    Is that Anya Taylor-Joy? Looks like her. Perhaps that's why she is wearing the mask. Maybe she didn't want to get recognized.

    Tourist: Hey kid, when does it stop raining here in Scotland?
    Kid: Why are you asking me? I'm only 8.

    Hey I am looking out to buy a entry level DSLR
    I am confused with which one to buy either Nikon d3400 or Nikon d5300 they both cost around same 500$ but d3400 comes with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lens but d5300 comes with only 18-55mm kit lens
    So finally which one to buy?…🤔🤔

    Thank you for creating such helpful videos like this. Informative without being patronising. A pleasure to watch and learn.

    Hi Marc, I'm a little confused, you mention in the piece that your Nifty Fifty on a Canon crop sensor is equivalent to around 31mm, I have just purchased the Tamron 100 x 400mm telephoto and I'm under the impression on my Canon crop sensor the equifalent reach is 160 x 560mm, could you please help with my confusion.
    Regards,
    Shaun x

    street photoghraphy- in a sense of photographing random people, is something I never tried before. May be cause of the nature and culture of countries I been to or may be cause I felt it bit intrusive! But I liked your perspective on the subject and worth a try

    Well would you Adam and Eve it Marc – I myself was in Edinburgh for a day the first week in September! I missed you by a few days at most. Drat! Now wouldn't that have been weird … me seeing a chap taking pictures and realising that it was you! I think I might have dropped my camera in surprise!!! Took a clutch of pics myself … not quite up to your standard but I will put one or two which I think may have some merit onto the TSOP Facebook page in due course (I'm amazed at how many pics I have to bin at the mo!?). Curiously I was also using a prime 50 mm lens, but on a Canon crop frame camera – APS-C – and I was using manual mode throughout, with ISO mostly on auto. And yes, Edinburgh is a fabulous city (fab architecture) – especially the old quarter. Wish I'd seen your great tutorial vid before I had gotten there though! Much enjoyed.

    I agree catching a photo of someone taking a picture tells more of a story. As does shooting through the crowd. Great video!
