope that you are helping people as much as you helped me by teaching elsewhere.
You have taken a very complicated app and have broken it down so well. Thank you.
Thank you! You are very good at teaching and I appreciate all your videos!
Your tutorials are awesome!! Thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly 🙂
Great job . . . I have had PhotoPill for sometime but had difficult in understanding it. You are spot on . . . can't wait for the net episode. Many thanks from Arizona.
Thanks, Anthony! Glad you're enjoying the series.
You’re so GOOD!
Thanks. YOU ARE A STAR!
Awww, shucks - thanks, Fred! :)
Brenda, you are a very good teacher
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
The explanation is very thorough and clear, I don't think I would have been able to understand all the options of the application on my own.
Dear Brenda, thanks a lot for your great work! This helps so much!!!
Very glad to hear that!
Hi Brenda, Thanks for all your videos. I've had the PhotoPills app for 2 months now and have been struggling to get to grips with it........ until I found your channel :) Only on Episode 3 but its beginning to make sense. Looking forward to viewing all of your PhotoPills videos and then viewing your other subjects. Thanks again & best regards, Andy
Great description. thanks. I look forward to the next one.
Great! Thanks!
You ARE A W E S O M E . . it feels so GREAT to get threw this with some delightful understanding and comprehension. THKU
Great job Brenda! Thank you.
You bet!
Thank you for making these videos. I’ve watched plenty of PhotoPills videos but never found anything close to the level of your videos. Helps me enormously in learning photography and also generally understanding what’s above us in the sky. So thanks again and all the best from Finland 😊
Thanks for the instruction! This program is packed full of information. 😃
Glad you're enjoying it, Allen!
I subscribed a while ago and just found the Photo Pills videos just in time for my trip to Arizona. These are so well done. I will now active the bell for future videos.
Hi Brenda, great series and very informative and easy to grasp. i would like to echo as well I wish they were longer and more often than once a week.
So glad they are helpful, Mark! I would love to put more out more frequently - it's just not possible timewise for me right now. And, I'd have to change the name - ha! ;)
I've the app for while but now I'm starting the learn much more about it. Thank you Brenda
You are so welcome!
What an excellent video, as were the other two i watched! Off to watch ep 4 now
Woohoo! Glad you are enjoying them.
This PP series is awesome!
Hooray!! Thanks!
Your teaching is clear follows logical thinking
Hey kid.........glad you're back..........this is great! I just bought the app but have been frustrated in trying too understand how it works. The "Bard", bless 'em, is impossible for this old man to understand. The length of the videos is fine. So, keep 'em coming kid.
Thanks! I'm glad they are easy to follow and are helping :).
Thank you Brenda. Great video to help me to ‘break into’ this fantastic app.
I'm glad it's helping, Les!
This series is great, easy to understand, thank you
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for both your cheat sheet and tutorial. I have watched several photo pills tutorials. Yours is the best. I suggested that photo pills should support your site. Once again, thank you
Thank you so much Brenda. Lovely explained. I've learned a lot from these videos.
I'm so glad! Thanks!
Great job Brenda. You have a great presentation style and your video work is excellent. I use PP a lot, but learned enough to be functional and this is a great way to slowly absorb some of the features I have not been using or get some explanations for some nagging questions.
Thanks so much, Dave! That means a lot.
Hi Brenda absolutely love your explainations, so much easier when you know how
This is perfect! Exactly what I needed! Thank you so much.
I just started watching your great PhotoPills series. Thank you very much for the great instructional videos, which are very beneficial and helpful. Good job.👏
I watched a few other PhotoPills videos. This series is by far the best I've seen. It is well organized, detailed, and moves at the right pace for me. Kudos!
Wow! I had no idea. Great video series. Thank you.
Love this series
Can't wait for the next one
So glad to hear that! : )
I really needed this tutorial. Thank you so much!
You bet! Glad it's helping.
Great Brenda..finally get to use the App

You're very welcome, Mark.
Very good explanation!
Just found you this is great 👍 greetings from Colorado and have a merry Christmas 😎
Great channel. Congrats!!!!!!
Awesome thank. I’m going to try to use it this week during the New Moon to plan for the Meteor shower, Milky Way and some star trails if the weather cooperates. Can you show us an example of how to plan a shot where the moon is just coming up over the horizon and looks huge in the sky?
Hi Angie - great! Were you able to see the meteors? It was rainy here :(. And yes, I can do a video on how to plan a large moon image at the horizon! Ep 5 will be a moon plan video with the Statue of Liberty, which will touch on many of the same processes.
Outdoor Photography School with Brenda Petrella great yes I did see 3 meteors. I posted a pic on my IG @wanderinglensphotos. Great can’t wait to see that. Now I have to find a location for the next full moon.
❤
On your phone there are the 11 white dots. But on a tablet there are only 6 white dots. This confused me for sometime until I noticed that one white dot on the tablet covered the same information a two white dots on a cellphone.
This should make a valuable but complicated app easier.
Brenda, when referring to the sun or moon's altitude, which part of the sun or moon is at that altitude. The top, middle or bottom? Thanks
Hi Michael - good question! It refers to the center of the sun or moon.
Brenda, why is your map green with hills? I can’t find anything like that on my map type. Thanks
I'm having trouble finding the link to the shortcuts - please help?
How do I get to the cheat sheets
The map that you’re working on is green with hills.. I went to my map type and tried standard,satellite, terrain and hybrid and none of them look like yours.
Uhg, I think I am too stupid for this program! I really want to learn it but I am already lost. I have my map set to terrain but it doesn't look like terrain to me, I dont have a red pin anywhere and dont know how to get one. I am super frustrated.
My map is not like yours, mine looks like a map, with names of places and roads. I also don't have 3 lines in the moon view, I don't have the one that moves. I'm obviously not doing something correct, can you help me?
Hi Sandy - it sounds like your map type selected in the map settings is either a standard or hybrid view. To change it, click on the little icon that looks like two pieces of paper in the lower right side of the map. This brings you to the map settings. Under "Map type", you can select the kind of map you'd like to use. In regard to the moon map layer - if your date/time is set for when it's a new moon (so not visible at night), then you wouldn't see the thin blue line move.
@@outdoorphotographyschool7366 The Map Type is set for Standard. If I understand what you're saying, for each tab at the top in the Planner, you need to change the Map setting? How do I know which map setting goes with each tab? I don't think you covered this, did you?
Tried to get your cheat sheet but nothing was sent to the email address I gave. I tried three times.
Very sorry to hear that! It may have gone to your spam folder. Can you email me directly at brenda@outdoorphotographyschool? I'll send it to you.
The sun and moon lines on my PhotoPills (version 1.7.8) don't look like these.
