  • My favourite image is the one with the narrow ridge running through the middle of the frame, it looks like two entirely separate scenes. Having watched quite a few of your videos recently, you've definitely sold me on getting a 100-400mm lens. So much potential for picking out "moments" in an environment. I'm looking forward to seeing part two! Related, I picked up your basic landscape tutorial, toolkit, and workflow courses and I just wanted to say thanks for the truly useful tools and insight. Going out on Friday night, I noticed an immediate improvement in many elements of my shooting and editing. Well worth the very meagre financial expense and I plan to invest in the more comprehensive ones in the near future. You're a great teacher, it's much appreciated.
