Could have done with the camera positioned above your hands for this one in particular, Mel.
Yes you are probably right! Difficult to do alone though. Also I don’t want to get into the same rut as many of those teachers online – most of them have a camera perpetually above their heads so all you can see is their hands. I’m not giving lessons just a few tips so I want to speak to the camera directly.
