Part Two is just as amazing as Part One. So much to learn so little time left. thank you Judy for your lessons.

[@judyhancockholland8007]

Thanks, Jim. New video just posted on black and white. Hope you'll enjoy that one, too.

Even though I only have compact cameras I found your two composition videos extremely helpful, I can see you produced the videos with all cameras types in mind.

Thanks, Colin. New video just posted on black and white. Hope you'll enjoy that one, too.

I thought I had watched all the videos about photographic composition on KZbin and wondered how I missed this one. Then I noticed that this video is brand new. Great job ! I look forward to watching part 2.

I wish that our photography club could get you on Zoom one day and pick your mind. Your work is amazing and our knowledge is beyond measure. Thank you so much.

[@judyhancockholland8007]

That would be cool! I do offer Zoom sessions and am booked for several presentations to clubs in the coming months. If you visit my web site at JHHphoto.com you can get my contact info and have your club contact me.

[@lisatalley296]

Thank you for these two presentations. I, too, started out with an Olympus OM-1. It’s on a shelf in my bedroom. I have shot some favorite minimal lily and succulents in the middle of the day, and I have shots of weathered hands. It makes me feel like I know you😊. Very inspiring Thank you

[@judyhancockholland8007]

Thanks, Lisa. Keep shooting!

[@RickMentore]

I stumbled on part 1 went looking for more of your work and noticed you have just posted Part II. I find the series a refreshing incite into minimalism and composition. Like you Cali Lilies and Georgia O'Keeffe are among my favorite art interests. My trip out to her museum in NM is listed as completed on my bucket list. I have subscribed to your channel and will look out for more informative, educational and inspirational incite into our hobby, photography!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mark1hancock]

Thanks Judy, I have been filling up my frame with the subject and haven't been able to work out what was wrong. Now I'm starting to think it has been lack of negative space to provide balance.

[@judyhancockholland8007]

Good insight! Glad I could help.
