This video, like all your other videos, cover areas I struggle with so it’s obvious you’ve walked the path I am currently on 😅. I do some landscapes, fireworks and birding and I’ve gained a wealth of information from you. Again, much obliged for you taking the time to do this. I hopefully can go on one of your tours in 2025! Keep up the good work. We appreciate it!

  • I primarily photograph small birds and my biggest mistake when I was a beginner was shooting too tight, my only goal was to fill the frame with the subject as much as possible. There is a middleground, if the subject is too small it feels like i'm photographing a tree rather than a bird, if the subject is too large it may as well been taken in an aviary. This is where small birds are difficult because it's basically telephoto marco photography, where larger subjects like raptors you can naturally shoot wider while still having a good subject size.

  • Hey, long time viewer here. Just got an idea, what if you found a platform for your subscribers to share their photos for others to look at and you would then maybe use some of those pictures as good and bad examples of what to do and what not to? There is a chance that people do mistakes you wouldn't think of so it could be beneficial. Thank you for your videos

  • One of the things I learned as doing landscape photography for a few years now, is sometimes you don't need a clear subject. The whole photo or "picture" as it were, creates the scene, especially with editing techniques that creates the feel you want. This is especially apparent in some street photography, where you want to convey a certain juxtaposition between two or more parts of the photo by using off angles, unique lighting and different placement of elements in the frame. I do agree, if the photo becomes to busy, then it's hard for the observer of the photo to know what the story is. It's a fairly fine line, but it's fun to cross that line and see what you can come up with.

    • 👍 The lighthouse scene at 3:21 IMHO is the better of the two examples ... collectively all the parts together work better than trying to focus on one element

    • Foreground framing, even if just a few fronds or shadowed leaves, rocks, trail, etc around the edges adds enough depth so to place the scene so it doesn't look agoraphobic. Need something to relate the viewer to the scene. That's why Grand Canyon vistas often fall short of actual majesty.

  • I am a compositional photographer, so I do these things without having to think about it. I can make instant compositions out of almost anything. Even my grab-shots seem to naturally balance. My one downfall was my horizons...frequently they were off-kilter just a degree and always had to be corrected in the darkroom! I thank the universe for digital cameras! All these skill tips are great advice. Thank you!

  • I had a photo rejected from a model railroad magazine because it showed “too little train” 😅. The editor instead picked photos were the train filled the frame 😅. But then I got to print the photo of the train in its natural habitat, with a nice blurry bridge and empty track ahead in the foreground, and showcase it at a train show instead 😊

  • I think it’s less laziness causing not to move to get a better background or removing distractions from your image. For me, more often than not it’s more about recognising it when on location. There are some many things to look for at the same time, from technical things like getting the right focus, a good exposure etc., and at the same time all the distractions around you.

  • A lesson learned from watching an old movie - 8mm - from my in-laws' wedding. The photographer captured people dancing but only centered their heads and shoulders in the frame. All we see is people bobbing up and down with ceiling above. The interesting footwork of the dance is lost forever. Seems the same could apply to still photography. Good composition is a gift to future viewers.

  • Last tuesday I was out photographying flocks of cranes. I kinda like to do all kinds of photography but mainly lifestyle (non-set snapshots), hence I do not have lenses larger than 80mm equivalent. After hours of suffering to actually see the cranes with my trusty 50mm I decided to use the clouds and the sunset as main subjects, with the birds being presented as tiny little silhouettes. I think that'd do it for the homework. At that point, I am very grateful for your videos, for the sake of leading me into wildlife and landscape photography. Live long and never stop! (pretty pleaseeee)

  • Thank you for showing comparisons and "mistakes" in your own work! It's so easy for someone to say "Here's what a good composition is" and leave it there. But for me, the comparison between a successful composition and a less successful composition, especially using the same photo/scenario, is where the connection is made. You have to see the mistakes too so you can recognize them in your own work! Thank you for putting so much thought into your videos. Cheers!

  • Thank you for a composition lesson that goes beyond the rule of thirds and provides reasons and how to’s for breaking the boundaries of the rule of thirds.

  • Composition issues aside, I rather like the image at 3:39. It grabs my attention, makes me want to study it. Captures the sheer power of those waves, the might of the sea. There's beauty in that chaos.

  • I recently came back from an air show. I tried to use a lot of these tips here..I found not completely zooming in on the planes enabled the condesation trails and interesting sky to add a lot more to a lot of shots. The sky was fantastic that day, so I tried to include it as much as possible. I was extremely pleased with the results! Thanks!

  • Composition, especially with complementary subjects (e.g. green traffic with blurred car) makes you look differently to a lot of things. Devil is in the detail. Again great video that gets the mind rolling.

  • Thank you, I finally understand I don't have to use all the 500mm in my lens. 😅 Last week I decided to edit some bird photos I took in a trip to Colombia, I thought they where really bad, but once editing them I realized that the ones where the subject was not in the center of the frame or where not all the way in, looked really nice. This video gives me a clearer explanation of why is this: I need to work on my composition.
