I think many people have missed the point behind this, he is not saying that you can only take 36 pictures, he is saying that by limiting yourself, you will be a better photographer, because you have less chance to actually think about a composition or your camera settings, personally i feel that is a great challenge, its easy to take 200 pictures on a shoot and cherry pick the best ones. if you get better by trying only 36, you should be able to look at the majority of them and think they are good and usable. Also, in regards to cropping, it kinda makes sense, it's something i have thought about a bit, but it's basic, you crop a photo but blow it to the same size as it would be had you not cropped, it's going to loos quality. I do think that sometimes if something unexpected or unwanted appears at the edge of a photo or there's something not right about something that could be simply cropped out, then it could be a benefit. At the end of the day, no one has to take what anyone says as gospel, everyone has their own technique, some which work, some which don't, if you don't like what someone is saying, just don't do it, instead of spending time whinging about it, there's pro's and con's to everything, just because it's not how you do it doesn't make it incorrect.

I recently started shooting film. I realized after just a few rolls that digital has made me absolutely lazy. Film is much more fun (and way expensive! -- I need to start developing it myself... Allan's Camera is the cheapest around) than digital. You can get a great little 35mm film camera for dirt cheap at a thrift store. I've bought 5 of them so far. They cost me $4 to $10 each. It's addicting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for something like the old school Yashica. Though someone I once knew was telling me that they'd been in Hawaii or something, doing a shoot (I want to say t was for Playboy) and bringing the film through airport security, where the x-ray went past all his film from the shoot... then got back home only to find in the darkroom that his film was toast. Yet still had a deadline. Ater heaing that, whther true or not, I began to kind of release my nostalgia for film a little. I admittedly learned on film in university, myself, so with that i mind, I too began to realize a couple years ago that shooting in digital was kind of making me rather lazy as a shooter as well.

tip 1- the result is what really matters. using the lcd (expecially the tilt ones) can be very helpful. tip 2- pretty obvious. i never met a photographer who systematically avoids to look at other people's work. tip 3- some photographers are quite specialized, so taking gazillions of random pictures won't help much. tip 4- not sure. some scenes ask for a different aspect ratio to get a better focus on the subject. best tip i had from a pro: do what it feels right. this is art, not surgery.

What is it with all these people bitchin' 'bout your hair, t-shirt too small, what you have on the wall etc. Obvoiusly some look at these things and don't listen. After they ask why shouldn't you crop, why turn off the LCD screen, R U crazy use only 36 pictures etc. Look (and listen) to the video again where he explains what he means very clearly. When you crop you loose quality, looking at the LCD, you can't hold the camera as steady as when you look through the viewfinder. Limiting yourself to just take 36 pics could make you think more about every picture. I hope you don't care about these trolls and keep up the good work. Fro definitely knows photo.

Jared makes a good point. I used to always chimp after every shot, now all I use the LCD for is to see if there are any blown highlights and if my histogram looks good. In most cases the LCD is not a very good reflection of the actual image. Especially when I shoot in broad daylight, its almost useless.

Thank you, Jared. Great tips. As a brand spanking new photographer, I take a different approach to your first tip, and that's alright because these tips are not for someone new to photography like myself, but they are useful nonetheless. I use the picture preview and analyze it in terms of exposure, white balance, etc. Then I make adjustments and continue shooting the same picture until I get the best shot I can come up with. Then I review the adjustments I made and WHY(environmental factors), and take a mental note of that. Once I have shot in enough situations where I can fairly accurately guess the proper setting for most situations, then I will turn the LCD off and fine tune my eyes. Thanks again.

#1 - Its a real challenge, specially for young people that never used a film camera and funny for those that shoot digital for some time. Its really strange now a days to shoot without see the results. I am already heard in other videos from Jared this tip and also heard from other photographers. I did it other day and everybody need to try this.. #2 - Do this one almost everyday. Jared is The number ONE. The Best Photography videos @ KZbin. #3 - Always ! #4 - Trust Jared ... Crop = Crap

I think this is a great thing to do. Obviously hes not saying shoot your next client job like this, but do it in your own time as a challenge. These things are about getting you to think more carefully about the photo. Some other tips I like to do as a challenge are: 1) Dont post process, therefore shoot jpeg 2) Only take two shots of a subject Doing this is actually remarkably liberating, and Im sure it improves your photography when you go back to shooting as normal.

Good advice. I definitely love the no crop suggestion. You take better photographs when you consider composition first. The only exception is when posting to Instagram, because intentionally cropping to Instagram size looks better in the feed. Even then, I'll often leave it uncropped if I feel like I'm losing something important by cropping.

Hi, your missing the point. I in no way said you should NEVER LOOK AT THE LCD. I said you should challenge yourself to see what would happen if you didnt look at the LCD. That means go out and shoot on your own and see how well you really do know your settings. I use my LCD all the time, ALL THE TIME to help me make sure that when I capture the moment my settings are where they need to be. This is an excursive and something I encourage you to attempt once.

