   I literally only got five minutes into the video listening to her throat
   gurgle. Its disgusting, she might have had something good to say but i
   nearly threw up twice. I hope in the future you fix the audio.

   Her photos are awesome but I found this video lacking in technical
   information.

   I got about 14 minutes into it – was hoping for a more technical
   presentation. I understand that it’s important to take care of oneself
   while working a busy music festival, but it just didn’t seem that it was
   going to get beyond the food and hydration aspect.

   omgosh… a pretty ordinary slideshow with no technical or preparation
   information, which is atypical of other B&H videos that are informative and
   showcase unique and stellar images. Most of her pictures can be described
   as snapshots that are devoid of any connectivity between the musicians and
   the camera, especially the portrait ones (no gestures or expressions,
   they’re just “there”). Had she been using an iPhone: quality-wise, DSLR
   would be better; artistically tho, one couldnt tell the difference. I’m
   really not trying to be mean, she has great potential and a firm foot in
   the door, but her pics would be hardcore if she took shots that weren’t the
   typical shots from eye-level, and such.

   Title says “HOW” to photograph, not these are the pictures I took.
   Useless. Dont really care what she took, I wanted to know HOW she took
   them. Settings, tech specs. Dark atmosphere, did she use flash, what kind,
   where was it.

   I ca attest that if I don’t eat or drink plenty of water I WILL turn into
   Mr. Hyde. LOL Cranky as hell. At 12:40 Us guitarist need love too. LOL
   I’m trying to choose between a Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR & a Nikon 70-200 f4 VR.
   I want to be able to get good shots at indoor concerts using a Nikon D810,
   which lens would be better? Thanks.

   I could only watch 12mins of this clip, it’s like watching an Aunt showing
   off their slides from their holiday. It would be very helpful for
   photographers if she spoke about her equipment, what kind of settings she
   uses and stuff that’s relevant to photography. Would luv to know what her
   process is for photography and getting the picture, not just see the actual
   picture.

   I am not hearing any throat gurgle, but my first thought upon reading the
   comments was, “sheesh, a little harsh aren’t we?”. Her voice does not
   seem unpleasant. Maybe B&H edited the sound before I heard it, but sheesh.

   I would have liked some more technical information. How does one get a
   photographers pass to a concert? What lens(es) does she favor, since it
   sounds like this is quite a challenging situation? (I often take photos and
   video for my son and the various musicians he has performed with so I get
   that a little bit.) How does she deal with the differing lighting? How does
   she build that trust with talent, once they know she is shooting them? Are
   there any tips and tricks for that?

    Sorry, I couldn’t watch the whole video. Didn’t really learn anything.
    I’m also a concert photographer but I couldn’t recommend this video to a
    beginner

    Stop whining! It’s free content take what you can from it and move on.
    Bashing her speaking style makes you sound like pretentious asses.
