I always appreciate Andy’s videos. This one is a bit of a gem. I can’t remember the last time I saw a landscape photographer being open to show images he has taken that didn’t turn out to be the photographs they were looking to make. Many say things in that regard but few actually show and talk about how they hiked and hour or waited for a long time and came out without the photograph they were looking for. I know this to be true from experience but it feels validating to see it described by someone I respect and whose opinion I value.

Good stuff! One of my personal challenges is that I tend to not work a scene hard enough for the optimal composition. A lot of it comes down to not being able to really review images on the spot the same way you do after months of hindsight and just time spent pondering about it. Just taking more photos certainly helps... slowly. That said I really enjoyed your quick breeze through "missed" shots because they were excellent in many aspects (better than most of mine) and thus made it more interesting to analyse the flaw. It would really interesting to maybe see more of that kind of critique and/or teaching method in future videos!

Thanks for the comment Teemu. I'm glad you liked the "missed shots" part. When I first recored the video I hadn't intended to do that, only to speak about failure, but as I was editing the video together I felt it needed something more visual (rather than just me speaking and waving my hands around :-)) and it's interested that a couple of people have picked up on that part. It's certainly something to consider in the future. I'll be travelling a lot in the new year and intend to do more "in the field" videos about capturing and for sure there are going to be times when things don't work out, so it might be interesting to do that and look at why.

Andy... Great video! Very useful! I tell people who are all into MEGAPIXELS and the best lenses that once a cheap tripod wiggles/wobbles so that the image vibrates around ONE PIXEL in each direction, that IN EFFECT HALVES THE EFFECTIVE MEGAPIXELS that they are shooting with because the rays of light, instead of creating coherent dots are blurred out the neighboring pixels. I've heard OVER and OVER people buying a new camera with way more megapixels than they used to have who are then completely flumoxed when they can't tell the difference between the photographic results that they used to shoot compared with their new sensor camera. ONCE a photographer understands that the slightest vibration moves the image around inside their camera EASILY one or two pixels in each direction then they understand the importance. Camera quality... lens quality... tripod quality... are the TRIAD of good camera gear. Now... having said that, there are pretty good quality "store brand" (Adorama's for instance) stiff, carbon fiber and metal apex tripods that are MUCH more affordable nowadays. Cheers!

Very helpful advice Andy. The one thing I have learned is to not get hung up on the latest camera body. It is getting the best quality lenses you can afford for what you want to do with the camera and then match to a suitable body. It is great to be ale and get the new sony A7iii for instance but to get the best from it means having the ability to afford the best glass to pair with it.

The simple reality of my work, and that of many professionals I nowadays I suspect is that it's mostly viewed online and the work that is printed is rarely above double pages magazine spreads or books. Print sales above that size, in my experience, account for a fraction of 1% of my income. It's nice to shoot with a 50mp camera and see all the details, but it's not a necessity at all.

Another "small format" photographer who's successful that I've basically learned photography from, is John Shaw. I bought all his books many years ago now, (before KZbin had tutorials) read them cover to cover and learned much of what I know now. Composition is the most important thing in photography IMO, and it takes a good eye so to speak. Definitely get a good tripod. I'm trying to be content with my APS-C Fuji system also. Make the best of what I've got rather than keep searching for the ultimate solution and then not having the money to go travel to use it.

One of the best landscape photography videos I've seen, really well delivered. In particular #7 is important - I have found that whenever I was thinking of what might sell well while shooting, my shots were uninspired and bland. When I shoot what I like, I can immediately recognize that I like it without second-guessing - and I just enjoy the shots so much more. I slightly disagree with #1: If you're starting out, get a merely OK tripod at first. It'll give you a chance to figure out what you like and dislike in a tripod before putting down the big bucks. The money you spend on the cheaper tripod might be the difference between what you eventually get and what you would have wasted on something expensive but unnecessary.

I picked up a Canon Rebel SL2 last year to start my photography journey. I will admit that early on, I had some not so great experiences being judged by many local hobbyist photographers who stroll the regional parks in my area with their flagship cameras and lenses. Often times when I simply wanted to say Hi they would look at my camera and ignore me while passing by or some of them would deliberately setup next to me for seemingly no other reason other than just to prove something...It wasn't what I had in my mind about getting into the hobby. However all of that judgement has only motivated me even more, not just to prove them wrong, but to prove to myself that I'm better than that...that real photography is the collection of a whole visual experience not just through the lens and camera, but through the eyes of the beholder and the execution of their vision.

I think photography attracts all kinds of people for a whole host of reasons, and among that there are people who are perhaps more obsessed with specs and gear than with the creative aspects, but generally I've found most people (not all, but most) are friendly. It's a shame that some people don't always seem to take pleasure in being out and shooting, but ultimately smiling at people and just focusing on what you're doing is the best way to go.

Andy, thanks for the insightful video. I learn from all of your videos and agree that photography is a constant learning process. The point that resonated most with me is finding the tool that feels most comfortable and most like an extension of one's self regardless of sensor size or megapixels. Until very recently that has been the Fuji X-T1 for me. I haven't felt this comfortable with a camera since my days shooting with the venerable Nikon F3 (i'm really old school). As photographers we can get wrapped up in the gear but the non-photographer only sees the image we produce - they don't care about grain or barrel distortion if the image moves them. So your comments on image creation rather than concentrating on gear is spot on. Having said that, the reason I'm giving up the X-T1 is that I've just purchased an X-T3 (I know i just shot my argument in the foot but I don't care!). Cant wait to get out with my new body and 16mm f1.4. Looking forward to your next video.
@AndyMumford5 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much Russ, really glad you liked the video. I loved the X-T1 too, it really gave me back my love for photography and just felt great using it. There were a couple of things about it that frustrated me though, nothing to do with image quality, just things which were missing that stopped me completely focusing on shooting - the bracketing was really limited, it lacked a dual card slot and I couldn't get usable video out of it. The X-T3 puts all these things right in my opinion

I love these seven principles. I have a great Gitzo tripod, but I don't duplicate my images, and often I don't get to the site early enough. So thanks for adding those to my basic principles.

Wow what a great video about... Photography. So refreshing to see it's about the essence of why we shoot and not about gear and why you need 12 card slots and a internal stabilized external anti alias filter...

I really enjoyed watching this video .. For me photography is about being creative and being there. Every time I go out with my camera is an adventure into the unknown as you can visit the same location many times and never get the same image twice. This for me is what makes photography unique. Capturing little moments in time creating memories that will last a lifetime is very rewarding on a personal level for me. Your video perfectly explains the magic of what photography is all about. Brilliant Video.

Getting there early......yes! The light changes quickly and you want to be there as the landscape changes with it. Very important.......

14:00 Such good advice! Was shooting a misty field which was really nice, but later that same day I was walking in a wooded area and just felt so much more peaceful and relaxed. While I want to learn to shoot everything, it's clear that light streaming through the trees and small streams and rivers are my happy place.