I can see your point on trying a series of [Unimportant] shots in order to test yourself on your knowledge of photography as well as the camera you are using. I can see this as class assignment if you are getting into photography. I used to have a Yashica Electro 35, Minolta X700, & Olympus OM-1so I get what you mean on the similarities of the days of 35mm film so I get it. Unfortunately most people who never used 35mm film will probably never get it.

I learned on film as well. I can see the point Jared is trying to make here. SOmetimes when i feel off my game I shoot a couple rolls of film and it brings back the creative juices, the tech knowledge that I need to rely on. I am not saying that Digital is bad, i love it, but what I am saying is that sometimes we need to take "36 shots" instead of 360. slow down, check and recheck everything. its good advice really when you think about it. Cheers Jared.

My thoughts on these tips: 1) I used a film camera to better my photography and it just didn't help me. I ended up taking multiple shots of the same photo but with different settings each shot to understand what exactly happens when you change things and angles. The only limit I put myself in is if i don't see it being a nice picture I usually don't take it. I understand your point but I personally think this is faster. 2) SO MUCH YES!!!! 3) I went from iPhone - Point and Shoot - Entry level DSLR - M43 and my next camera will be APS-C. You have no excuse to not take photos and you'll learn with whatever you have. 4) Out of the last 2000 pictures I have taken I have cropped probably 5 of them. Yes the Image Quality gets degraded.

Jade Jarvis I dug out my old Pentax ME Super, which I could never bear to throw away, had some guy give it a bit of TLC, found a place that sells film, put a film in it and went out. No LCD to cover up. And you can buy an old but serviceable SLR (without the d) with a good 50mm prime for not much cost. I even went and got a 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens on eBay for very little money. And I can tell you, going back to film (or, if you're not that old, shooting film) is great fun just like the man said; getting it right first time. Mind you, you do have to get out of the habit of looking at the LCD... Here's a few from my first roll of film in over 25 years. And the great thing is you send your film off and you get a CD back with jpegs on it, so you can still do a bit of post-processing like you were dodging and burning in a dark room, and you can still post them up on Flickr or 'social media'. Like JP said, get out there and capture the world. Or whatever he did say. www.flickr.com/photos/markkeohane/sets/72157651317588678/

Some good ideas, btw I have the LCD on my camera off all the time, as you stated in your other video, "it won't happen overnight and yes, after a few years you'll have a feel for light. Believe it or not, I shot my own wedding, by asking a friend, who was a beginner photographer. I set the camera up for him and while posing for the pictures, I instructed him what to change on each pose. We all had a blast and the images turned out better than we all thought would. I've been doing this 10 years.

We all have our opinions. I choose not to crop that is my choice and what I think makes me a better photographer. If you dont think its for you then dont follow it, its as simple as that. I am not a purist nor do I consider myself one as if we were purists we would be shooting in the back of wagons with huge glass plates. And no limiting yourself to 36 is no in conflict to anything. Its an idea something for people to try. Let me guess, you like to spray and pray right?

Great Tips. I shoot RAW too. Love saving time in post by getting the shot right the first time. There was a sports photographer who stated she needs to crop to get the shot in close. I see her point and have also shot many different sports. Get your ass up and move around the sport, get a different lens, make it happen, it can be done. I've even hung by my knees in a tree to do it, but I got it. Quality shots. Anyone can crop. See your vision and make it happen - shoot everything!!!

The cropping he's talking about is in post production, AFTER, you take a photo. If you take a picture while zooming, that's fine, and helps with framing the picture if you're not using a Prime(fixed) lens. If you try to crop or resize the picture on the computer before you print or use it to post online, then you will reduce the image quality of the original photo, making the image more granular, creating more visual noise(grain). Hope that helps a bit haha

Jared, I like your idea of covering up the LCD. Another option is to pick up a cheap 35mm SLR and try shooting film. I picked up an old beater Nikon 4004 so that I could scavenge the Nikon 50 1.8 AF off of it. But, now I have a perfectly serviceable 35mm SLR I can use as well. As for cropping in camera, I regularly do that. It used to drive my ex-wife crazy because I wouldn't leave enough cropping room for her when she scrapbooked. It also limits some print sizes because of the proportions.

I've been a photographer since 2011, and I completely agree with the cropping thing. It makes the photo look so grainy and not as professional in a sense. I also may try the 30 somewhat photo challenge during my next shoot, I've had to shoot at live shows and realized that I was running out of space on my card and only was able to take a good 30-40 and composition means a lot when you have very minimal space left on your SD cards. Thanks for the tips man, I've been needing to get myself out there more.

Jared, what will happen if I don't look at the LCD, is that I'll go back to the PC, check if the shots are properly exposed, then go back to the place of the shoot, and readjust the settings. Covering your LCD is just like making your PC THE LCD. But I get your point on challenging yourself.

