500th Video

[mymoosejaw]

Well that was very nice to say the least. You could sell those you know. The one place I go for coffee sold a bunch for $20 each and they where not as good as yours. It was the owners kid that made it... I do all my printing at Walmart by the way.

[fehquig]

Mine was done by Vista Print. I had ten of them made. I have one left. I ended up giving away the rest. After seeing your and Chris' videos, I remembered making this one some time ago...

[bugsinrug]

Lovely! Thanks for this! hugs, Chris

[fehquig]

You're welcome!

[novmoon]

very nice, oooo I love July very nice, I know what you mean about working all night

[fehquig]

July is one of the quieter ones. It's relaxing...

[popebenadict16]

how about a drinking contest.cool pics

[fehquig]

Didn't somebody do that already?

[cindyjo57]

How ever do you have time with your girlfriend with always making videos. She must be really patient. And must love you a lot?

from an anonymous commenter.

[fehquig]

I'm convinced that she loves me more than i love myself...

[cindyjo57]

Now that is a lot tehe.

[pinklantana]

The calendar turned out lovely, a great idea! Congrats on 500 vids, that's alotta YT! :)

[fehquig]

Some would argue it's too much! :)

[BeardyRebel]

MANY CONGRATS Andy on your 500th video. Man, that is some figure! Thanx so much for ALL the amazing footage you've shared with us. It is much appreciated by all who view your channel.

As for a contest, how about asking five questions relating to your videos. The first (however many) to send you a PM with all 5 correct answers gets a calendar? That will also show who's been paying attention! ... LOL

[fehquig]

I made it a lot easier than that. The first commenter who said he should have one got one. I think I'm just too lazy to make up contests. Kev, I have videos on YouTube that I totally forgot about already, and I know you'd even beat ME in any fehquig video trivia contest. LOL

By the way, there are still a few hours of footage that I haven't done anything with including some camping stuff from back in September, but I'll get to it someday...

Thanks again for your continuing kind support!

[OhCurt]

The photos are gorgeous, Andy. Man, look at those colors!

BTW, I'm disappointed at the lack of monkeys here. But I understand you needing to adhere to that agreement.

*Congrats on the 500th video*

[fehquig]

I actually did include monkeys in one or two of my Mexico videos last year. My next video may even include one! The colors turned out better than I thought they would on a few of them. Unfortunately, the negatives from the oldest ones already started to fade, so they look a little darker than they should...

[Marihani]

The sun has such wonderful colors when it isn't so bright! You might want to travel north in summer to somewhere with midnight sun - amazing light quality!

I had a kind of lottery once. I asked everyone to give me a number, then I added all the numbers together and divided by how many gave a number and then counted down the list (if too high, I would start from the top again) until I got to the n-th person that responded. That way, everyone affected the outcome and it was totally fair.

[fehquig]

I'd like to head up to the Yukon agian one of these years. My last trip in that direction was in 1997. The Lac Carmen photos

were taken in Northern Quebec. Stunning lighting! I decided to just give some calendars away to family and save a few for 888...

[xjasongarciax]

That was gorgeous! You take beautiful pictures!

I think the 13th commenter of this video should automatically get one no matter what! :o)

[fehquig]

I think you hit a very lucky number...

[KimOsh72]

btw, where is your new lady friend?  LMAO

cheers to 500 more videos!

[fehquig]

LOL June East should be hitting Kenya right about now on safari. She will most likely come back spontaneously after a long slow night in the taxi and I'll come home in the morning with an idea, screaming Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh! Where's my

wig? Where's my camera?

[KimOsh72]

VERY NICE! Those are beautiful photos :D

congrats on the 500 videos.

[fehquig]

Thanks, Kim! I never thought I'd make more than about ten when I started on YouTube, but some creative demon grabs me and forces me to make videos LOL. I'm glad you like my little snapshots...

[mymoosejaw]

That does look nice.

[fehquig]

Thanks! The same pictures are in an earlier video response

entitled something like Re: Sunrise Sundown...

[GreatGig1]

Wow! Beautiful photos, Andy!  I'll be waiting for the contest!!! :-) 500 videos!! Congrats! Onward to the next 500!!! I think it will take me YEARS to get that many videos posted...lol

[fehquig]

I'm not much good when it comes to contests. I may just give some calendars away when I get to 888...

It may take a year and a bit to get the next 500 up. I just keep taking so much good footage that it would be a waste to not use it on something...

[TheraminTrees]

Exquisite shots — incredible reflections off the water, and you've really caught those colours — it's always deflating when you shoot those fiery sunsets and the results come through all washed out. Bravo Mr Fehquig! And not a monkey in sight!! ;8)

[fehquig]

I would bracket my exposures. A whole roll of 36 would sometimes go into getting that one shot, while on rare occasions I'd have one frame left while the sun was going down and it would work out! Things are much easier now that I've gone digital. I'm useless when it comes to catching monkeys. They are so elusive that it's been more than a year since I've even SEEN one!

[oneiblind30]

HAPPY 500 ANDY! Lovein' ya!

[fehquig]

Thanks, Huey! Love ya right back!

[KurtGnu]

Well done.. I'm getting there too.. soon.. :)

[fehquig]

I've been watching your channel lately, and does it EVER move!

I think the second 500 will take a little longer than the first...

[KurtGnu]

I've slowed down a bit lately, admittedly.. but I'm not a well man, you see.. and at the moment I've got precious little done.. :) I got a video or 2 ready to post, and may do one of them tomorrow, I'm not sure.. :)

[fehquig]

I finished making eight or nine about 24 hours ago, and fell asleep while editing the ninth or tenth, but I was working on putting them together over the last week or so. They should be going up starting today...

[Furnifur]

How beautiful!! Great idea making a Calendar! May was absolutely gorgeous!! Seriously, August/September was amazing!!! Just beautiful. And yes I heard you, it is bad the shaky thing.

[fehquig]

Thank you, Furn! Nothing gets by you. I actually had a little drinkie going, but I forgot about it. I think I was shaky because I'd gone out for a smoke and it was cold outside :-)

[marquisdejolie]

Happy 500th!

[fehquig]

Thanks for being my mentor ;)

[TheTittySisters]

OMG..I take photo's of sunsets whenever i can (especially out on the river fishing) yours are amazing... Congrats on 500 video's... Barbie

[fehquig]

Thanks very much! Those photos were taken sometime over the last twenty years. I get a really good one now and again...

[vegetalordvegeta]

hope for 500 more!

[Furnifur]

I agree, here's to 500 more!!

[fehquig]

YouTube will go down for maintenance in about an hour. I won't be able to view my subscriptions or comment. That will give me an excuse to put the finishing touches on three or four that I've been playing with lately...

[fehquig]

I have a few that I'm working on right now...
