Hi Steve, please count me in for your live stream. I'm assuming 3:00PM means Eastern Standard Time (EST), but if I'm mistaken, kindly let me know.
I am central and see 2PM. Must be zone adjusted
Yup, 3:00PM eastern (sorry about that). It's cool that Charles says his shows 2:00PM - YT has it figured out and I didn't know they adjusted it for time zones. Still new to this

Spirits in your coffee is a thing in a few months... we'll just have a gunfire breakfast a little earlier

Hi Steve, I hope you will have this recorded for us to see later. I will be up on the Rocky Mountain front in Montana today with the camera. Wish you could all be here, it is a beautiful day.
Just so I'm not left out, how do we access the session?

Wow... the questions are streaming through!
Great session, Steve. (I didn't have my YT account set so I could join chat. Something to work on for the next time.)

So, what I really wanted to know was that just coffee in that cup... I bet it could have been filled with something different after that
LOL, tea actually. Honestly, those sessions aren't much different from the first day of any of my workshops, I'm used to it. I only wish people were more worried about technique than gear, but I get it. Technique doesn't cost $$ (although, it sure makes more of a difference than gear).So, what I really wanted to know was that just coffee in that cup...

Thanks Steve for doing this. Once again I’ve learned something new!

Nice job Steve! I was in and out of the house but I was able to watch most of the video. Thanks!

Thanks for posting the video. Some of my own questions were answered. Keep it going!
I haven't watched it yet. We were out photographing River Otters and Sandhill Cranes at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge in Indiana. I love gear as much as the next person but I do think gear only takes one so far. Pretty much any of the intermediated to pro level cameras over the last 8-10 years is capable of producing excellent images. Technique, how to get the most out of the equipment on hand, how to handle tricky exposures, commiserating over such things as temperature differential diffraction, backlighting, other tricky exposures, etc.
Hopefully the next one will be more technique than gear.
Looking forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee and watching the video.
About the only way I could do one that was technique only would be if we called it a technique only Q&A - and we'd probably still have a lot of gear questionsI haven't watched it yet.

Just the nature of the best I think.
Yep, you're probably right not to mention producing a "technique" presentation would be a lot of work on your part and I think most of us wouldn't want to be unreasonable in asking you to do something that is a lot of work. I have enjoyed the live chats so far and appreciate you taking the time to do it.About the only way I could do one that was technique only would be if we called it a technique only Q&A - and we'd probably still have a lot of gear questions

Enjoyed the video… especially the non-gear-specific bits
