#1 Thing Photographers Do That's Holding Them Back

[@TheOtherSamMallory]

What do you think? What's _your_ biggest challenge with photography?🤔

[@WHIPFLASH2]

Thank you for this. As someone who lives in a not so interesting area and gets in his own head if they’ll capture anything good enough, you bring up a lot of good points

I hope it's helpful! I'm slowly trying to figure out what _is_ interesting where I am at and it's no easy task... I'm sure you can find something intriguing where you are at👍

Another good one, I love your humor. I find forests and trees especially hard to capture. Seeing them in 3D is what makes them interesting, and the cameras depth of field just doesn’t work. Put everything into focus and they are boring, chose a shallow dof and you often don’t have a motif any more. But it’s a challenge and the images are nice, it’s just not for instagram. Thank you also for the motivation. You are down to earth enough to take it in, such a message by the hustle bros out there is usually just cringe ;)

Thanks for the huge compliment, and I am thrilled to hear it made you laugh! Also, a really interesting perspective on depth of field - I think you are articulating why I prefer the shallow depth of field better than I can, maybe even helping me understand why I like it 😂

Such a relative video. I'm currently working on my KZbin journey as well, I give myself a million reasons to not hit record, despite all the gear I've accumulated to start it.

It’s no easy stride, but I’m sure you’ll get better and better!

Good stuff. 4x5 aspect?

That 1930’s “Academy” aspect ratio has come full circle to now being the best ratio for iPads!
