We want more from the junior reviewer, please!
This show is the best thing not on TV.
Why hasnt a TV channel picked this up.
A winner and always professional
This may be your best show yet! I have loved the Calendar challenge and Xianna was awesome! I hope you are able continue to produce these high quality productions! Thanks for taking me along!
Pentax 17 would be a great fun camera but at $900 in Australia unlikely to find space in my bag
timecode 6:33, would a polariser have improved the image?
Love the segment on developing film. Thanks for that.
If your bracketing with a sensor that has a high dynamic range, do you increase the bracket interval? Like 2 stops for each shot vs 1 stop for each shot?
Another awesome video, keep up the great work!
Excellent show…and once again proving who the "real star" is….great job, Xiana!!!
What an absolutely fabulous segment by Xiana! Love the show always, but this just made my day. She is a natural! Really enjoyed hearing her perspective.
Outstanding content and delivery.
Oh my word Marcus, what a lovely little person you have raised, totally charming indeed
So I suppose the only question is who is she replacing ? Marcus !
I cannot find your podcast. I type photography online in the search both as one word and as two words and neither one of them bring it up. Do you have this problem with other viewers? I search for my podcast in Pandora.
Loved the Pentax 17 segment, ace new reporter. Well done
South Downs wins the best of in my opinion, which is just one opinion. Outside of landscapes, an image of Ruth should be included and can take top honors of best image. Great series, fun times, and now the thinking for the 2026 calendar should begin.
Loved the segment in New York. What a brilliant and entertaining review by Xiana. She is a real star!
Shame you weren't in Exmoor for the last shot, Broadsands beach is outside the moor, the Hangman hills in the distance are the start of the western side of the moor!
Great job Xiana! Your segment was informative and entertaining. You, and that other Mcadam person on the show, my film camera is coming off the shelf. I hope you enjoyed your time in NYC!
A great episode, Xiana is amazing, a natural host. Hope she loved it too.
Interesting about developing too, one day, when time allows, I will try. I think it will go full circle, as everything digital soon goes out of date. Something physical stands the test of time much better. Quality of images that my gt grandparents had is superb and I've still got them today, 100+ years on.
When you were at broadsands for the calendar shot, its about 5 miles from me 😃
Fantastic job on the challenge. It was a thoroughly enjoyable watch throughout. Incredible amount of time and effort has clearly gone into it, but not just the challenge, the planning and post production as well. How lucky are we to have such a beautiful and diverse landscape in the Britain?
Well done Xiana, far too cool for the Photography Online gang!
