This series keeps getting better. The addition of a mini interview with a local really does top it all off. I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks Mike.
Mike, I really like this as it's real world photography. Most of us don't have easy access to stunning mountains or the Scottish highlands but everyday places are almost "just round the corner" . Just a great down to earth approach keeping it simple and learning to "See" the photographic opportunities that present themselves and exploring the options available with focal length, positioning and exposure and combining it with a trusty motorcycle things just couldn't be any better. I've also done a couple of MotoPhoto type vlogs, it's a great way to spend a few hours :) Sandy
I've never had a chance to travel in England. I'm really enjoying these treks of yours, Mike. I'm enjoying the new scenery, the photography, the history and the people. Wish I could have been there to shoot in / against the mist that day. Thanks for sharing. Jim Hester Niceville, FL.
Hi Mike. I’m loving every single one of these videos. Ever since I received my driver’s license at age 16 I have wondered the roads. I have always been observant of the surroundings as I travel and have TAKEN many images that have been less than impressive. Thanks to starting your Masterclass and watching these awesome videos I’m learning to CREATE better images. Thank you for all you do sharing your knowledge, your encouraging words that keep us going when we struggle and get discouraged, and teaching us how to become better photographers. There aren’t enough words to express how truly appreciative I am.
Ah thanks Kimberly. I'm delighted you enjoy them - and that you've enrolled on Masterclass. (Make sure you do the exercises 🎓) Now stop it - I'm starting to blush ... MIKE🙏😊😆
I remember 1964, when I was 16 and had my first Lambretta scooter, when the price of petrol went UP to 6 shillings and 8 pence a gallon. NOT a litre. This meant it cost £1.00p for THREE gallons!
I appreciate these videos. Its not easy to ride around,stop,get everything out and take pictures. Not only that but your juggling multiple cameras,traffic,roads,exploring etc. Not easy..I cycled "bicycle" 5 1/2 years and would do videos and sometimes take some pics on my rides. AND it was a pain at times. Good job Mike..Thanks
Thanks for apprieciating that mikiesonTV. I can't count the number of times I've stopped, unpacked, set up tripod, changed audio set-up etc and by the time everything's ready the light's changed and the shot has gone. Pack everything away and try again somewhere else. But hey - I love it. Being out in the world rocks.. ... MIKE🙏😊
I love the ride and the photos. I really enjoy the chat with Geoff. I do like your bit of history you share too. It feels like an amazing video of fun! Thanks for sharing and please keep it up.
Hi Mike. Love your videos especially the photo-biker series. God Bless you and your friends for the help you've given to the Ukrainian refugees. Stay safe and best wishes. Peter
I am not from England so it feels funny to watch you ride your bike on the left side of the road😁. I think I am going to use my telephoto lens more thanks to you.
Thanks Jonathan. I'm working on what little was filmed there this week and will put it on here in 2 weeks. Paul and I are going to return to the Uraine border ASAP. Stay updated in the Facebook page.... MIKE🙏😊 facebook.com/Ukrainianmission/
Love it Mike. I am a Rail enthusiast, and Railway buff as you say, so this video really appeals to me. Really inspired by all of the photographs you took. Love the one of the Public School. I must go out and look for, and try this for myself. You always seem to find a way to make something look brilliant in a photograph. I always wait eagerly for your next video. I love em. Excellent work, great teaching. Please keep it up. See you in Mudeford very soon. I'm really looking forward to that. Rob.
Thanks diane. Like many places in rural England there's not much in the way of public transport. I think you can cycle the old track bad from Blandford. Link to G maps below. maybe you can find a way. The tea shop's superb by the way.. ... MIKE🙏😊 goo.gl/maps/56jVAUgQJfPJQMCk9
You have created another great tutorial, Mike. I love the way you add additional information on where you visit and this time you put a cherry on the top. Well done. Cheers from the land Down Under!
You can do it!. Think through the 3 things that cause a soft image and then check them each time you shoot. Clean lens - control focus to the point you want it - check shutter speed against focal length. I can help you with these and many more things such as where to focus, depth of field control and a host of other good stuff in my Masterclass online course. If you'd like me to help, please check it out.. ... MIKE🙏😊 www.photographycourses.biz/courses/photography-masterclass
Hey Mike, awesome video again and was so interesting about the train station. Great shots too. Would like to see you make a video of the Poole bike night when they start up again. Went there a few times in the past. Now to get my bike through the mot so I can get out with the camera. Keep the biker videos going Mike. Cheers
blooming brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed this latest video, so entertaining as well as educational, with a name like mine I just had to like the railway station !!
Fantastic ride as usual Mike. I love Land Rovers, (I own and drive two), and trains. We have heritage steam engines here in Quorn, taken many photos of them out in the pass on the tourist trip. So loved all that at the heritage station. Very familiar territory. Love the concept of just going for a ride and see what you find to photograph. Hope the Ukraine trip is/was going well. Look forward to the next instalment.
