Buying new photography gear is always exciting, but sometimes it's not worthwhile. In this video I talk about what I've bought beside my cameras that gave me value for money, and improved me as a photographer.

    6. Girlfriend. Invest in a girlfriend who supports you and encourages you. Emily seems pretty good.

    The printer... printing your photos let’s you see them from reflected light rather than emanated light, which introduces the characteristics of the paper, such as whether it’s matte, high gloss, satin finish, pearlescent papers, etc. It’s also exciting to have made a real thing as opposed to a virtual thing. Digital images are great, printed photos are magical.

    The peak design capture clip: James: "I'd probably pay triple what I paid for it" me: DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS, THEIR GEAR IS EXPENSIVE ENOUGH ALREADY!!! 😂😂
  • The blue and orange lighting in the background of the last scene is extremely pleasing to the eye.

    this guy is actually really funny, so many of these kind o tutorials are boring but you made it really entertaining. Just subscribed!

    "You should print your images. It's a good idea. Don't know why, tho." lol subscribed

    Alternative to the back pack plate is a good strap. I personally have the peak design camera strap and it makes all the difference since I hate carrying my camera in a bag. My purpose of a bag is to carry my 2 lenses, few filters, sd cards, spare batteries, couple of lights, speed light, gorilla pod, notpad, and other little stuff in the smallest possible footprint possible for my run and gun 24/7 photography life.

    I just found you, enjoy you're sense of humor and your knowledge and the way you present it.
  • Man, this is one of the best videos I watched in a while. Just to much fun to watch ( first time on your channel ).
  • @MichaelTapel
    Your working space is a bit too dark, it makes the feeling like you’re living in a cold and dark place like the UK... oh wait
  • @PSaunders21
    Awesome video mate! I love my Monday mornings purely because of your content! Makes starting the week off even better!
  • I discovered you fun, informative and excellent vlog here while researching a move from full frame Nikon to the G9. Thanks for all the help with that for sure. Loving your dry wit and self deprecating humor, keep up the great work Mr. Popsys!

    James, i really enjoy you videos. i like that your videos got character (dont know if it makes sense) and that they are different from all those "cinematic B-roll" type of videos that have 120fps footage in them and that's all they have to offer. keep it up, mate!
  • Love the peak design clip, so much so I actually bought two of the things, one to live permanently on the bag, and other can attach to my belt. Means 1) I can clip it to me and keep both hands free when messing around with the bag without putting camera down, and 2) simply going for a wander without the bag but not having to remove the one off the bag.

    6:00 "But I love this".... This made me smile because it felt coming straight from the heart. Not that you usually sound otherwise...wait..yeah...ok I'll stop it here.

    Capture Clip just arrived and now sits on my hiking/climbing rucksack. I was forever looking for the perfect camera bag to carry camera, lenses, and all of the guff we take with us. But it also had to accommodate lunch, flask of hot coffee, extra layers, waterproofs, first aid kit, etc. Sometimes there are ropes, crampons, ice axes. The problem is that its a chore to remove rucksack and root around for camera equipment, so sometimes you keep going and wait for a better moment. I have really great rucksacks for climbing and the simple addition of a Capture Clip has turned them into great rucksacks for photography whilst climbing. Its a no brainer, it will change your life.

    I bought a dslr bag insert that fits in one of my hiking backpacks perfectly, finally gave me the photography backpack I was looking for.
