Hey bro, you should break all of these up into shorts. You've already done the work now just break it up and draw more attention to your channel. This was a great video.
great idea man thanks 🙏 have a great week
Nate, I have been a professional photographer for over 50 years.,I have learned so much from watching this video!👏👏👏
Very happy to hear that thanks for watching!
This really is the ONLY video someone needs to watch to understand the different composition 'rules' and theories. Each composition technique is clearly explained and demonstrated by sample images. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video Nate. I will be sharing it with ALL my fellow photographers. 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
Wow, thank you! Thanks for watching
I agree, I have been watching quite a lot on composition recently and a most of them were very technical (I had my notebook ready but ended up not writing anything). I am just a regular person with a phone camera and a little compact zoom camera who just wants to take better holiday/landscape and family photos. THIS video is exactly what I was looking for. I will rewatch and keep this one.
Yah queen
Absolutely! 💯 THEE BEST video on KZhead re: photographic compositions. I'm relatively new to photography, and I appreciate this content SO much. Thank you for this and stay safe!!!
This is the best composition summary what I've ever seen. Thanks a lot Nate!
Happy to hear that 📸! Thanks for watching
I agree. Fantastic video
The best informative video I’ve ever watched in my life . Thank you sir for the hard work
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful 📸
Thanks everyone for watching and all the kind comments. This was one of the first videos I created and I kept putting off this video but one day I decided to stop procrastinating and just record it. Now it's my most popular video and reading all the comments I didn't know it would provide value to so many! Just a gentle reminder, if there's something you've been putting off photography or non-photography related, remember that the only way to see what's possible is to take that first step and 'just do it.' You never know where it might lead.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, NATE! Curious: Do you shoot mostly in Manual or Aperture modes? Also, do you usually shoot in RAW or JPEG format? Thanks in Advance!
Thanks! I shoot in Manual mode which I always recommend so you can manually control your exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, and ISO). I also shoot in RAW for these reasons → www.imaginated.com/blog/reasons-to-shoot-raw/@@hurleygreen927
This is the best presentation on compositions i have ever seen on youTube. I have taken notes of all 30 even of the ones I knew earlier. Thanks very much. You are a great teacher.

What a great video! I am an amateur photographer and this is a great summary. I will use your videos as a guide to help me to understand more about photo composition. I can say some of these rules I can see I already do without even thinking, but learning them will for sure improve my creativity and the quality of my photos! Thanks :)
Awesome, glad it was helpful!

Best video about composition! Thank you!
Thanks Juan!
thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great and Comprehensive , direct to the point, thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Great overview of a topic that is often reduced to ‘use the rule of thirds’. Seeing so many methods together like this reminds me what a mysterious an art photography is. Whilst you are ultimately moving some dials and pushing a button, the way it is all composed is the source of the magic. I run a photography club at my school and my students really need too be aware of this. Aware of it so that it informs how they compose through the viewfinder and experiment with different angles. The theory thereby becomes a source of art. I have to say that watching this was a really great use of 30 off minutes.
thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful to your photography club as well!
great tips!!
Best collection ever. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Extremely helpful video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Terrific presentation! Some of these I've been using, without really understanding why they work so well. Now I've got a better understanding.
Excellent!
This was really professional. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching Ros!
Nate, I really appreciate your thoughts on this subject, the value of which is underestimated. The consolidation of information, with your own explanation is very informative. To add to the body of information, which I am trying to consolidate in my own mind is a concept call harmonic armature: this is easily found on the internet and one source the harmonic amateur and photography.
Thank you! I might have a video on harmonic armature 📸📸
Great video, encapsulated entire photography

The only detailed video I can finally understand. Thank you. But I need more. I am a beginner in using a camera and taking pictures and everything for me is just a mess.
Great to hear! i will be releasing new beginner tutorial videos
After seeing the video mit so many and different tricks I had the impression, that you take nearly every picture and you will find at least one composition tip, for which the foto follows the tip 😃.
that could happen!
Golden Triangels: Right now I've created an overlay of guidelines for Capture One based on the Golden Triangles. Thank you very much for this.
Great idea Thomas, thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for details of compositions Most of the photos are of Landscape. I will be happy to know camera setting Prakash Jokhe India
I really like how youre reading this. It makes me feel like I am in school. Lol. Even though it is a bit monotonous I am used to it so it helps me learn. Sorry if that sounds like a backhanded compliment.
Thanks, I need to get better at memorizing it, still a bit nervous in front of the camera. Thanks for watching!
Thank you..............
