Very good points, nice video!
Thanks for the motivational points!
You've got some pretty photos this year, congrats! If possible, it'd be very helpful to put the location, focal length and shutter speed on the photo you're demonstrating.
Another great one. Thanks!
The neutral tone tip is definitely something I'm going lean into for the next few months. Such great advice!
