Finally someone who explains proper composition techniques and not just say use the rule of thirds. Good quality content. I actually learnt something from this video unlike other youtubers who just say rule of thirds.
@anLTproduction4 жыл бұрын
Another great way to create depth is to allow something in the photo to be out of focus. Having a point of sharp focus, complimented by areas that look softer creates separation between objects and adds an entirely new dimension to composition. This is a huge thing in the world of fine art photography. Focus stacking is kind of a niche technique dominated by youtube vloggers that are generally more concerned with explaining technical aspects of a photo rather than allowing the viewer an unadulterated artistic impression of the work being shown.
@matthiasmullin4 жыл бұрын
I’m happy that you were one of the first youtubers I found when I started in photography. You’ve always stressed composition over things like gear and it put the right idea in my mind and I think it’s starting to show in my own work. You’re a great teacher!

I like the examples you showed, especially the not-so-obvious leading lines. I think that composition is one of the hardest things in photography. Aside from the obvious rules, coming up with creative compositions can be very hard. In my case, as an amateur and hobbyist photographer, it's not always easy to spend hours scouting a location to come up with a great composition. Thanks for the excellent ideas.

Nice tips ✌🏻❤️

Is it because you didn't have visual interest to the left and you had something interesting to right ? How do you achieve this balance ?

Hi, great video again. Composition in landscape I used to and still do some times find it difficult in a sense of making my image interesting, like you said having layers and connection the foreground to the background. I’ve had a tendency to take what I see with my eyes and then look back and it doesn’t have that wow factor that i saw. On different note going back a couple of videos, have you tried Luminar 4? I’ve always used lightroom but just thought I’d try it out and it has an amazing sky replacement AI, I’m blown away with how good it is, would be interested to here your thoughts and maybe you try it with that image you sent out. They have a 7 day free trial.