One thing to note is if any of your speaker volumes or settings are cranked it can distort the sound. I keep Windows volumes around medium and KZbin and other players around medium and then I use the actual physical volume control on my speakers to control levels. I only pick up distortion and hums and buzzes up if the quality is reeeeally bad. (I hate headphones)

I believe your reason for "covering the LCD Screen" is to keep from "Previewing" your photos - there's a term for that but I can't recall right at the moment... That's all fine to cover the LCD but what about dialling up your controls (ISO, Shutter speed, etc) which is ALSO on the screen? Hmmm... Perhaps I may have missed your point...

Yeah, I'm definitely not on board the no cropping train. But that doesn't mean I'm choosing my composition wholly in post. I just don't like being limited to the camera's inherent aspect ratio. Sometimes I want a square 1:1 composition, sometimes I want a very non-standard shape which emulates a cinematic aspect like 2.75 Ultra Panavision. Sometimes I'll use in-camera overlays and sometimes I'll eyeball it, but in either case it will need to be cropped in post.
@thany3
@thany3 12 жыл бұрын
First tip; I think if you encourage people to shoot "blind" as beginners may call it, it's going to mean they'll use P-mode, or better yet, full auto mode. That way, they still won't learn, because the camera will be guessing all the settings, and most of the time, the setting will be surprizingly close to ideal for the average situation. I would enhance the tip by also stating to shoot in Av/Tv/M-mode and nothing else.

Limiting yourself to 36 exposures and covering the LDC is not in conflict to capturing the world! What limiting yourself to 36 exposures and covering up the LCD does, is it SLOWS you down so you think about what you are shooting! Also taping your short zoom (17-55mm) so it is fixed to a set focal length is great way to get you to move around and not be lazy! by moving around you may find a better vantage point, giving you a better composition within the photo, which in turn prevents cropping.

The first and fourth tips are exact opposites of what I was taught by my mentors. 1. Use the screen. It's better to know they're good than to hope they're good. 4. It's okay to capture a little more information because you can always crop it down to what you need. I understand that Jared is pushing the viewer to develop their photographer's eye. These tips will work, but I suggest doing them for practice shoots, never for actual gigs. Bring the skills and eyes that you gain from the practice shoot, but don't limit yourself when you have a job to do. Use both technique and technology together at their fullest.

Jared even mentioned during one of his shoots that he accidentally fired 2 shots because he leaves his camera on continuous shooting. Burst fire can be used effectively, spray and pray can not; it can, as implied by the phrase, allow for a good shot now and again. Efficiency isn't 5 good images out of 50 shot

Very good advice. I wish I had thought this of when starting digital photography. This exercise will speed up leaning your camera, I guarantee it. Filling the frame without cropping is also crucial even with 20MP or more.

Oddly enough, I stumbled on your channel five minutes ago, though your first point was something I began doing a couple years ago. I ewanted to kind of challenge myself as though I were shooting on film again and being in a photo shoot seting with a model, it was kind of of way to get me back in the habit real fast. Also, shooting tethered helped me not be able to see the LCD screen. In any case, doing so actually brought me back a bit in a rather short amount of time.

I found your tips very useful, if that matters the expensive but most effective learning technic for being a better photographer is to shoot slides, those guys have to be nearly perfect exposed, and if you screen them in the old fashioned way, you're not going to be able to crop… unless you put some tape. Ps: I'm conscious that shooting with film is harder than it use to be, but at least in the US, you're still able to buy stuff and get it developed.

Crop in camera. In other words, fill the frame with your image. It may require zooming in or just getting closer to your subject. The idea is to not have to crop in post-production. The more you have to zoom in afterwards, the more your image will degrade. Even with 10+ megapixel cameras, it's always better to frame the shot correctly when you capture the image.

I appreciate the to&fro. This is just my opinion too. I learned on a Pentax K1000, then had a Nikon N4004 for a long time, went digital-only probably 8 years ago. I think your approach is a great training exercise, but don't see the point in totally limiting one's digital camera habits to film camera constraints. It's always good to have composition in mind of course. But you're not using a camera that's limited to 36 shots any more. Use it like it's its own tool. You've got it, use it. My $.02

Here's another tip on how to become a better photographer...enter a few photography contests. Photography contests are great for two big reasons. 1. Photography contests can be used to see how your pictures stand against other photographers who are competing in the same contests. 2. If you win (like I did in a contest a year ago), then the contest will inspire you to challenge yourself to take better photos. These are my two cents....

Cool tips! I'll try covering the viewfinder! Heck I might even go buy some film for my Nikon FA and just see what I can do after shooting a 5DmkII for a year! I think the exposure readout in the FA is dead, but that just makes it more of a challenge. Fro rocks!!!!!
