I love this, very relaxing and informative. Thanks both.

Very interesting. Thank you. I have been photographing for decades and there was still a lot of new information and good points. The guy on the left also had the skill to explaing things very well

The ‘Rock and Sand’ image is presented upside down! Perspective is all wrong! That’s why, as the speaker says ‘Causes some uneasiness when view this photograph!’! Just saying! Back in the early 90s I took and presented similar image but of a Coke Cola can on frozen lake, but submitted for a competition upside down - an exhibition winner! A weird perspective that questions the viewer! Back in the day (late 80s & early 90s) there was nothing or no such thing as ‘Negative or Positive’ space! You tried achieve a ‘Balance in the Image by Placement of Objects within the Frame’! Today … ‘new gen’ professional photographers are too busy re-inventing the wheel and compartmentalising composition elements and giving it a ‘new names’ - by doing so, they feel important or leaders in the world of modern photography in the 21st Century! Basically, it’s all nonsense talk! However ….. This is an excellent talk and superb images & inspirational ideas - more than I can say about couple of other people’s (‘Look at Me’) presentations in this series!

Those pictures are amazing no photo shop in them truely amazing such a significant impact on us locals and true hero and mentor for us all😊

Nice video just got a copy, going to get the 6 books of my heroes of tasmania And that is ...... Olegas Truchanas Gustav wiendorfer Peter donbrovski Jack thwaites Denny king Simon cubert Love from Hobart 👍

Phenomenal images and insightful provoking commentary. Totally enjoyable experience!

great!

Yes, the original photographs tended to be very warm (combination of Fuji emulsions and warming filters) and dark (Dombrovskis liked saturated colour).

I knew Peter. He started off with 35mm film cameras (like Olegas Truchanas), then moved to two-and-a-quarter square for his first book, and then for the rest of his career used a Linhof Technica, almost always with Fuji sheet film, which he liked for its warm tones compared to Kodak emulsions. He was a lovely, softly-spoken man and he died far too young. He never liked the streak effect in slow-shutter photographs of water and, from that point of view, would have loved today's digital cameras. As far as I remember, Peter only ever used very slight warming filters (81A, 81B, etc). Also, you haven't mentioned Eliot Porter, a great influence.

Great chat here... just goes to show you how commission work and personal work is so so different, both with approach and how that shows in the completed works. Different yes, but i would say not up to Joe's high standard... and as he mentioned, composition wasnt the main focus here. Maybe if the landscape was as it was when designed, then composition may of been more important.. i dont know? The structure of images are different to Joes usual works, and things like the edges of the frame maybe not be as considered as they would be? Interesting point though.. they commissioned Joe for this because of his style.. so it must be a personal challenge to have a brief that needs to show the designers original vision (hard due to change) and at the same time, not to shoot for yourself... even though im sure, the client may of been perfectly happy with whatever images they got :)

Great talk.. but im certainly not from any reptile

wonderful talk, but 90% cold wet and inhospitable scenes, It's a cold day in England, would love more warm climate photos! Why are all professional photographers only happy in a woolly hat and bad weather?

I was there a few weeks ago to rekindle my photography after a very long break... i chose NOT to go to this tree deliberately lol Stunning area.

So beautiful they are💜

I like the first image... im surprised Joe didnt stager 2 different grads to soften that lower part where it meets the land. The last image is lovely... but i dont like the creep of the lower right corner of a bit of tree... tiny issue... just something that my eye immediately went to. Also.. maybe cool the top part a bit so that it recedes a little.. not sure if the fg needs warming up to bring that forward.. cant really tell on youtube :)

All light is definitely good... it comes before composition and subject for me all the time... flat light, dramatic light, directional light, blue hour, diffused light... no matter what it is... it gives the right subject and composition what it needs.. we just have to find it.

This is what I love with my photography... getting out and about and enjoying the outdoors.. photography is a passion dont get me wrong, but its more about being out and the process than really the images.

Great vid... looking at this now it seems so dated with the tech lol I wasn't that impressed when i had an a7r3.... now I have a fuji gfx... the quality of file, colour and texture is amazing... so little processing necessary.

Fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Jem's love for his subjects really comes through.

Its good to have some honesty :)

That was so interesting 😊

I'm really enjoying and benefiting from this talk. Thank you

Very enjoyable and informative, thanks guys.

Great works.

So glad Joe mentioned Peter Dombrovskis! I am Tasmanian born and I grew up looking at the Wilderness Calendar he put out every year until his untimely demise. He was a photographer who could shoot a grand landscape as well as an intimate composition and sometimes combine the two, all on medium format film. A great sharing of thoughts & perspectives between Tim, Alex & Joe!

Thanks Tim for moderating such a reflective in 2024! Never met but highly appreciate!

Dear Joe, appreciate so much to have met and photographed with you back in 2019 in Cornwall. Heinrich from Germany

This is a super video, with not only the how, but the most importantly the why, with only 288 likes.

Interesting podcast. Is it de rigeur to have a messy hairstyle in order to be a successful landscape photographer ? 🙂

Oh really enjoyed this! Joe hits a big one with this idea to be original! Images become contrived and dare I say obviously trying to grab attention. Also bang on with the shoot local! So much in this short video from all of you that hits the nail on the head. Stay on the bloody bus! 😁👍 keep the chat flowing, love them. Big thanks Lizzie for many moments of inspiration.

Thanks for an interesting discussion! I was interested in the responses to the question about sexual differences - I believe that there is some evidence that men and women perceive colour slightly differently. I have looked to see how this affects photographic aesthetic preferences but have not found much. If you could find someone who knows more I think it would be very interesting magazine topic?

Quite an eye-opener. Many thanks.

Cheers guys, not enough of this quality of content on KZbin with the depth of knowledge around landscape photography right here, look forward to similar in the future.

Clicked the link expecting to see Joe Cornish the comedian/filmmaker, but luckily I'm also a landscape photographer! 🤣

awesome video, thank you very much

Thank you Tim, Lizzie & Joe and the last comments on imperfections and mood were certainly worth waiting for. The lovely thing is you learn something new every day and it makes you wish you had heard it 30 years ago.I look forward to further interviews.

Good to see Tim and Joe again, looking forward to another question episode.

I should add that I have been to Norway twice, so I am a hypocrite!

A great podcast, many thanks. I would like to point out that whales are hunted in Norway too, and they are a rich country with no rel need to do it.

It's wonderful to listen to such a thoughtful examination of the art of landscape photography. There are a lot of great landscape photographers, but very few have the ability to string together sentences as thoughtful, coherent, and insightful as those of Alex and Joe. Thanks for sharing.

Another success. Ms. Shepherd was great and Mr. Cornish's x axis/y axis bit was music to the ears of this near field photographer!
