Thank you. It was a stunning morning for sure.

Did you put any gaps between the code and main number? Usually a section that is specific to a tel number will not recognise gaps so need to put all numbers together.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTraveltried everything

@@wedrivetheworld Strange. Maybe try contact their support.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel have done been waiting two weeks now absolutely hopeless no further forward

@@wedrivetheworld Can you email me a screenshot of the form as you fill it in? And then with the error message.

Yes, they will print panos and any other format. I have several panos up for sale there. However, the only downside is they limit the file size upload to about 30mb, so in many cases you need to reduce the size or add more compression if it's a huge file.

Thank you very much.

Go to site, then new site. Choose the design you want, click preview then click the big green button on the top right "choose this design" You can either publish now or customise if you want to make changes first. There is also a save for later option if you are customising and not ready to publish.

Hi. Everything is still rock solid and working brilliantly.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel Thank you for the quick response, Ian.

@@colingerard7863 No problem. I'm really loving it. It's a great head. I've also got a Benro tripod with a levelling head, which combined with the geared head is great for panos.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel That sounds like a good combination, Ian. I have recently returned to photography. However, the one thing that has not changed is my reply when asked what kind of photographer I am. I say that I am a happy photographer. I get the impression that you are the same. I look forward to having a stroll around your channel over the coming days.

Probably, but I'm not aware of any. However, Photobox use printers in the USA if you order from there I believe. When I make them for US clients it seems that way.

The L bracket doesn't cover the hooks for the strap, so you can connect a strap as usual.

Thank you.

I had it made by a designer friend.

They are one and the same. You can get a Fine Art America account for free and sell up to I think 30 photos, but you don't get the extras like your own pixels site. But a subscription is only US$30 per year.

@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel great. Thank you for the info. I just started using SmugMug. I've been watching your videos on website setup. I'm currently on PixieSet, but it was lacking a public gallery I can easily upload photos on

No, because the copyright will appear on the prints too. You can add a watermark after uploading, and you can also add a separate printmark if you want after.

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

Hi Kenneth. At the time of the video I was using the Canon 5D3, which is heavier than the R5 I now use.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel Thanks for the info. I'm currently shooting a Canon R and have been thinking about moving to the R5, but I can't justify the expense at this time. I'm sure the quality of the R5 is well justified by its cost, but I'm just not "there," yet. Thanks again.

@@kennethjonesphotography You can get the R5 quite a bit cheaper here: panamoz.com/gb/canon-mirrorless-camera-r5-body.html

You are welcome

If you want to see the effect in live view then after.

Thank you. Polarisers have more effect when the sun is at a right angle to the scene. If it's directly behind there will be no effect. Also, if you are on landscape mode the auto exposure is probably over compensating for the change in apparent light. Try using aperture priority and put the light meter on centre or spot to measure the light from a more focused source rather than evaluative mode.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel Thanks for the reply. I have been shooting aperture priority and I do understand the sun angle although I sometimes forget my orientation. My colors have improved since I posted the reply by adjusting the settings(contrast, saturation etc.) with the info button on the landscape mode. Much better. The polarizer is much more effective now.

@@browntrout611 Good to hear.

You are welcome. Glad you like the video. I don't really mind the QR plate, and aside from this geared head never had a problem with any Manfrotto tripod. The Benro does move a tiny bit when you push a tight filter in, but the movement is minimal compared to the Manfrotto, and doesn't affect the composition set as it seems to spring back. The most important thing is that it is solid so will not move in windy conditions. My concern about the flex in the Manfrotto was that it was so loose it would vibrate in windy conditions during long exposures. I've had the Benro on my tripod consistently ever since making this video and it's superb. Can't imagine ever being without it!

Thanks for the reply and info. I went with the Benro and your video helped allot. I find the same pros and cons with it as you do. Those clutches are really a poor design but do work. Other than the rubbish clutches, the head stays pretty still when set. The fine tuning is adequate. I wanted an Arca Swiss brand model but the prices are out of my budget as I’m not a pro. Otherwise that’s where I may have gone. It’s too bad there isn’t more manufacturers making these at a reasonable price. The Manfrotto people have got to get Arca Swiss designs in as I think they are losing plenty of sales due to their proprietary QR plates. Anyways, thanks again for doing this.

@@andyp7787 You are welcome. Glad the video helped. Yes the Benro one is much more stable. I find the fine tuning more than adequate for landscape photography. I never had a problem with the Manfrotto QR plates, when I was just using Manfrotto only. But it can be a problem if you are using another system alongside it. Just a pain having to switch plates, that is all.

Yes it does offer unlimited storage of JPEGs and a few other formats. For RAW, you can purchase an add on. Smugmug is pretty easy to use and setup. I have a number of tutorial videos you can watch. You can see them here: ruclips.net/p/PL0S8X5gszBvYg_LxlgvrccHAaCAzdJ0Bx

Thanks. Yes I've shot a few at those speeds too. Not so easy though to avoid camera shake because my L lens is very heavy. But agree, it does also give a more dynamic effect.

Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.

It is Slovenia, and yes it is very beautiful!

Wonderful! Have fun. I've been five times already.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel that is a good recommendation!

I saw bears each time too. It's a great setup he has.

Yes that's true. As I say, you just need to play around with all the other settings to get it all right.

You should find it down at the bottom left underneath appearance

You are welcome. Glad you found them useful.

Yes you can. Mine still fits on as normal.

@@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel ok, that’s great, I have the old Lee filters that give great results, but are a bit cumbersome to use, the magnetic filters looks like a great solution, only worry I have is about the magnets getting weaker by time and also that loosing a filter to the ground would if not break, pull a lot of dirt to the magnets!

@@gryphongryph I've had the K9 holder and magnetic polariser with it for several years now and the magnet is just as strong as when I got it. Also dropped it a few times, but it didn't pick up a lot of dirt.

Thank you

Thanks. That is not a geared head. It's my old Manfrotto three way head. I haven't tried K&F, no.

Thank you. So glad you found it useful.

Thank you. Glad you are finding it all easy to follow and useful.

Ha! I know what you mean. Some people go too fast!

Yes, as I showed later in the video, there is a tiny bit of movement but it's negligible and nowhere near as bad as the Manfrotto one. The main concern about the Manfrotto for me was that it would not be steady enough in windy conditions. The Benro has proven to be a rock in comparision.

Thanks. Glad you found it helpful!

If you do the direct selling through Woocommerce then yes you need to organise printing yourself. You can still use FAA to fulfill it, but need to go in through your own account, place the order and ship it directly to the customer. You could also choose another printer to fulfill the order for you. The other option is to make the Woocommerce product an affiliate product, then link it to the product page on your own personal FAA pixels site. Read my article for more links to places where you can sell and get prints made: blog.ianmiddletonphotography.com/2020/12/05/how-to-make-money-with-photography/

You are very welcome!

They really are, aren't they. I'm slowly replacing my other filters with Kase ones.

Yes that is one option. Or you can buy the special Manfrotto L bracket.
