    Funnily enough my first ever DSLR is going to be a 350D (bought last week)
    – it’s really great to see people taking incredible shots with old, run of
    the mill kind of kit!

    Mike’s visit to this gentleman is a testament to Mike humility. Everyone
    knows that Mike is a professional man, but this did not stop him to visit
    this gentleman and teach him the way of capturing that image. Mike You are
    wonderful. And inspiring.

    Excellent video and idea Mike. Tried it out myself and got some very
    pleasing results. I do find your videos great fun and informative. Myself,
    I teach photography and find your teaching style and pace excellent. I am
    not too proud to admit that in each episode I learn something.

    Hallo Mike
    Just found your channel and consider it one of the best for clarity.
    One question,I am using Palm oil but the bubbles disperse before they stop
    moving after a stir.
    What oil was used in this lesson?
    Thanks again.
