    Your videos are so incredibly entertaining to watch!!!

    As I tend to say "The [Photographer/technician/whatever] is only as good as his equipment and the equipment is only as good as the [Whatever] that uses it" You can be the greatest photographer in the world, your shots will always look like garbage when using a digital camera from 1998 and you can be the greatest idiot in the world using an 8000€ camera and still produce garbage looking images.

    When it comes to equipment people need to stop saying that it doesn't matter, it does, but it should always reflect your current knowledge. Equip gear appropriate to your level, just like in a RPG.

    AGAIN DE-CAFFE PLEASE SO SLOW DOWN THE AUDIO TRACK…and my book collection is not boring about 1500+ in Photography books.

  4. L CY says

    Hey #Kai W – LOL Re rule of thirds. I am a professional phorogapher and am lucky enough to exhibit internationally, and do work with FUJIFILM and Hasselblad as well as having work published in Nat Geo.

    I got critiqued by the Royal Photographic Society of London back in 2018 and they didnt like my work and comp because I could have used rule of thirds better. I dont mind that they didnt like my stuff, but rule of thirds feedback. #WTFlip! Really!? I consequently gave them feedback on their feedback….. didnt get a response. Funny that! LOL

    Love your stuff mate

    Check out my latest photoshoot vlog people‼️

    Everything shot on the A7iii, leave me some feedback let me know what I can do better for my next video. Appreciate you🙏🏼

  7. Mila D says

    "Was that a singing cat?"

  8. Cameron Varley says

    I 100% agree about the equipment being a factor. I had a t3 and loved the photos, "upgraded" to a d3300 and hated the photos I was taking, eventually got a a6300 and loved my photos again. Now I shoot with a a7ii lol.

  9. MrVipitis says

    We gonna look at them…. Means Kai is commenting on them.

    Good that the tips are like on the screen fr half a second so I have to pause to read thwm

  10. Avardenth says

    My god! your skitches are awesome.

  11. IVE595 says

    Great to watch thank you. Oh and I’m not a fan of rules in any part of life, so definitely not going to follow them for photography.

  12. Alvin Lipscomb says

    If someone uses these words: Never or don't in photography just run away or ask them Why what is the reason. A real detail explanation is what you want most of the time they have no clue!
    They seem to not know that all those Don't and or Nevers Have been done in the past by many different Famous Professional Photographers from the past.
    Rule of Thirds!!! Have you ever heard Rules were meant to be broken!!!
    Think of Rule of Thirds as a Recommendation!

  13. DetailScaleView says

    Haha, thank you for funny vid and tips)))

  14. eggertrpet says

    the singing cat was P Smoov from Mad Rad.. good party music

  15. Vinc Tay says

    "Learn the rules to break em" alright man

  16. Dante Flores says

    Am I watching Digital Rev?

  17. Jonathan William Fay says

    Gear doses really matter!!!!
    Any camera if you’re not a pro???
    But 12” sounds like a real pro cut tool for the job, would need some big training lessons to use that one and a lot of trying it out to get good a using it on the job boss…

  18. Boedi Wiyarno says

    Don't forget to bring battery too

  19. schmudge says

    #1 use a polarizing lens when possible

  20. Jonathen Harty says

    New Speedmaster Kai?

  21. fanjapanischermusik says

    i don't give a crap about rules, i can't remember them anyway. i just shoot and hope for the best.

  22. Kenneth Rodriguez says

    Nice tips. Thanks for this

  23. Meld says

    There's something surreal about hearing a non-nasal British accent coming from an Azn. I must be in the Twilight Zone. Someone pinch me.

  24. BDPhotog67 says

    HALF the reason a shot is even interesting is simply because it's foreign to the viewer…The model/the landscape/the city street…If Kai was based in my town, I highly doubt I'd find his stuff as interesting…Problem I always have when looking at my own shots…And why I rarely LOOK at my own shots..I was there..I took the pics…So there is no interest anymore, at least not for a few more years perhaps

  25. Adam Relayson says

    "Oh no, not again." That made me giggle.

  26. agun17 says

    get a remote shutter button so you have more than 10 seconds to go onto your bed and spread your buttcheeks.

  27. M Lawrow says

    In my early years when I’ve delivered shitty photos at work my boss was just like: “That’s shit. Don’t show me shit. Do it again.” Then you start thinking. Nothing makes you learn more than figuring out a problem and thinking about how to fix it.

  28. Jone Master says

    When it is bright, look for shadows when it's dark to look for light😊

  29. RooR CHRISSIE says

    the shit they dont tell you take lots of photos and in there you'll find some good ones

  30. Temporal Quantum Relativity says

    When you learn the reason for the rules then you know how to bend them and even break them.

  31. tectorama says

    As far as the rule of thirds is concerned, I very often apply this when cropping in lightroom, not when I am
    composing taking the picture. My big tip for everyone is, take your ND filter and throw it away.

  32. Spencer Fitch says

    Man you get me excited about street photography again

  33. Mick Ryan says

    When I went to art college we were taught that the rule or thirds (and all the other rules) was a suggestion or a guide not a rule. The word rule referred to the lines drawn in the composition and not that you had to follow it.

  34. Erik Baekelant says

    Spot on

  35. Samuel Holmes says

    I like to call it the "suggestion of thirds."

  36. Kazi Mahmud says

    The biggest rule of photography……………

    Breaking the boundaries, breaking the rules, having the fun time of your life

  37. Kenji Tasaka says

    #3 almost made me spit my coffee up. Good job sir.

  38. Brian Perkins says

    9:00 The only tip we really need. Great video as always – CheerZ!

  39. jccjccjoanne says

    Well, for number 3, I guess it's true for rangefinder users… DSLR and mirrorless users, not so much. I can definitely see myself forgetting to take off the lens cap if I ever own a range finder.

  40. Up coming cloud rapper luca says

    Big fan Kai! I noticed the Nikon F in this video, any chance you could give Nikon's first SLR a review?

  41. Andrei Amodia Photography says

    I am really loving this video.. thank you

  42. Sumuk Shashidhar says

    That ghille suit was on point.

  43. James Gubbins says

    Learn the rules, then treat them as guidelines.

  44. Mel Harhar says

    "you're all alone." 😭

  45. Paulin Evil says

    "If you photos are not good enough, you're not close enough" "Shut up, I heard it enough."

  46. Trivial King says

    "Agh, overheating shakes head Sony… tut." x'D

  47. ab pho says

    Did you purposely add what looks like chromatic aberration to your text overlays and effects?

  48. francistphoto says

    Love the new haircut <3