Thanks Lisa. Glad you like the vid and are a 'Landy' girl. Ukraine project continues and is growing. If you're following our progress on Facebook you'll know the amazing people we've met, the generosity of everyone and how the ampunt of help and love is vastly exceeding our expectations ...

@@MikeBrowne I'm banned from FB so I can only see a bit. I watched the vid from the 16 March, you had me in tears. I so wish I could help, financially or physically. You and your friends are the best of humanity.
Don't have much interest in bikes so the biking video part holds no interest to me. However, both my brothers were bikers so I understand the appeal that it has to lots of folks. However, it is clear that bike or without bike you remain an insightful photographer. More importantly one that is still having fun and is still enthusiastic about it and enjoys it. All of that shows through and makes the biker photographer series interesting even to none bikers! Thanks.
I'm lucky just up the road from me we have Blaenavon big pit and Blaenavon Steam Railway we call the mist Dragons Breath its great to look down on it as it follows the river in the valley
Mike, great information on what you can find with a little road trip into the country, I do just that quite regularly. However, the interview at the end was epic! I love old trains and the history that is wrapped around them. I'd volunteer in an instant, but commuting from Canada, is not very realistic is it. I wish the volunteers of the NDR the very best in their efforts.
Thank you David. Yesterday we spent the remaining £6500 in donations on medical supplies sourced in Germany and supplied direct to the refugee centre on the Ukraine border. Paul and I are planning a return trip ... MIKE🙏😊
Mike, would you ever 'fake' a photo by adding a shaft of light or changing the sky for another sky image on editing software. Like with your first photo you wanted a shaft of light on the house, but it wasn't happening that time. Also if you took a photo with a rubbish sky, like a clear sunny day as there. I'm the same, I like some clouds, not a clear sky. But would you ever consider changing a sky in post to make it look better and more sellable. I'd love to know your thoughts on doing that please. 🙂
Unless you're a world class retoucher (which I'm not) Trying to alter light in an image will look fake and horrible. I'm not much into retouching and only do the minimum. If it was a client brief to shoot that place in a shaft of light through clouds, I'd explain it could take weeks to achieve, cost a fortune in my time waiting for weather to change. Or I'd put them in contact with someone who can retouch appropriately and charge them accordingly. I never shoot pictures hoping to sell them by the way. Hope that helped ... MIKE🙏😊
Fantastic as always, motorcycling, photography and now trains, your videos are bordering on pornography, if you were to add aeroplanes to this trio then I would have to go and change my boxers 🤣I love it, it’s a blokes dream
Haven’t watched Mike in quite some time. Saw this one in my my suggestions. What’s Mike shooting on now days? Still a Nikon guy? Also what GoPros are those btw?
Hey Mike. Just loved this tutorial too. I have a general confusion while using the wide lens for a large scene but with a tiny or a distant subject , what should be the focal point and what is a suitable focal length to get the entire scene nice and clear?
Thanks Sonia. Hmm that's quite a big question because it depends on how you want your image to look. Focal point depends on how far away from the subject you are and how much front to back sharpness (depth of field) you want. If everything in the scene is beyond what's called the infinity point of the lens being used, it doesn't matter where you focus because everything will be sharp at any aperture. I know, sounds like a brain fry. Photography is like a row of dominos. You adjust one thing for creative reasons and that has a knock on effect on other settings. 1st step is to fully understand what each thing does - and why, so you can arrange them. That's what my online Masterclass In Photography course does, one step at a time, lots of real workld examples where you can see me do it, explain settings and why. There are even lessons about where to focus. Please check out the link below... MIKE🙏😊 www.photographycourses.biz/courses/photography-masterclass
I always use evaluative metering to get a starting point then adjust as needed to get the exposure that gives me the brightness I want. Histogram is my go to exposure indicator because light meters try to make the tone mid grey - and I might not want it to be mid grey. Please take a look at my online course 'Masterclass In Photography' because i know it will help you with mysteries such as arguing with the light meter, using light, and much more. It costs less than a cheap used lens, the information is yours forever and is 100% refund guaranteed so you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain... MB www.photographycourses.biz/masterclass
@@MikeBrowne thanks Mike being from down under it's nice seeing all these places, so i had a look on google maps which then gave me an idea of the direction you were heading
I hate the phrase "rule of thirds". Photography has no rules or regulations, do whatever YOU want to get the shot YOU like. Things like the "rule of thirds" and "correct exposure" are guidelines and ways to help you but they are not rules at all so don't go out of your way to stick to them if you believe there is another or a better way
@Mike Browne I enjoy your videos, they're very real and genuine, I can't say I've learned a tone from them as I've been a photographer for years but I've definitely picked up some ideas and tips and I just watch your videos as they're entertaining! Especially the biking
