Having no local television/cable or any subscription entertainment, I spend a bit of time on Youtube... in regard to photography videos, Piximperfect is great for "What's new in Photoshop" with practical and detailed "how to's" and entertaining, too. Glyn Dewis has many good ideas about Photoshop and portraiture- I like his style. Recently I watched half a dozen videos about setting up a Z8 I'd had for a month and never got around to goofing with- yep, YouTube is full of conflicting information, differing ideas and many preferences about personalizing one's camera.
This week, I'm delving into ICM, "Intentional Camera Movement" and have watched... I dunno, maybe sixty-five or seventy videos on the subject; Eva Polak being the most prolific with good ideas and examples- particularly her ocean/beach shots- along with discussion of impressionist painters (which became a YT side trip) and, yes, impressionist photographers (for a brief intro: https://www.shootphilly.com/impressionist-photography-what-you-need-to-know/). This Impressionist business has my attention, so I'm shooting very little these days, but learning alot... which wouldn't be happening if not for Youtube.

Great photo, very aristocratic bird. A bit aloof. Love it.
William is cool... and has the typical barred owl hoot: "Who's turn to cook?" There's another owl loitering in the trees tonight... this may be William's night off... THANKS!! 2dawgs

Yep it was a shock. Maybe he's just a part time monk.
Confirmation of being a part time monk... Did he chimp his camera?
